    I'm a startup founder building a prototype generative music app using Web Audio. I would love to hear your advice about where to start from programming standpoint: pure Javascript? Use libraries like Tone.js + Tuna.js, Howler.js, Wad.js, XSound? I'd prefer to well-supported libraries. I'm happy to trade some functionality or performance for stability.

  • Project mention: Alternatives to MultiPSK? | /r/RTLSDR | 2023-06-05

    It is far easier to use a non-Windows operating system and simply direct the IQ data into the application you want, or use a better app which can take data directly from the RSPdx. However, in an RTL-SDR book, I saw a reference to VB-Cable, which is a separate software from VAC. Pipewire is another tool, definitely open-source and free, which should work.
