Audvis brings real-time and sequence-based audio analysis into one Blender add-on, covering both live sound-reactive animation and music video work.
Audvis - Audio Visualization is a Blender add-on for building audio visualizations. Its Real Time Analyzer drives animations that react to music or any other sound coming over the sound card or from a microphone, which the developer suggests as an option for parties. A Party Mode presents a fullscreen 3D view with no overlays or controls.
The Sequence Analyzer focuses on making music videos. Video Capture creates an image that periodically updates from a webcam picture, usable as a texture and useful in combination with the Real Time Analyzer. The Example Generator makes a grid of objects with many options.
The Shape Modifier can animate vertex location, vertex group weight, UV map, vertex color, curve radius, and grease pencil pressure or strength, across mesh, curve, surface, lattice and grease pencil objects. Drivers and Shape Modifiers can be baked for use on a render farm. A Spectrogram feature creates and updates a bakeable spectrogram image for shading, texturing or geometry nodes. It is distributed under the GPL license and listed here as free.
Audvis - Audio Visualization is best for blender artists building audio visualizations and music videos, plus live sound-reactive animations for parties.
Audvis - Audio Visualization is completely free to download and use.
Audvis is listed as compatible with Blender versions 3.6 through 5.0 and is marked as a Blender Extension add-on. If you are on one of those supported releases, the add-on should install and its features should be available. For releases outside that range, or to confirm the latest supported versions, check the developer's page before installing. The listing also notes the developer as a Dev Fund contributor, and the add-on carries a rating from a number of reviews on superhive.
Audvis is listed here as free, and the developer offers it as a free download with an optional paid contribution. Per the developer, any contribution beyond payment fees goes to the Blender Foundation. Because pricing and licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current arrangement before you rely on it. The add-on is also distributed under the GPL license, which is worth reviewing if you plan to redistribute or modify it.
Audvis supports baking, which lets you bake all the drivers and Shape Modifiers so a project works on a render farm. The Spectrogram feature is bakeable as well. If you rely on a render farm, baking these elements is the path the developer describes for making a project work there. For the exact baking workflow, check the developer's documentation before submitting your render job.
Audvis includes a Real Time Analyzer that can drive animations reacting to music or any other sound coming over the sound card or from a microphone. The developer suggests this as an option for parties, and there is a Party Mode that shows a fullscreen 3D view with no overlays or controls. Video Capture can complement it by periodically updating an image from a webcam for use as a texture alongside the Real Time Analyzer.
Audvis's Shape Modifier can animate vertex location, vertex group weight, UV map, vertex color, curve radius, and grease pencil pressure or strength. It supports mesh, curve, surface, lattice and grease pencil object types, giving you several channels to work with across different kinds of Blender objects. Drivers and Shape Modifiers can also be baked, which helps when you are preparing scenes for a render farm rather than working interactively.

MAD (Microphone Audio Driver) is a Blender add-on that turns live microphone input into an animation driver. Point it at bone rotations, shape key values, or custom properties and they respond to sound in real time.

Motion Sounds is a Blender add-on that inserts sound effects into the Video Sequence Editor based on bone motion events. It detects when armature bones cross a set Z threshold and places clips at those frames.

Audio Exporter is a Blender add-on for the Video Sequence Editor that exports audio strips as separate files or a single combined file, with control over codecs, sample rates, bit rates, and channel layouts.

Timeline Audio Visualizer is a Blender add-on that draws audio waveform overlays directly inside animation editors — the Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, and NLA Editor — so animators can time actions, lip sync, beats, and cuts without switching editors.

Sound Planes is a Blender add-on that uses planes to detect motion in user-specified areas of a scene, automatically adding sounds to the sequencer when a plane is intersected.
