Playing with MediaStream API
I recently purchased a new headset for use on video conference calls at work. I wanted to test out the microphone to see how it sounded compared to my internal MacBook microphone. I started fiddling around with using macOS Voice Memos and it worked but it wasn’t long until I was looking on the web for “test microphone” site. Sadly, the sites I found were full of ads and bloated with things I didn’t want.

I learned a lot.
