Web Audio API

Definitions

1. A high-level browser API for processing, synthesizing, and analyzing audio in real time by connecting AudioNode objects into a directed graph — from sources (oscillators, media elements, microphone input) through effects (gain, filters, convolution reverb) to a destination (speakers or a recorder).

   In plain English: A built-in browser tool that lets web pages create, modify, and play sounds in real time, like a virtual audio studio.

   Example: "I built a guitar tuner in the browser using the Web Audio API's AnalyserNode to run an FFT on the mic input."
