Build a vanilla JavaScript app that accesses my browser microphone and draws an audio spectrum on screen as I talk

Certainly! I'll create a vanilla JavaScript app that accesses your browser microphone and draws an audio spectrum on screen as you talk. This will involve using the Web Audio API and the Canvas API. Here's the code for the app:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Audio Spectrum Visualizer</title>
<style>
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
canvas {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="canvas" width="800" height="300"></canvas>
<script>
const audioContext = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)();
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const canvasCtx = canvas.getContext('2d');
let analyser;
async function setupAudio() {
try {
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ audio: true });
const source = audioContext.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
analyser = audioContext.createAnalyser();
analyser.fftSize = 2048;
source.connect(analyser);
draw();
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error accessing microphone:', err);
}
}
function draw() {
const bufferLength = analyser.frequencyBinCount;
const dataArray = new Uint8Array(bufferLength);
function drawSpectrum() {
requestAnimationFrame(drawSpectrum);
analyser.getByteFrequencyData(dataArray);
canvasCtx.fillStyle = 'rgb(200, 200, 200)';
canvasCtx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
const barWidth = (canvas.width / bufferLength) * 2.5;
let x = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < bufferLength; i++) {
const barHeight = dataArray[i] / 2;
canvasCtx.fillStyle = `rgb(${barHeight + 100}, 50, 50)`;
canvasCtx.fillRect(x, canvas.height - barHeight, barWidth, barHeight);
x += barWidth + 1;
}
}
drawSpectrum();
}
setupAudio();
</script>
</body>
</html>This HTML file contains everything you need for the audio spectrum visualizer. Here's a breakdown of what the code does:
- It sets up a canvas element where we'll draw the audio spectrum.
- The JavaScript code uses the Web Audio API to access the microphone and analyze the audio data.
- The
setupAudiofunction requests microphone access and sets up the audio context and analyzer. - The
drawfunction creates an animation loop that continuously updates the spectrum visualization. - Inside the animation loop, we get the frequency data from the analyzer and draw bars on the canvas representing the amplitude of each frequency band.
To use this app:
- Save the code as an HTML file (e.g.,
audio-spectrum-visualizer.html). - Open the file in a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).
- When prompted, allow the browser to access your microphone.
- Start speaking, and you should see the audio spectrum visualized on the canvas.
Note that for security reasons, most browsers require that this app be served over HTTPS or from localhost to access the microphone. If you're testing locally, you might need to set up a simple local server.
Would you like me to explain any part of the code in more detail?

double the height of the lines
assistant (Aug 23, 2024, 10:02 PM)
Certainly, I'll modify the code to double the height of the lines in the audio spectrum visualizer. Here's the updated version:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Audio Spectrum Visualizer</title>
<style>
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
canvas {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="canvas" width="800" height="300"></canvas>
<script>
const audioContext = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)();
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const canvasCtx = canvas.getContext('2d');
let analyser;
async function setupAudio() {
try {
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ audio: true });
const source = audioContext.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
analyser = audioContext.createAnalyser();
analyser.fftSize = 2048;
source.connect(analyser);
draw();
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error accessing microphone:', err);
}
}
function draw() {
const bufferLength = analyser.frequencyBinCount;
const dataArray = new Uint8Array(bufferLength);
function drawSpectrum() {
requestAnimationFrame(drawSpectrum);
analyser.getByteFrequencyData(dataArray);
canvasCtx.fillStyle = 'rgb(200, 200, 200)';
canvasCtx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
const barWidth = (canvas.width / bufferLength) * 2.5;
let x = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < bufferLength; i++) {
const barHeight = dataArray[i]; // Removed division by 2
canvasCtx.fillStyle = `rgb(${barHeight + 100}, 50, 50)`;
canvasCtx.fillRect(x, canvas.height - barHeight, barWidth, barHeight);
x += barWidth + 1;
}
}
drawSpectrum();
}
setupAudio();
</script>
</body>
</html>I've made one key change to double the height of the lines:
In the drawSpectrum function, I modified this line:
const barHeight = dataArray[i]; // Removed division by 2Previously, it was:
const barHeight = dataArray[i] / 2;By removing the division by 2, we're now using the full value from the frequency data array, effectively doubling the height of each bar in the visualization.
This change will make the visualization more prominent and responsive to audio input. The bars will now potentially reach the full height of the canvas, providing a more dynamic visual representation of the audio spectrum.
All other aspects of the code remain the same. The visualization will still adjust in real-time as you speak into the microphone, but now with taller bars that better utilize the full height of the canvas.
Would you like any further modifications or explanations about the code?
