About G-Force

      G-Force is an music visualization plug-in for media players and also can visualize auxiliary or "line-in" audio. G-Force features fast anti-aliased effects, millions of possible effect combinations, savable and scriptable effects, video file export capabilities, and unparalleled expandability. G-Force is designed to entertain you on its own, but there are many ways it can be customized and extended.


Important
  • Frequent questions are addressed in the FAQ and Troubleshooting sections.
  • To maximize frame rate:
    • Disable background tasks (virus scanners, file sharing apps, system monitoring, etc)
    • Disable CPU energy-saving features (ie, CPU speed reduction).
    • Disable software audio filters (equalizers, sound filters, "DSPs").
