I want to have the wave be manipulated by audio. does anyone know how i can import audio tracks into blender and have it "communicate" with the wave modifier?

using animation nodes this is how far i came:

There is two ways I know.

Set a key on a parameter of the modifier, and use the Bake Sound to F-crurve. But it's really limited.

Or use Animation Nodes which has actual precise animation controls an hu_ge possibilities based on sound.
Actually, in its Bake Sound node documentation, you can see an example setup looking like what you want:

  • $\begingroup$ you forgot to check the Mesh Data in your Mesh Object Output (far right node). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Juriaan Also, if you are using version 2.1, connecting the edge indices is a must. So, make sure you do. $\endgroup$
