About NestDrop


NestDrop allows you to perform with high-resolution high-fps visuals which react in realtime to the music and then broadcasts the video via Spout. Since the Milkdrop engine is at the core you can easily bring in your own Milkdrop presets. Use any audio source to drive the visuals, even live audio. We know that your attention bandwidth is already in high demand and so we've streamlined NestDrop to be simple and fast to use.
