In this tutorial, we'll guide you through creating a clean and simple audio spectrum animation in Adobe After Effects. This popular effect is often seen in music visualizations and adds a dynamic touch to your videos.

**Step 1: Set Up Your Composition**
Start by importing your music file and image into Adobe After Effects. Create a new composition with full HD resolution. Adjust the duration of your composition to match the length of your audio, or trim it later to fit your needs.

**Step 2: Add Audio and Image**
Drag your audio file and image into the composition. For a Spotify-like vibe, apply the "Kurama" effect to achieve a similar style. Create a new adjustment layer to handle grading and exposure.

**Step 3: Apply Color Correction and Effects**
Apply color correction by using the "Exposure" effect from the Effects & Presets panel on your image. Adjust the exposure to fade the image appropriately. Customize your text and audio spectrum elements to enhance the visual appeal.

**Step 4: Fine-Tune Your Animation**
Experiment with your layers and effects to achieve the desired look. Play around with various components to perfect your audio spectrum animation.
