Use on server?

[cmdrmcdonald]

I love what sono does, but am looking for an audio processing library that works on a server rather than a browser. Is this something that sono can do, possibly in conjunction with a package like https://github.com/mohayonao/web-audio-engine to provide the web audio?

Hi @cmdrmcdonald, this is an interesting prospect.

My guess is that out of the box there are likely some browser apis (other than Web Audio itself) we are using that wouldn't be available (refs to window, xhr, etc).

The next step with sono is to make it a bit more modular so that the core is smaller and it's easier to add to, so that could help with something like this.

What would be the most important features to have available in your use case?

[cmdrmcdonald]

My use case is to add processing to existing sound files, so basically to load in a file, add a number of effects to it, then save it out with those effects applied.

[ianmcgregor]

In that case I think the modularisation is definitely going to help when it's ready, because you'll be able to use all the effects without having to touch the browser dependent stuff.

[cmdrmcdonald]

Thanks for the response. Any idea when the modularisation might occur?

Are there any updates regarding this? I too would like to use this outside the browser, on a raspberry pi to be exact. I still haven't been able to find anything close to the functionality of this library so I would be more than thankful if you could provide some form of update.
