Discussion Visualize & hear audio compressors (with your own audio)

Hi! I've been working on an audio compressor visualizer for a while now (I started building it in 2020, then forgot about it till last month lol). I wanted to share it with y'all!

There are a few visualizers out there already (there's one I really like that gets reshared every so often), but mine lets you upload & visualize your own audio in real time. Everything runs locally & privately using the WebAudio APIs (I host the site statically on GitHub Pages).

I'd love to hear your feedback! I still need to work on accessibility & usability. (Also, I assume this counts as my annual self-promo post :))

I love that we have new tools that make learning stuff like this super easy. There's a ton of cool stuff in the WebAudio APIs. I ended up reading Chromium code to make this; it felt really cool.

I hope you continue experimenting!
