Could you build this?
Partial The web UI and YouTube playback sync are straightforward, but building an accurate polyphonic music transcription and chord recognition model with music-theory smoothing requires specialized ML expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires an audio processing pipeline (demucs/source separation, chromagram extraction, CREPE/pitch tracking) feeding into a neural network trained for polyphonic chord estimation (e.g., BTC or Chordino models), followed by a Viterbi/HMM smoothing layer based on music theory. Serving inference efficiently on user-submitted audio or YouTube URLs requires GPU worker queues (Celery/PyTorch).
