Computer audition

Computer Audition is a type of technology where computers can learn to recognize and mimic musical sounds, just like a human can. Think of it like a computer having ears and being able to understand what it hears. The computer takes in the sounds it hears, such as music lyrics, instruments, and sounds from the environment, and uses special software to recognize what those sounds are. This way, the computer can tell the difference between different types of music and the different sounds that make them up. It can also learn to reproduce these sounds, so it can make its own music!
