The 2018 paper “[WebAssembly AudioWorklet Csound](http://webaudioconf.com/_data/papers/pdf/2018/2018_24.pdf)” by Yi, Lazzarini, and Costello (and its [accompanying presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLTBTDOXfjA)) are very helpful for understanding WebAudio Csound. Do they reflect the current state of WebAudio Csound? Can someone give a quick update on any important aspects of the project that have changed since then? How has performance improved in the past couple years?

Thanks!  
Jason

I guess most of the AudioWorklet stuff is still relevant, but I think Steven and hlolli have been doing a lot of work on this lately so they can advise better than I. But I would say that between the docs that come with the latest version, and questions to this forum you should be in a good position to proceed. I’ve found that the performance is getting better. To be honest, I’ve rarely had any issues with performance, but I usually try to keep things simple when I’m working with web Csound.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Web Csound documentation. Sometimes I have a hard time finding where the documentation is across the Csound ecosystem, but now I see it and it looks super helpful. Thanks for your patience and generosity with all my questions!

Note that the online docs are a little behind the current releases. I got caught out with that recently 🙈
