It mirrors the browser's Web Audio specification using an audio node graph model — sources, processors, and outputs — allowing precise audio manipulation. The post walks through two practical examples: basic audio file playback using AudioContext and AudioBufferSourceNode, and a cross-fade transition between two songs using GainNode with linear ramp scheduling. Key concepts covered include AudioParam control methods, the one-time-use nature of source nodes, and the tradeoffs of linear vs. equal-power cross-fading. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
