First I heard prof Laine talk about recording auroras in the early 00s I and many of my student friends thought he was an old eccentric (in some less polite words too). Seeing him come through with such a solid long term effort, rigorously

The more I've written code close to metal (mostly SIMD for signal processing), the more I've grown to prefer either intrinsics or separate translation unit for assembly. If you want your code to intertwine with what the C compiler

Text and/or audio to music. Trained on AudioSparx data, with opt-out for artists. Music is somewhat coherent, but struggles to produce anything with direction or character. Only tried text to music for now, could be a lot more interest

It will be quite a while before anything else besides the student just engaging with playing and sticking with it matters at all. IMO. To that end, I think a crappy plastic MIDI keyboard can do a better job than a steinway if it is easier t

Using 3 bits for piece type (including empty) and 1 bit for color makes a simple matrix enconding of the board just 8x8x4=256 bits. Add run length encoding for empty squares and it will be much smaller. 4 bits per square has room in it for

They hint that the install fee can be discounted if other Unity services (read: their ad network) are used by the game in question. I think it's a play to force f2p games to use their ad mediator as the install fee will effectively rai

What's great about tracker music is that it's in source format, readable, editable and remixable as if you were the original author. Open source music! Great for learning.

AVX is very useful for audio DSP when you care about latency. Which is mostly in the pro audio niche.

The strange thing is, search engines used to be able to do this. But they have gotten progressively more terrible at finding a very specific result based on a very specific query. My ChatGPT experience is not that different from the "g

I think pitch memory is not at all the same neural phenomenon as perfect (absolute) pitch. I had an ear training teacher who would play a bunch of random atonal notes on the piano between exercises to "reset" our ears. Only works

Cellist for the last 35 years here. No perfect pitch. My "perfect" note identification is based on timbre: I know what each note sounds like on the instruments I know intimately. For synthetic tones, I will be off +/- 3 semit

Perfect pitch is by no means a requirement for musicians, although it is more common than in the general population, even more so for conductors. But intonation is equally easy/hard for absolute and relative ears. Some tasks, like tran

Storing copies of training data is pretty much the definition of overfitting, right? The data must be encoded with various levels of feature abstraction for this stuff to work at all. Much like humans learning art, if devoid of the input th
