Here you will be taught how to make a cool looking
soundwave .
1)
Open a new file, I made mine 450 pixels
by 250 pixels and have the background as black.
2)
Using the Lasso tool draw the
outline of what you want your soundwave to
look like. this is what mine looks like.
3) Now on A SEPERATE LAYER fill in the
shape with white.
4)
Now make a copy of this layer (the soundwave
layer) and goto EDIT > TRANSFORM > FILP
VERTICALY
Now line the layer up so that it forms a complete
soundwave thing.
5)
Now merge these 2 layers into each other.
LAYER > MERGE DOWN. make sure your don't
merge the background into these layers.
6)
Click EDIT > TRANSFORM > ROTATE 90.
7)
Click FILTER > STYLIZE > WIND. A box
will pop up. For my soundwave I selected WIND
and from the right. I did this 3 times. Then
I did it 3 more times from the left.
8)
Were almost done. Now goto FILTER > BLUR
> MOTION BLUR. Set it to 0 degrees and
30 for the distance. (it doesn't have to be
30, thats just what i used, but generally
stay inbetween 10 - 35)
9)
Now just go to EDIT > TRANSFORM >
ROTATE 90 and there you have a very cool soundwave.
I went on and make a seperate layer and color
dodged it and change its color so here is
what i ended up with
