🔊 Welcome to WebAudioPDX 🔊

We're here to build a conversation and collaborate with people in Portland (and abroad) who're interested in Web Audio! 

Our first few meetups have been organizational & focused on gathering a core group of awesome individuals who're excited to build meaningful projects together. In October we’re continuing to trend towards learning together, getting active, and are connecting with the folks who implement Web Audio itself!

This month we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Hongchan Choi, who'll be sharing the magic of the AudioWorklet with us!

Hongchan is implementing Web Audio for Google Chrome around the clock, and actively develops the Web Audio API specification itself as a member of the W3C Audio Working Group.

In addition, he’s been building incredible projects like Omnitone (Spatial Audio Rendering on the Web), powerful prototyping tools, and is paving the way for Web Audio to be how we interact with and enjoy sound across the Web.

Here's what he'll be sharing with us this month:

AudioWorklet - "What, Why and How-to"

Summary: "What is AudioWorklet and why do we need it?" To answer this question, the context and background of AudioWorklet project will be discussed. In the later part, the advantage of AudioWorkletNode over ScriptProcessorNode will be presented with the hands-on demo. Also the talk is followed by several topics around AudioWorklet such as thread priority, garbage collection and WASM.

• Initial Meeting Notes

Simple tweaks you need to sound good at your next gig.

This workshop will show you everything you need to make your live performances sound good with whatever sound equipment is on-hand. We’ll cover how to connect and troubleshoot a sound system, techniques to reduce feedback and improve clarity, and how to adjust your stage set-up to overcome common problems.

This workshop will focus on learning by doing. If you’re a musician who performs on an instrument, bring your instrument to the class and be ready to perform as part of the learning experience. We’ll focus on real-world sound set-ups which you’re likely to encounter in smaller clubs and when you are in charge of sound reinforcement for a small gig.

Saturday, May 10th 3pm -5pm

Hosted at Sound Storage Studios 17 SE 3rd Ave Suite 203.
