Web Audio Editor

A web-based audio editor which allows you to create songs from your browser in collaboration with your band members/friends.

If you want to have a look at how the editor works (especially that part where my brother and my flat mate are jamming a RHCP song), check out the video of my presentation from JSCONF.eu 2014:

Warning: this repo is only a proof of concept and the code is not perfect ;)

Setup

0. You need node.js, grunt, redis and CouchDB on your computer
1. npm install
2. Copy server/config/config.js.sample to server/config/config.js and fill it with your credentials
3. grunt w
4. node server.js
5. open http://localhost:3000

Understanding the code

While having a look at the code, you might have realized that there is not much documentation and I'm sorry for that ;) I explained the concepts of my code in my thesis (see below) and reading certain parts of it might help to understand the editor. If not, just drop me a message and I'm happy to help.

Thesis

This work is the result of my master's thesis which you can find here: (PDF version) (Github Repo)

Bugs

• Sometimes it doesn't sync correctly, need to deep dive in the algorithm more...
