Ableton is awesome for putting this type of stuff out. The learning music section is also great. And, it's a perfect post for a shameless plug: I built a u-he Diva (my favorite VST synth) tool for generating presets with AI. It's called Diva Copilot and it can be accessed at https://divacopilot.com - I started out by offering a free trial with 10 free presets and then a monthly $20 plan with 50 presets. You can also buy on-demand credits. It works on top of a custom built RAG system that then uses GPT-4o for actually generating .h2p files. I'm mainly working on improving the knowledge base so that results get better and better. Still, you can already get some super good results. I put some examples in the landing page. Would love to get some feedback!
I’m a customer and it’s awesome. I think we’ve even exchanged emails about some questions I’ve had. When I paid for the premium version I thought it was super good for what I was getting. You must be getting a ton of traffic for it to still be paying rent after 8 years! Congrats!
I started learning on my own about two years ago and I only used simplypiano and youtube. I’m able to play with both hands now and can learn songs pretty quickly by watching youtube videos. I can also read some music thanks to simplypiano. I noticed quicker progress when I sat down to learn songs I really liked (in comparison to just learning what everybody else tells you to learn).
Thanks! Hadn’t heard about the book. Do you feel it’s worth diving into the GDQuest courses even though they are v3? Given the price, I feel like I should wait until they release the v4 versions.
I would get to the point where you can create simple games in Godot 4.0 first before looking at the GDQuest 3.0 courses. At beginner level, the 3 vs. 4 differences will be too confusing. But once you're at the stage where you're looking for intermediate courses, you can try and tackle the GDQuest 3.0 courses in 4.0 if you're brave. Some API changes are superficial enough, others less so - the forum comments have been very helpful to me. The GDQuest team are working on 4.0 material right now, although I think these will be new courses rather than makeovers for the existing ones.
EDIT: I sound like I'm taking sales commission here, but one more recommendation: the Bradfield book is available as a Kindle ebook, but Kindle's code formatting can be pretty tortuous, and incredibly you can't even copy-paste from the Kindle app without some hack or other. But Packt offer the full book as nicely formatted HTML.
I actually did find you guys last week. I didn’t buy anything because I’m waiting for the Godot 4 3D shooter game, since that’s exactly what I want to make. Having focus on code organization + best practices would also be awesome.
Awesome! The 3D shooter course is in production now, and is looking great so far. We try to inject best practices in all of our courses as well as weighing tradeoffs when discussing different approaches to a problem.
Newbie in machine learning here. It’s crazy that this is the top post just today. I’ve been doing the intro to deep learning course from MIT this week, mainly because I have a ton of JSON files that are already classified, and want to train a model that can generate new JSON data by taking classification tags as input.
So naturally this post is exciting. My main unknown right now is figuring out which model to train my data on. An RNN, a GAN, a diffusion model?
Did you read the article? To do it with OpenAI you would just put a few output examples in the prompt and then give it a function that takes the class and the output parameters correspond to the JSON format you want, or just a string containing JSON.
You could also fine tuned an LLM like Falcon-7b but probably not necessary and nothing to do with OpenAI.
You might also look into the OpenAI Embedding API as a third option.
