The fftSize property of the AnalyserNode interface is an unsigned long value representing the size of the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) to be used to determine the frequency domain.
The frequencyBinCount property of the AnalyserNode interface is an unsigned long value half that of the FFT size. This generally equates to the number of data values you will have to play with for the visualization.
The maxDecibels property of the AnalyserNode interface Is a double value representing the maximum power value in the scaling range for the FFT analysis data, for conversion to unsigned byte/float values — basically, this specifies the maximum value for the range of results when using getFloatFrequencyData() or getByteFrequencyData().
The minDecibels property of the AnalyserNode interface Is a double value representing the minimum power value in the scaling range for the FFT analysis data, for conversion to unsigned byte/float values — basically, this specifies the minimum value for the range of results when using getFloatFrequencyData() or getByteFrequencyData().
The smoothingTimeConstant property of the AnalyserNode interface is a double value representing the averaging constant with the last analysis frame. It's basically an average
between the current buffer and the last buffer the AnalyserNode processed, and results in a much smoother set of value changes over time.
Objects of these types are designed to hold small audio snippets, typically less than 45 s. For longer sounds, objects implementing the MediaElementAudioSourceNode are more suitable. The buffer contains data in the following format: non-interleaved IEEE754 32-bit linear PCM with a nominal range between -1 and +1, that is, 32bits floating point buffer, with each samples between -1.0 and 1.0. If the AudioBuffer has multiple channels, they are stored in separate buffer.
AudioBufferSourceNode has no input and exactly one output. The number of channels in the output corresponds to the number of channels of the AudioBuffer that is set to the AudioBufferSourceNode.buffer property. If there is no buffer set—that is, if the attribute's value is NULL—the output contains one channel consisting of silence. An AudioBufferSourceNode can only be played once; that is, only one call to AudioBufferSourceNode.start() is allowed. If the sound needs to be played again, another AudioBufferSourceNode has to be created. Those nodes are cheap to create, and AudioBuffers can be reused across plays. It is often said that AudioBufferSourceNodes have to be used in a "fire and forget" fashion: once it has been started, all references to the node can be dropped, and it will be garbage-collected automatically.
