Nice one, this is great, ps you have a double up/typo in your GitHub repo about.

Totally, it's surprisingly powerful and extensible.

Hi HN,
I recently open-sourced my electronic album Everything Is Free (CC0), but I wanted to go a step further than just providing files.
I built Everything Is Remixed, a browser-based stem mixer that lets you mix the raw audio tracks (volume, pan, EQ, reverb, delay) in real-time.
The Tech Stack: - Core: Pure Web Audio API (no external audio libraries) - State: The entire mix configuration (fader positions, effects settings, mutes) uses a custom encoding scheme compressed directly into the URL. There is no database. - Architecture: Cloudflare Workers + R2 for hosting the stems, but the mixing logic is 100% client-side.
You can try the album mixer here: https://evr.ichbinsoftware.com/
Try a pre-configured mix: https://evr.ichbinsoftware.com/hydrogen?mix=0:75:0:0:-3,1:90...
Or load your own audio files in the standalone version: https://mixer.ichbinsoftware.com/
The code is open source and CC0: https://github.com/ichbinsoftware/everythingisremixed
I'd love feedback on the audio engine performance or the compression approach!

Hi HN,
I'm the creator of this project. I've released my electronic album, Everything is Free, as an open-source repository under CC0 (Public Domain).
The thesis: Music should circulate like electricity, is public infrastructure, not protected content.
What's included:
- Full album browsable in the repo with immediate M4A access
- High-res WAV stems for remixing/sampling/destroying
- Interactive stem player at ev3.ichbinsoftware.com for each track
- CC0 license — copy, remix, commercialize, or repackage without permission or attribution
The process:
All synth and effects audio came from physical hardware (circuits/voltages), not software.
I wanted to capture the timing errors and human decisions of hardware jams, then release that raw data back to the web.
Happy to answer questions about the hardware workflow, the CC0 decision, or how to use these stems in your projects.
