This is great feedback, thanks! Maybe I should open-source the code.

Actually, fuck it:

I'll implement your suggestions (or as many as I can), thanks!

"AAAAAAAh WOOAH Jeez guys, I sure wanted to tell you this AWESOME-SPOOKY story that I had, but I can't read the next word on my sheet because my flashlight broke. ffffffffff! I hate it when it breaks."

How did that end up there? Are the AI overlords fucking with people trying to fall asleep?

Hahah, I have no idea, it really went off the rails there.

No problem! Also if you're into the music production end of it, check out adaptiverb. I use it extensively when I make ambient stuff and it is unparalleled for quality.

Hey, would you by any change be able to generate another background track for me? The one I have is 10' long so it won't be enough if the story is longer, and I don't know how to make these.

Just found this comment. I'm a bit into generative / algorithmic music; here are two demos I made a year ago: https://fligenstein.bandcamp.com/

One is just piano, the other is keys and drums. On Bandcamp they are about 10' each, but they can be made of arbitrary length, without ever repeating themselves exactly (in principle... in practice it's likely there are exact repeats but they should be few and far between).

If you have an idea of the type of background music you need, I can make other tracks too. I'd be happy to work with you on this.

That'd be great! I guess the best would be something with very smooth changes, like the current background track. I made that one on mynoise.net.

Here's a first try: https://soundcloud.com/user-120372285/pcbg001

(This example is just one minute but it can be made of any length.)

Maybe the mix a little too much on the high-end, which may conflict with the voice. It should be tested?

Anyway, tell me what you think; I tried to sound a bit like the current background but with a more melodic feel and less industrial noise; but we could go in any direction -- if we know what to try.

I think that's great! Maybe the changes are a bit too rapid, but it's definitely in the right direction. Also my email is in my profile if you want to take this offline!

Ok super. I'll send you an email to start the conversation but I'm going to sleep now as I'm in Europe ;-)
Re:Show HN: I had some time yesterday so I made a GPT3 podca... by stavros on Friday December 03, 2021 @07:36PM (#29437449)
Same here :) Talk to you tomorrow!

Email sent.
Re:Show HN: I had some time yesterday so I made a GPT3 podca... by bambax on Friday December 03, 2021 @05:14PM (#29436295)
Ok, I'll try to come up with a couple ideas tonight or this weekend.

I don't have tons of extra time these days for music, unfortunately. I give you permission to rip/download anything from here that you'd like and include it in the project, however: https://soundcloud.com/0-aces

Even better, thank you!

Oh huh, that looks very interesting, thanks! I imagine it's a VST plugin, I'll have to check it out next time I'm near a DAW.
