I have a question that can I trim my audio file that is recorded via javascript? Like I want to trim the first 3 seconds. I recorded the audio file using p5.js
and merged the recorded file with karaoke audio with AudioContext()
and I want to trim it because of an unpleasant sound at the start.
You will probably need to read the audio into an AudioBuffer
using something like AudioContext.decodeAudioData()
, plug the AudioBuffer
into a AudioBufferSourceNode
. Then you can skip the first 3 seconds using the offset parameter of AudioBufferSourceNode.start()
and record the resulting output stream.
Example code:
var source = audioCtx.createBufferSource();
var dest = audioCtx.createMediaStreamDestination();
var mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(dest.stream);
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', 'your.ogg', true);
request.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
request.onload = function() {
var audioData = request.response;
audioCtx.decodeAudioData(
audioData,
function(buffer) {
source.buffer = buffer;
source.connect(dest);
mediaRecorder.start();
source.start(audioCtx.currentTime, 3);
// etc...
},
function(e){
console.log("Error with decoding audio data" + e.err);
}
);
}
request.send();
