Install with npm i @rendobar/sdk. jobs.run() submits and waits, so it returns the finished job in one call.

terminal
curl https://api.rendobar.com/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDOBAR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"compose","params":{"schemaVersion":1,"output":{"format":"mp3"},"timeline":{"tracks":[{"clips":[{"asset":{"type":"audio","src":"https://cdn.rendobar.com/compose/showcase/media/narration.wav"},"start":0,"effects":[{"type":"reverb"}]}]}]}}}'

Returns immediately with a job id. Poll GET /jobs/{id} or register a webhook rather than blocking on the request.

Visualizer The audiogram: the narration drawn as a moving line over the picture. On the timeline it draws the final mix. EQ More low end and more sparkle on a music bed. Compressor Even out a voice so quiet words and loud words sit at one level. Limiter Make music louder without letting the peaks clip. Noise gate Close the microphone when nobody is speaking, so the river drops away before and after the voice. High pass Cut the rumble under a voice. Wind, traffic and water live there.
