## What it is
Tuna is an audio effects library built on the Web Audio API, offering effects like overdrive, delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, and bitcrusher. It is distributed via npm as tunajs and works in browser-based JavaScript applications.

## Use cases
- add reverb or delay effects to browser audio
- build a guitar pedal simulator in the browser
- apply bitcrusher or overdrive effects with Web Audio API
- create chorus and phaser effects for web music apps
- process audio in real time in a JavaScript web app

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made set of Web Audio effects without writing DSP code
- you're building a browser-based music or audio tool in JavaScript

## When to avoid
- you need audio processing outside the browser or Node with Web Audio
- you need a license-clarified dependency for commercial use (no license file)
- you need native or offline high-performance DSP

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: audio-processing
- domain: web-development, media
- platform: browser
- tags: web-audio-api, audio-effects, music, dsp, reverb, delay, synth-effects, audio, javascript, nodejs
