Always been very interested in audio-reactive led strips or led bulbs, I've been using a Windows app to control my LIFX lights for years but lately it hasn't been maintained and it won't connect to my lights anymore.

I tried recreating the app (and I can connect via BT to the lights) but writing the audio-reactive code was the hardest part (and I still haven't managed to figure out a good rule of thumb or something). I mainly use it when listening to EDM or club music, so it's always a classic 4/4 110-130bpm signature, yet it's hard to have the lights react on beat.
