Purpose
Creative audio processors are difficult to evaluate when presets, preview rendering, offline export, and listening evidence follow different contracts.
Creative technology / 2026
Beautiful Ruin
Web audio processor with deterministic DSP, AudioWorklet preview, source analysis, authored effect families, comparison, snapshots, and WAV export.

Methods
- Next.js
- Web Audio
- AudioWorklet
- TypeScript
- DSP
- WAV export
Outputs
- Interactive audio processor
- WAV renders
- Listening and regression manifests
Result
A working product slice and sound-lab workflow for repeatable effect authoring and review.
Implementation
How it works
A Next.js workspace shares typed preset contracts with a scene runtime, deterministic DSP core, AudioWorklet preview, and a headless sound-lab evaluation harness.
The current slice uploads audio, analyzes BPM, key, waveform, and spectrum, auditions authored variants, compares dry and wet output, saves snapshots, and exports WAV files.
