Web Audio API
Advanced Sound for Games and Interactive Apps
Boost your web audio capabilities with the Web Audio API
Go beyond HTML5’s Audio tag and boost the audio capabilities of your web application with the Web Audio API. Packed with lots of code examples, crisp descriptions, and useful illustrations, this concise guide shows you how to use this JavaScript API to make the sounds and music of your games and interactive applications come alive.
You need little or no digital audio expertise to get started. Author Boris Smus introduces you to digital audio concepts, then shows you how the Web Audio API solves specific application audio problems. If you're an experienced JavaScript programmer, you’ll not only learn how to synthesize and process digital audio, you’ll also explore audio analysis and visualization with this API.
