everyone seems to be commenting the same thing, but mine looks nothing like yours... -.-

im guessing that you left something out?

@ItzBulzii

The resulting smoke takes certain properties from the music, like the number of particles per second and the Y position. So if you are not using the same music you would get different results. If you are using a different music you have to tweak these settings a bit to fit your music. Particular has a lot of variables and every little change can affect the results you get.
