Create, control and sync live generative visuals for OBS, DJ sets, streams and audiovisual performances.

Quick start

Choose a shader from Shader Library, or use Auto Shader for automatic musical selection.
Turn on Mic to detect audio energy, beat and BPM.
Turn on Perform to let Aura VJ evolve motion, structure and intensity.
Adjust Palette to set the visual identity of the whole set.
Use OBS Sync to copy the clean Output URL into OBS Browser Source.

Live Modules + Quick Actions

Perform and Mic are live modules with ON/OFF states. They control automation and live audio analysis.

Perform also drives live color response, so the set can breathe with the music even when your palette stays global.

Randomize, Reset and Full are quick actions. Randomize creates a new look, Reset returns to default and Full enters fullscreen.

Shader Library

Shader cards use real WebGL preview snapshots generated from the actual shaders. The active shader shows a clear LIVE state.

Auto Shader lets Aura VJ choose the next shader automatically from the musical context of the set.

Previews update with your global palette. If a preview is refreshing, Aura VJ keeps a CSS fallback visible until the new snapshot is ready.

Palette + Presets

Primary Glow, Secondary Light and Deep Field are global and persistent. They stay active across shaders and browser sessions.

Color Drift progressively evolves the current palette. Turning it off keeps the current colors and saves them as the latest palette.

Use Presets to save complete looks for intros, builds, peaks or outros. Presets are stored locally in your browser.

Audio + BPM

Mic analyzes live audio and drives level, bass, mid, treble, beat response and BPM estimation.

Background Safe MIC uses AudioWorklet + WebRTC keepalive so microphone analysis can continue more reliably when the controller tab is hidden or minimized.

TAP creates a stable manual pulse. When Mic is active, Aura VJ can display candidate BPM while searching and LOCK when confidence improves.

OBS Sync

Controller is where you perform. Output is the clean render for OBS. Both must use the same room.

Paste the Output URL into an OBS Browser Source. The output mirrors the controller render state, so OBS does not need separate performance controls.

Preflight before a set

In Chrome, add vj.eduruiz.com to “Always keep these sites active”, use a dedicated controller window and avoid minimizing it.
Disable sleep and power saving on the controller computer; confirm MIC BGS LIVE and Output ready.
In OBS Browser Source, turn Shutdown source when not visible OFF and Refresh browser when scene becomes active OFF.
Reference one Browser Source between scenes and keep browser hardware acceleration enabled.

Resilience + recovery

Aura reconnects a stale socket, retrieves the latest room snapshot over HTTP and keeps an active Auto/Perform set moving autonomously while the controller is unavailable.

If WebGL itself stops drawing, Output attempts a soft recovery and then a guarded reload. Open OBS Sync → Advanced diagnostics and use Copy diagnostics after an incident.

Fine Tune

Fine Tune contains advanced Motion and Structure controls: Temporal Drift, Wave Depth, Cursor Gravity, Surface Layers, Bloom Energy and Pulse Reaction.

Use the on-screen controls for Perform, Mic, Auto Shader, Randomize and Fullscreen. This build is designed for deliberate, visible control during live performance.
