Retro Radio

Inspiration

Retro style radio

What it does

Takes a YouTube link and streams it and distorts sound based on user input

How we built it

Used ffmpeg for the distortion, custom node API and react

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest difficulties was to overcome the lack of front-end skills the team had.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to fully complete the project including but not limited to: 1. Finishing the Project. 2. Making it look retro. 3. Having a waveform. 4. Creating a CRT monitor effect. 5. Using React as Front-End. 6. Collaborating with each other. 7. Custom node API to download YouTube link, distort sound and stream to react client

What we learned

Front-end and back-end development. Valuable team working skills.

What's next for Retro Radio

If we would develop it further we would add other websites than just YouTube when it comes to getting musical output. We would also implement different types of distortions.
