24 alternatives to Automate your studio – mute a mixer channel to turn your PTZ camera

Seamlessly automate your audio-visual setup! This open-source framework uses the Open Sound Control protocol to integrate audio mixer consoles, OBS, PTZ cameras, and more. Perfect for live production enthusiasts, streamers, and tech tinkerers. I have made it originally to meet our needs, then opensourced it: We needed to move a PTZ cam based on the stage/pulpit mute states on our X32, but it is capable for way more. Let me know what do you guys think! Cheers!

    Our team is filled with technologists and creators, and when we record and edit videos, 80% of the time is spent chopping up the video, removing silences, and picking the right takes. So we decided to build a tool that did that for you — or at least get you there most of the way! Our initial implementation is somewhat naïve and uses a user configurable silence threshold that just reads in volume levels. In the future, we’d like to use a frequency-based approach that focuses on the human voice. We’re also open to ideas, so let us know if you have any!

    Hi HN! I made Beatsync, an open-source browser-based audio player that syncs audio with millisecond-level accuracy across many devices. Try it live right now: https://www.beatsync.gg/ The idea is that with no additional hardware, you can turn any group of devices into a full surround sound system. MacBook speakers are particularly good. Inspired by Network Time Protocol (NTP), I do clock synchronization over websockets and use the Web Audio API to keep audio latency under a few ms. You can also drag devices around a virtual grid to simulate spatial audio — it changes the…

    Hi all, my friend and I have built an AI-powered (whisper) editor for youtubers, podcasters, and video editors, that should cut down manual editing time by a lot. It's 'a bit' more than just a whisper wrapper, because you can configure a lot: - what kind of profanities to filter - add your own words (i.e. 'covid') to prevent demonetization on platforms like youtube - adjust the transcript in the editor like in google docs - readjust the position of each word - use 1000Hz beep, silence, or your own sound and more. You can export your work as audio, video, or as an .xml project for popular…

    I released a new version of Recut recently, rewritten from the ground up using Rust, Svelte, Tauri, TypeScript, and Tailwind (RUSTTT stack for the win!). It's the first app I've built with Tauri and I've really enjoyed it. Some back story: Recut is a tool I built to speed up my screencast editing workflow. It's like a lightweight single-purpose video editor. It chops out the pauses, with some knobs to tweak how closely it cuts and what it leaves in, and lets you get a live preview of what it'll look and sound like with the cuts applied. It can then export to a handful of other editors,…

    Hi HN, I’ve been working on a browser-based tool for exploring and debugging Web Audio API graphs. Web Audio Studio lets you write real Web Audio API code, run it, and see the runtime graph it produces as an interactive visual representation. Instead of mentally tracking connect() calls, you can inspect the actual structure of the graph, follow signal flow, and tweak parameters while the audio is playing. It includes built-in visualizations for common node types — waveforms, filter responses, analyser time and frequency views, compressor transfer curves, waveshaper distortion, spatial…

    I recently got Ableton Move and was disappointed by how difficult it was to convert samples into Move-compatible drum racks, so I made a simple CLI tool for that. I hope others find it useful, and at some point, Ableton sees the need and provides us with a built-in solution.

    I originally added this to my site to speed up my video editing process. Last year I started a youtube channel and for some of my longer videos it's annoying to rely on youtube or capcut to transcribe when Whisper is open source. Capcut also recently updated their T&Cs to say they own your content if you use their app, so I cancelled my subscription. Another use-case I have is recording my claude prompts as audio, transcribing them, and then pasting them into my terminal. I mostly work on the CLI (claude, ffmpeg, whisper), but I wanted to make a browser version. Not reinventing the wheel…
