Super cool! I was similarly inspired by UE and built a node-based editor into my in-browser DAW project (https://wavtool.com/ https://wavtool.com/).
It really is an excellent interface paradigm. I expected it to be daunting to first-timers but user feedback has been alarmingly positive. Many beginners find this more intuitive than the standard sequential list of effects, because the node-based interface reminds them of guitar pedalboards and home theatre systems.
- p32y 4y agoCool, what techniques did you use to create this amazing work?
- TheActualWalko 4y agoHaha thanks! The big things: - React as the core of the UI, with direct DOM manipulation and canvas stuff whenever the React lifecycle is too slow. - WebAssembly for any audio logic that happens at least once per sample - Lookup tables for almost all math that happens at least once per sample and is more complicated than multiplication - Use Web Audio as an interface layer, but do everything else manually. (Web Audio tries to help a lot of ways but often winds up making things worse) If you're curious about anything specific I'd be happy to talk!
