Could you build this?
Partial The UI and music playback can be easily built, but extracting clear pitch, timing, and chord progressions from raw voice humming requires specialized audio DSP and machine learning.
What it would actually take: The core engine requires a digital signal processing pipeline using pitch-tracking models like CREPE or Spotify's Basic Pitch running via Web Audio API or Python. The hard part is filtering out vocal vibrato, room acoustics, and pitch drift, then using music theory algorithms to quantize notes and infer coherent harmony and chord progressions from imperfect human input.
