I was tasked with creating a Loop Machine application as part of the assignment. The exercise involved using 8 provided MP3 audio files to build a user interface where users could combine multiple tracks, control playback (play, pause, stop), and adjust individual track volumes. The application needed to synchronize the audio tracks to play seamlessly as a loop. While the assignment was interesting, it felt disproportionately complex for a junior-level role and the time frame given.
