### Installation
Once BackHole has been installed (or not) you may either download the source of this project or download the latest [release](https://github.com/supersimple33/Touch-Bar-Visualizer/releases).
### Usage
Upon opening the app a new aggregate device will be created between soundflower and the currently selected output speakers. The volume levels for this device are then leveled using rnine's [AMCoreAudio](https://github.com/rnine/AMCoreAudio). Next the audio inputs will be analyzed and a visualization will be sent to the touch bar. When closing the app the aggregate device will be closed and the input returned to normal.

You may switch between the blocks view and the line view using the switch within the window. The color of the line visualizer may be changed using the colorwell in the window.
### Microphone & Other Audio Inputs
If you don't need or don't want to install blackhole you may press the `use without blackhole` button to capture audio from the default input audio device. This process also works if you have blackhole installed and unchecking and checking this option will switch between the two modes. This mode allows for easier interfacing with other programs that also monitor system sound or allows you to vissualize the sound in your current enviroment.
### Background Usage
The app will continue to run in the background and can be found on the control strip along with volume and brightness settings.
