I just wish it had samples! I want to hear it

For sure! I just added a couple

I have to admit I don't understand what exactly the problem is we're trying to solve with ML here...?

Decomposing sounds from (fully produced?) tracks into underlying components, and then giving the user the option to synthesize them with different parameter settings. I think.

I wouldn't exactly say it's trying to solve a problem. It's to explore and see what happens. It's also a unique niche model I haven't seen before.

This is a really really fun sounding project - ironically, because there are no audio samples provided at all. I would have thought a music producer creating samples for music would naturally let you listen to what they were making.

Good point! I just added a couple at the end of the intro

I always roll my eyes when I see LLM weirdos talk about getting models to run on "old" hardware and finding out it's hardware that's still better than what most people have access to.

It doesn't make it any less impressive to those who know what hardware requirements for LLMs usually is/are but for those with no idea it usually ends up reinforcing bitterness towards it as they feel annoyed that their own hardware is somehow worse and yet are unable to upgrade because of said LLMs stealing all the hardware in the world all while RAM/memory/storage manufacturers manipulate the market(s) against them.
