Is it just me or is it incredibly useless?

"Here's a list of effects. Here's a list of things that make a song. Is it good? Yes. What about my drum effects? Yes here's the name of the two effects you are using on your drum channel"

None of this is really helpful and I can't get over how much it sounds like Eliza.

I made that video right at the start but since then I've asked it for example what kind of compression parameters would fit with a certain track and it could explain to me how to find an expert function which I would have had to consult a manual for otherwise.

Yeah I thought the same. Ultra generic advice and no evidence it has actually parsed anything unique or useful from the user’s actual composition.

I made another one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyMmurtCkHI

In the one I posted I was just so amazed how well it worked and didn't really try anything useful. In this video you can see it giving me quite good advice on how to make a bassline dubby and how to carve frequencies out of the kick drum to make space for the bass.

It also looks at spectrograms and gives feedback / takes them into account. I'm pretty amazed.

Did you change the GPT Vision system prompt at all? I wonder if changing it to state getting help with specifically Ableton, and maybe some guidelines around what kind of help you want could make it better?

No. But I found it good enough as it is

I just made a video where I test it with a proper use case. It helps me find effects to make a bassline more dubby and helps carve out frequencies in the kick drum to make space for the bass.
