Audio quality 🎶

Clear Sound: Choosing the Right Audio Codec and Settings
In WebRTC, developers choose an audio codec optimized for the content type. Voice codecs prioritize clarity, while music codecs preserve the full frequency range. We recommend Opus for the best sound quality and lowest latency – Mozilla thinks so too.

However, simply choosing Opus isn't enough. By default, WebRTC applies voice optimization (AGC, noise suppression, echo cancellation) that degrades music quality. We disable these filters and fine-tune Opus parameters for full-spectrum audio reproduction. For real-time music jamming, we need to make three adjustments:
  • Disable background noise removal: this feature distorts music sound.
  • Increase bitrate: standard voice call bitrate is ~40 kb/s, but high-fidelity music streaming needs at least 128 kb/s for rich, detailed sound. Opus supports up to 510 kb/s – so we increase the bitrate.
  • Switch from mono to stereo: increase the number of audio channels from 1 to 2.

Synchronization ⏱️

Why not make music online with friends and strangers in any video chat? Grab a guitar, call a drummer, add a pianist — and play together in real time. Standard video calls can't do this because the participants' audio isn't perfectly synchronized. While minor delays are fine for conversation, real-time music collaboration requires subsecond audio sync across all participants.

We develop video streaming solutions specifically for musicians to play together, learn and teach, and hold concerts.

Sync for listeners
Each musician produces an audio track. Our software marks these tracks, recognizes the delays for each one, and syncs them into one audio file on the server. This synced file is then streamed to the audience.

But if this happens afterward on the server, how can the musicians perform together? They need to hear each other in sync to play together.

Sync for the musicians
We achieve synchronization for musicians by calibrating audio tracks through a step-by-step process. First, we measure the delay by sending a signal from one node and tracking how long it takes to reach another. Then, we sync the tracks by adjusting the timing — for example, when a drummer starts playing, their audio is sent to the guitarist. When the guitarist begins, both tracks are sent to the singer, with the precise delay added to keep the drummer’s track in sync. This cascading calibration continues with each new musician hearing only the previous ones, ensuring perfectly synchronized playback for the entire group. We built this real-time audio sync engine for iMind.com (music jamming platform) and applied similar WebRTC calibration techniques in ProVideoMeeting.

Real-time streaming 🚀

Jam online with no latency
Subsecond latency is standard in video chats; otherwise, conversations would be impossible. For video broadcasts to thousands of viewers, a few seconds of latency is typical. However, when jamming online with other musicians via video chat, latency must be subsecond — even if thousands are watching. We achieved sub-200ms latency for iMind.com and Worldcast Live. Read how we achieve this in the article.
Real-time monitoring to prevent latency: Internet connection, sound card, audio output
Monitor the audio quality of each musician in real time with a color-coded indicator: green for optimal, yellow for acceptable, and red for unacceptable. Quality parameters include internet connection speed, sound card latency, and audio output level — giving musicians instant feedback to troubleshoot issues.

For example, if a participant has a slow internet connection, the audio streaming won't be in real time, making low-latency music collaboration impossible. A red indicator tells them exactly what to fix. We implemented this monitoring dashboard for iMind.com and applied similar real-time diagnostics in ProVideoMeeting and BrainCert.

Multistreaming

We build multistreaming solutions that broadcast a single video stream to multiple platforms simultaneously — Facebook Live, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP destinations. Features include logo watermarking, per-platform quality settings, and stream health monitoring. We implemented multistreaming for Alve Live (live streaming platform with private sessions and multi-destination broadcasting).

AI-Powered features 🎼

AI-Powered Video Quality Optimization
We integrate AI/ML for real-time video quality optimization — adaptive bitrate encoding, bandwidth-aware compression, and super-resolution upscaling for smoother streaming on poor networks. We applied AI video optimization for V.A.L.T (video surveillance SaaS serving 650+ US organizations) and MindBox (AI-powered incident detection system).
AI-Enabled Automated Captioning and Translation
We develop AI-powered captioning and real-time translation that automatically generates subtitles for live streams and translates audio into multiple languages. We built this for TransLinguist (multi-language interpretation for hospitals and courts) and VOLO (AI voice translation with natural intonation for live events).

Shazam-like music recognition

We built FRP — a "Shazam for professional DJs" that identifies tracks from a library of 720,000+ licensed songs in real time. The system recognizes songs, tracks play counts, and manages collections. FRP is used by DJs worldwide for instant track identification during live sets.

AI-Based Content Moderation

We implement AI-powered content moderation that detects and filters inappropriate content in real time using computer vision and NLP. Our moderation systems handle text chat, video streams, and user-uploaded media. We built content moderation for Ariuum (live video debate platform with audience voting) and VocalViews (video-based market research marketplace).

AI-Powered Recommendations and Dynamic Playlist Generation

We build AI recommendation engines that analyze listening behavior, preferences, and social signals to generate personalized playlists and content suggestions. We developed personalized content recommendations for Sonar (social music discovery platform with Spotify and Apple Music integration) and Scholarly (AWS-awarded EdTech with AI-driven learning paths).

Listeners can ask for personalized playlists using voice commands to specify genres, BPM, artists, and more. Our AI processes these requests, searches through the database, and creates tailored playlists that seamlessly blend algorithms with human preferences. The system ensures accuracy and relevance by responding within a defined context.

Virtual and Augmented Reality Integration

We integrate VR/AR features for immersive music experiences — virtual concert venues, 3D spatial audio, real-time avatar animation, and AR overlays on live streams. We built AR experiences for UniMerse (Pokémon Go-style augmented reality for events) and Super Power FX (real-time AR visual effects with 500K+ downloads).

AI-powered auto-notation

For music education platforms, we developed AI auto-notation that converts live playing into sheet music, guitar tabs, or MIDI in real time. Combined with smart scoring for instant performance feedback. We built similar AI-powered learning tools for ALDA (AI assistant for course development) and Scholarly (interactive e-learning platform awarded by AWS).

Connect professional musical
equipment 🎸

Output: sound cards and audio interfaces
For professional-grade audio output, connect a sound card or an audio interface (Focusrite, PreSonus, Universal Audio). We display a real-time volume meter showing the output level, so musicians can optimize their monitoring setup. We integrated professional audio interface support for iMind.com and similar hardware connectivity for ProVideoMeeting.
Input: professional microphones, musical instruments, and amplifiers
For sound input, connect a guitar, keyboard, or other electronic instruments directly to the video conference via audio interface. Alternatively, connect the instrument to an amplifier and then route the signal into the conference. A real-time input signal level monitor ensures optimal gain staging. We built this instrument connectivity for iMind.com, supporting MIDI controllers, electric guitars, and synthesizers.
