Weekly notes
Week 1
Monday 0923
Last week before the show, the team of week1 asked us to upload songs that are related to our memories on the wiki page, and they mixed them together with audio from the field recordings/memories during the show. Fred briefly showed us how he worked with Ableton.
- The hosts listened to all the recordings to become familiar with them and already had some ideas for possible pairings.
- From what I saw on Sevgi's wiki page, it seems like she also assigned keywords to each song for a better flow during the radio performance.
- Used a MIDI controller with labelled pads as a trigger. MIC were off most of the time.
- About 20mins break? (wyn's mix was nice, very fitting)
Micheal introduced us to Web Audio API after lunch
Your use case will determine what tools you use to implement audio. If you want to control playback of an audio track, the <audio> media element provides a better, quicker solution than the Web Audio API. If you want to carry out more complex audio processing, as well as playback, the Web Audio API provides much more power and control.
A powerful feature of the Web Audio API is that it does not have a strict "sound call limitation". For example, there is no ceiling of 32 or 64 sound calls at one time. Some processors may be capable of playing more than 1,000 simultaneous sounds without stuttering.
