Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

mediastream-gain

What is this?

A tiny browser module for creating a gain/volume controller for the audio channels in a MediaStream.

It's useful for controlling the volume of your microphone input before it's sent accross a peer connection in a WebRTC call, for example. This module is a small part of SimpleWebRTC where it is used for minimizing echos, by using hark to determine if you're speaking and turning your mic down a bit if you're not.

This module is suitable for use with browserify/CommonJS on the client.

If you're not using browserify or you want AMD support use mediastream-volume.bundle.js.

Important details

The way this works by replacing the first audio channel in the stream with one that is run through a gain filter. But beware that this edits the stream you give it in place it doesn't produce a new one.

Installing

npm install mediastream-gain

An example

Here we use another piece of SimpleWebRTC getusermedia to fetch user media in a cross-browser, easy-to-handle-errors-and-lack-of-support sort of way.

This assumes a commonJS environment, but that's not a requirement (see above).

var MicGainController = require('mediastream-gain');
var getUserMedia = require('getusermedia');
var gainController;

getUserMedia(function (err, stream) {
    // this will replace the audio channels in the 
    // stream
    gainController = new MicGainController(stream);
    // set gain to 20%
    gainControl.setGain(.2);
    // set gain to 0, effectively muting it
    gainControl.setGain(0); 
    // there's also:
    gainControl.off(); // equivalent to setGain(0)
    gainControl.on(); // equivalent to setGain(1)
});

Methods

It couldn't be simpler, but behavior varies slighly based on availability of WebAudio support that can be wired into WebRTC.

You can check for support by checking the support property of the an instance of gainController

These will simply be noop functions if WebAudio isn't fully supported.

.setGain(Float) - takes a number between 1 and 0 .getGain() - returns current setting .off() - shortcut for turning mic off .on() - shortcut for full gain
