### High-performance audio engine for React Native based on web audio api specification
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-audio-api)

`react-native-audio-api` provides system for controlling audio in React Native environment compatible with Web Audio API specification,
allowing developers to generate and modify audio in exact same way it is possible in browsers.
## Installation
check out the [Getting Started](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-audio-api/docs/fundamentals/getting-started) section of our documentation for detailed instructions!
## Roadmap
### Planned
### 
- **DynamicCompressorNode γ½οΈ**
Reduce the volume of loud sounds and boost quieter nodes to balance the audio signal, avoid clipping or distorted sounds
- **Audio tag π·οΈ**
Simple ability to play and buffer audio, with all of the most commonly used functions, same as on the web, without the need to create and manipulate an audio graph.
- **MIDI support πΈ**
Complementary lib for react-native-audio-api, that will allow to communicate with MIDI devices or read/write MIDI files.
- **Spatial Audio π’οΈ**
manipulate audio in 3D space
- **Noise Cancellation π¦**
System-based active noise and echo cancellation support
- **Recording to file πΌ**
Fully customizable recording to a file. Choose a file format, quality and other parameters. Fully integrated with the audio graph.
- **Playback and recording notification system π**
Control playback and recording from the notification center / lock screen and create custom notification layouts.
- **Wave Shaper Node πΈ**
Create custom nonlinear distortion effects. No need to buy guitar pedals anymore!
- **IIR Filter Node π§ͺ**
Implement custom digital filters using feedforward and feedback coefficients.
- **Decoding and utility modules π§**
Decode and modify audio data without the need to create AudioContext first through a set of utility classes
- **Convolver Node π**
Realistic reverb and spatial effects in the browser by applying impulse responses. It makes audio sound like itβs being played in real spaces, from small rooms to cathedrals, or through hardware like amps and speakers
- **JS Audio Worklets V2 π**
Customize the process pipeline with JS functions running on audio thread.
- **JS Audio Worklets V1 π**
Receive events and data callbacks from audio thread to synchronize with UI on UI thread.
- **Decoding support for m4a/mp4/aac/ogg/opus π**
Decode m4a/mp4/aac/ogg/opus audio files, allowing for playback of these formats in the audio graph.
- **HLS streaming support** π
Stream audio from HLS sources, allowing for playback of live audio streams or pre-recorded audio files.
- **Microphone support ποΈ**
Grab audio data from device microphone or connected device, connect it to the audio graph or stream through the internet.
- **Custom Audio Processor βοΈ**
Write your own processing AudioNode.

## Web Audio API Specification Coverage
Our current coverage of Web Audio API specification can be found here: [Web Audio API coverage](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-audio-api/docs/other/web-audio-api-coverage).
## Examples
The source code for the example application is under the [`/apps/common-app`](./apps/common-app/) directory. If you want to play with the API but don't feel like trying it on a real app, you can run the example project. Check [Example README](./apps/fabric-example/README.md) for installation instructions.
