Could you build this?
Partial The UI and YouTube playback synchronization are accessible, but accurate neural network audio chord recognition, tempo extraction, and pitch detection from arbitrary audio require specialized MIR (Music Information Retrieval) models.
What it would actually take: A production system requires an audio processing pipeline utilizing pre-trained ML chord estimation models (such as Chordino, Madmom, or CREPE/BTC models) compiled to ONNX/WebAssembly for client-side inference or run on GPU worker instances. Additionally, handling YouTube audio stream extraction requires dedicated backend scrapers/downloaders subject to active rate-limiting and legal challenges.
