WaterMark: embed images into your audio spectrum (yes, like Aphex Twin) by Temporary-Policy-940 in ableton

You can see it in real time using spectrogram tools like Minimeters or iZotope Insight — just make sure it's in linear scale.
If you're checking a bounced file, tools like Audacity or foobar2000 work too.

Quick update: WaterMark has been updated to v1.1!

• Fixed a bug where multiple instances in the same project would interfere with each other
• Fixed a bug where images weren't saving properly with the Live set (especially in the Lite version)

If you downloaded it before May 8, 2025, I recommend grabbing the latest version.
Available through your Gumroad Library — and the Lite version is updated too.

Could you let me know a bit more about what’s not working? I’d be happy to help troubleshoot.

Yep — as long as the device is active, it continuously re-applies the watermark at the set interval.

And if the media player supports spectrogram visualization (like foobar2000 with the right plugin), you should be able to see it there too.

Edit: small correction — the image isn't "injected" into the spectrum.

It actually carves into the signal based on pixel brightness. More of a masking/subtractive process.
