Amazing I could not do that as an adult let alone as a teenager :-o I was always impressed with the Windows Media Player visualisations but I think Windows has dispensed with all that in Windows 10? Am not technical, my geekiness extends to plugging plugs into sockets 'to see what happens' and mercifully the current involved in most music-making hardware is user-friendly, I always err on the side of caution however
Re. Pico, also a geek - so tinkering with stereo leads & probes appeals

As Alan says “Lissajous figures from raw stereo music are likely to be very messy”. You are basically creating vectorscope which is very useful in recording as you can see the phase relationship between the channels and monitor the effects of limiting.
Never heard of a vectorscope, many thanks for that. All I'm really reaching for just now is the 'pulse' of the music, since you can't really do that in retrospect. Can't wait to fade some oscilloscope into my video, it will mean creating a musically synched 'scope video' to form the basis for all the other parts which are added onto it. Long-term though, I am recovering from a routine procedure so must take things steady - one of the reasons I left off picking up an old analogue 'scope, some of them are quite heavy - the virtual age has its advantages!
