How do audio visualizers work and how can I make one?
I'm not asking for a script what so ever, I'm just trying to learn how they work and how I can make one my self.
I'd like to be able to make one using a SurfaceGui and a Part changing size.

Audio visualizers work by using the PlaybackLoudness property of a sound. One way you could make a vizualizer would be to make a ScreenGui + Frame and set the frame's size every RenderStepped to the PlaybackLoudness of the sound. A script would look something like this
local sound = workspace.Part.Sound
local frame = script.Parent
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
frame.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,sound.PlaybackLoudness/2)
end)
-- you can change the "PlaybackLoudness/2" to anything different (even *2!)
If you wanted it to be a part, then it would get a little complicated because you would have to change the Sizeand CFrameproperties
local part = workspace.Part
local sound = part.Sound
local normCF = part.CFrame
local offset
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
workspace.Part.CFrame = normCF
offset = sound.PlaybackLoudness/40
workspace.Part.Size = Vector3.new(1,offset,1)
workspace.Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,offset/2,0)
end)

Thank you, Would it be the same for a Part using Part.Size? danglt 185 — 5y

well in that case, you will change the part's size but also need to change the position at the same time the8bitdude11 358 — 5y

ALSO, change the UDim2.new to Vector3.new (and use 0, sound.PlaybackLoudness/2, 0) the8bitdude11 358 — 5y

ok, also as its a function its self does it start doing this on join or can i make run server a variable and do it on something like mouse click or on touch danglt 185 — 5y

RunService is, well, a service. If you want it to start on a function then you could put it in a function (make sure there's a debounce so the player doesn't start the function a million times!) the8bitdude11 358 — 5y

basically script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() **The script you provided** end) I should be able to do that correct? danglt 185 — 5y

I see it can only be ran from a localscript. Where should the localscript go? And will it be the same for all players? danglt 185 — 5y

you can also put it in Backpack, StarterGui, StarterPlayerScripts, and StarterCharacterScripts (I think) the8bitdude11 358 — 5y
