Antropoloops Online Music Remix Tool For Education: A Web Audio API Case Study

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

Built a lightweight online remix tool for primary and secondary classrooms that uses Web Audio API to run nearly all processing client-side, stores audio and state in IndexedDB, and exposes an eight-track mixer with recording and Makey Makey / MIDI inputs. Offline use works on modern school machines, but exporting via wasm ffmpeg fails on older hardware. Claim: Web Audio API performs surprisingly well under low CPU and poor connectivity, while browser export remains the weak link.
