Inspired by Audacity, this project is a multiple track playlist editor written in ES2015 using the Web Audio API.
Load tracks and set cues (track cue in, cue out), fades (track fade in, fade out) and track start/end times within the playlist. I've written up some demos on github for the different audio fade types in the project.

Waveform Playlist requires webaudio in the browser to function correctly: Can I Use?

}Waveform Playlist uses an instance of event-emitter to send & receive messages from the playlist.
import EventEmitter from "event-emitter";
import WaveformPlaylist from "waveform-playlist";
var playlist = WaveformPlaylist(
{
container: document.getElementById("playlist"),
},
// you can pass your own event emitter
EventEmitter()
);
// retrieves the event emitter the playlist is using.
var ee = playlist.getEventEmitter();An example of using the event emitter to control the playlist can be found in /dist/js/examples/emitter.js

npm test
npm install && npm start
This will install dependencies and start the webpack server.
gem install jekyll
Jekyll is needed if changes to the example pages will be done.
npm install && npm run dev
This will build and watch the jekyll site and startup the webpack dev server.
Originally created for the Airtime project at Sourcefabric
The annotation plugin has been sponsored by a fond Italian TED volunteer transcriber hoping to make the transcription process of TEDx talks easier and more fun.
Currently writing: Mastering Tone.js. Get notified by Leanpub when I publish.
