Audio Editing App For Nimikry

Nimikry’s offering- Dubit, is a versatile application where one can record audio and do anything from adding music to other sound effects and filters and personalise it through the usage of sound packs. The product, which is available on both mobile and web platforms, needed a much necessary overhaul which led to the collaboration between Nimikry and GeekyAnts. The partner had come by us after going through our developer’s impressive experiments on Hashnode which gave them the confidence to consider us to be the right tech partners to take up the job. The project, which is still ongoing, is based on the scrum model wherein we enhance the apps through feedback with the focus being more on providing support rather than developing the applications from scratch.

Challenges are a part of every project and the major hurdle we faced along the way was in the integration of the Audio Engine which had been created by the in-house developer at Nimikry. We had to consult with the partner to overcome this technical challenge and to figure out the mechanism of the Audio Engine. Some of the other speedbumps we faced were in linking 3rd party libraries, basing calculations related to the pan responder, adding music controls in the app and adding a magnetic effect to the Flatlist which were majorly due to the discrepancies in code structure. We configured a way to go forward by consulting with the partner and strategizing the roadmap based on their input. We also found that adding social auth amplify push gives an error because of which we implemented Social Auth using AWS Amplify. Most of the difficulties we encountered along the way was also because we rework on most of the features and enhance them along the way which took up quite a bit of time. 
In bird's eye viewWe used Jira for project management.The project spanned over a period of five months.Audio engine integration was implemented using the previous codebase.

The work on the project is still ongoing with the team working on improving every detail of the application. The partner is very happy with the progress and how the GeekyAnts team has responded to feedback. They have decided to launch the Beta version of the mobile app to a selected audience to assess and improve on the UX. Meanwhile, the work on the web app is going as planned and both the versions are set for a fully-fledged launch in the near future.
