AE Visual Prototype 1: In this prototype I tried to set the initial stage on the shape and movements I wanted my audio visualizer to have. I made these first prototypes in After Effects as I did not have the skills and knowledge to create the visualizer immediately in UE5

AE Visual Prototype 2: In the following prototype I tested in which ways the particle sphere could react to the audio

AE Visual Prototype 3: After collecting feedback I decided to make the idle movements a bit more interesting, add some more colours and add a second sphere inside the original one. Now I had something I was satisfied with and had a great idea on what kind of visual I wanted to create in UE5. 

UE5 Prototype 1: This prototype was my first experience with creating a particle system in UE5, after I've made the particle system I tried to make it react with the music. Unfortunately the particle system in UE5 works a lot different than the one I used in AE, so I had to make an iteration on the visuals itself too.

UE5 Prototype 2: By playing around with a lot of values I managed to create a visual that I was content with in UE5. Because of Unreal Engine the visualizer does run in real time, but due to time constraints I was not able to make it fully interactive. 

Conclusion: All in all I'm satisfied with what I accomplished during this short project and I learned a lot about Unreal Engine through prototyping.
