Could you build this?
Partial A basic GUI ear trainer is easy to build, but processing real-time polyphonic or monophonic guitar audio from an interface to accurately identify pitch and latency-free note onset requires specialized digital signal processing.
What it would actually take: The application needs a desktop framework like C++/JUCE or Rust with CPAL, running real-time pitch detection algorithms (such as YIN, McLeod Pitch Method, or Aubio) on incoming audio streams. The primary technical hurdle is low-latency, noise-resilient fundamental frequency estimation that reliably distinguishes guitar harmonics, fret buzz, and pluck transients in real time. It requires solid domain knowledge in digital signal processing (DSP) and audio driver handling (ASIO/WASAPI).
