Audio Producer Skill

I help you build audio players, process audio, and create interactive sound experiences for the web.

What I Do

Audio Playback:

• Custom audio players
• Playlist management
• Playback controls (play, pause, seek, volume)
• Waveform visualization

Audio Processing:

• Audio effects (reverb, delay, filters)
• Equalization and mixing
• Audio recording
• Real-time audio manipulation

Interactive Audio:

• Background music and sound effects
• User interaction sounds
• Spatial audio
• Audio notifications

        {recording ? '⏹️ Stop Recording' : '🎤 Start Recording'}
      </button>

      {audioURL && (
        <div className="mt-4">
          <audio src={audioURL} controls />
          <a
            href={audioURL}

      )}
    </div>
  )

Audio Effects

// lib/audio-effects.ts

export class AudioEffects {

    this.filterNode = this.audioContext.createBiquadFilter()

    // Connect: source -> filter -> gain -> destination
    this.source.connect(this.filterNode)
    this.filterNode.connect(this.gainNode)
    this.gainNode.connect(this.audioContext.destination)
  }

  setVolume(value: number) {
    this.gainNode.gain.value = value
  }

  setLowPassFilter(frequency: number) {
    this.filterNode.type = 'lowpass'
    this.filterNode.frequency.value = frequency
  }

  setHighPassFilter(frequency: number) {
    this.filterNode.type = 'highpass'
    this.filterNode.frequency.value = frequency

  const [position, setPosition] = useState({ x: 0, y: 0 })

  useEffect(() => {
    const audio = audioRef.current
    if (!audio) return

    const audioContext = new AudioContext()
    const source = audioContext.createMediaElementSource(audio)
    const panner = audioContext.createPanner()

    panner.panningModel = 'HRTF'
    panner.distanceModel = 'inverse'
    panner.refDistance = 1
    panner.maxDistance = 10000

    source.connect(panner)
    panner.connect(audioContext.destination)

    // Update panner position based on mouse/touch
    panner.setPosition(position.x, position.y, 0)
  }, [position])

  return (
    <div
      onMouseMove={(e) => {
        const rect = e.currentTarget.getBoundingClientRect()
        const x = ((e.clientX - rect.left) / rect.width) * 2 - 1
        const y = ((e.clientY - rect.top) / rect.height) * 2 - 1
