![]() My favorite computer graphics technique is fullscreen pixel shaders with WebGL. Spectrograms are also good for finding easter eggs! Visualizations with WebGL Shaders I’ve found the spectrogram to be one of the most useful tools for analyzing audio, for instance to find out what chord is being played or to debug a synth patch that doesn’t sound right. height = 200 const scopeContext = scopeCanvas. Using the AnalyserNode is simple: create a TypedArray of length equencyBinCount and then call the method AnalyserNode.getFloatTimeDomainData to populate the array with the current waveform data.Ĭonst scopeCanvas = document. In addition to providing the raw waveform (aka time domain) data, it provides methods for accessing the audio spectrum (aka frequency domain) data. ![]() The Web Audio API provides the AnalyserNode for this purpose. ![]() The second thing all audio visualizers need is a way to access the audio data. Today we have two options: a saw sweep from A3 to A6 and a song I made (a reconstruction of the track “Zero Centre” by Pye Corner Audio). The first thing you need to make an audio visualizer is some audio. Waveform Visualization with the Canvas API We’ll start with simple visualizations using the Canvas API and move on to more sophisticated visualizations with WebGL shaders. If you’ve ever wondered how music visualizers like MilkDrop are made, this post is for you. ![]() Build a Music Visualizer with the Web Audio API
