The OfflineAudioContext()
constructor creates a new OfflineAudioContext
object instance.
Syntax
var myOfflineAudio = new OfflineAudioContext(numOfChannels,length,sampleRate);
Parameters
- numOfChannels
- An integer representing the number of channels this buffer should have. Implementations must support a minimum 32 channels.
- length
- An integer representing the size of the buffer in sample-frames.
- sampleRate
- The sample-rate of the linear audio data in sample-frames per second. An implementation must support sample-rates in at least the range 22050 to 96000, with 44100 being the most commonly used.
It is important to note that, whereas you can create a new AudioContext
using the new AudioContext()
constructor with no arguments, the OfflineAudioContext()
constructor requires three arguments. This works in exactly the same way as when you create a new AudioBuffer
with the AudioContext.createBuffer
method. For more detail, read Audio buffers: frames, samples and channels from our Basic concepts guide.
Note: Like a regular AudioContext
, an OfflineAudioContext
can be the target of events, therefore it implements the EventTarget
interface.
Example
// define online and offline audio context
var audioCtx = new AudioContext();
var offlineCtx = new OfflineAudioContext(2,44100*40,44100);
source = offlineCtx.createBufferSource();
// etc...
Note: For a full working example, see our offline-audio-context-promise Github repo (see the source code too.)
