Basseta
A visual node-based audio editor that makes audio processing and sound design accessible to everyone.
About
Basseta is a web-based audio editor that brings the power of node-based audio processing to your browser. Currently in early development, this closed-source project is designed with both beginners and professionals in mind, providing an intuitive visual interface for creating and manipulating audio effects chains without requiring deep technical knowledge of audio processing.
Key Features
- Visual node-based interface for creating audio processing chains
- Real-time audio processing and preview
- Extensive library of audio effects and processors
- Drag-and-drop interface for easy node connection
- Save and load your audio processing configurations
- Export processed audio in various formats
- Responsive design for both desktop and mobile use
Technology
Built with TypeScript and React, Basseta leverages the Web Audio API to provide real-time audio processing capabilities. The application uses a custom node-based UI framework built on top of React Flow, while Tailwind CSS ensures a consistent and responsive design. The audio processing engine is built with performance in mind, utilizing Web Workers for heavy computations and the Web Audio API's native processing capabilities.
Development Process
Basseta was born from the need for a more accessible way to create and experiment with audio effects. The project started as a simple audio processing tool and evolved into a full-featured node-based editor. Special attention was paid to making the interface intuitive while maintaining powerful capabilities.
The development process focused on creating a robust foundation that could support complex audio processing chains while remaining performant. Key challenges included managing real-time audio processing, implementing a flexible node system, and ensuring smooth user interactions.
Future Plans
The project roadmap includes several exciting features:
- Advanced audio analysis tools and visualizations
- Support for custom audio processing nodes
- Collaborative editing features
- Integration with popular audio formats and DAWs
- Enhanced mobile experience with touch gestures
- Community-driven node library
