How do I get the glitch effect?

In the dashboard’s Visuals tab, under Post-Processing, raise Glitch / RGB Split. It separates the red, green and blue channels, and the treble in your music pushes the split wider, so it flickers with the hats. It works with every engine, on every plan.

Can I make phonk edits with it?

Yes. Clip export records a vertical 1080×1920 video of 15, 30 or 60 seconds with the audio, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. It is on every plan; free clips carry the watermark. A clip is a recording, so its end does not loop seamlessly back to its start.

Will it follow my music rather than my microphone?

Set Listening to Music / system and share the tab or screen with audio. In Chrome or Edge on Windows it then hears the track directly. Browsers on a Mac, and Firefox or Safari anywhere, cannot capture system audio, so there it listens through the microphone.

Which look is closest to dark phonk?

The Tricorn engine shown on this page, listed as Void Spike in the dashboard, draws sharp, spiked shapes; it is a Plus engine, and free inside Ambient Mode as the Void look. On the free plan, Lava Flow with the glitch raised gets close. Fractal looks sweep through the colour wheel about every 20 seconds; for a colour that holds, such as a deep red, use Bass Tunnel on Plus.

Yes. The free plan streams at 720p and 30fps with a small watermark, three engines and Twitch. Plus removes the watermark, renders at 1080p and 60fps, unlocks all eight engines and adds automatic YouTube and Kick events.

What is A Dark Phonk Visualizer That Hits on the 808?

Vortexia is a free, browser-based visualizer you can push into dark phonk territory in a minute. Raise Glitch / RGB Split: the colour channels tear apart, and the split widens further on its own whenever the hi-hats hit, so the glitch rides the track rather than sitting still. A separate beat detector sends a pulse through the picture on every kick, so the 808s land as hits instead of a general brightening. The spiky Tricorn engine this page opens with, Void Spike in the dashboard, is a Plus engine; on the free plan, start from the Lava Flow preset and add the glitch. Use it as a Browser Source in OBS for a phonk stream, or export a 9:16 clip for a drift or car edit.
