Introducing the Web Audio Editor in Firefox Developer Tools
A little over five years ago, when a whole lot of people were telling me that Javascript could do anything that Flash could do, whenever I brought up anything related to audio, I'd get silence. Writing something like http://www.audiotool.com/ to operate in the browser was just not possible without Flash (or maybe Java)The continued envelope-pushing going on at Mozilla with regards to audio in the browser has been great to watch unfold. Part of what made the web browser so interesting to me was that I could easily build things in it using a text editor. I didn't need to buy a compiler or a textbook, because I could look at an interesting website and peek under the hood. It's been a gateway into other more complicated realms of software production for me, and it's exciting to see audio signal processing tools coming into the fold as well.
