Great thanks. But throughout this project I've been wondering: why can't I buffer a damn oscillator (or gain) node?

Thanks for the advice! What node would be a mixer in WebAudio?

That would be great, here's my code: https://github.com/johnBartos/buffer-oscillator-node/blob/ma... I wonder if instead of encoding as ogg/opus I could switch the string to WAV instead?

I'm not sure if you're being facetious but for those of us who enjoy playing video games a desktop is the best choice. If you don't care about portability, why not get something that is by far more powerful, cheaper, customiz
