Inspiration from those that came before us...

Putting these links here because I think they're interesting previous approaches to this and similar problems, and I mean to study them in more detail:

• sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ! (2006) Art project that rearranged the beats of one sound into another, similar to what we're doing. It even has video! Promo clip and demo. The artists seems to have made plans to release the code, but it's not clear if that ever happened.
• Scrambled Hacks re-creation (2018). https://github.com/stevemurr/scrambled This repo has some interesting links to algorithms for audio similarity.
• samplebrain (most recent version 2022) Made by Dave Giffiths and Aphex Twin, this Qt app recreates one sample with another, similar to what we're doing here. https://gitlab.com/then-try-this/samplebrain/

There are definitely some really interesting things that we're doing here that these other apps aren't doing and vice versa. I think there's a lot of potential to make a really great utility that learns from the strengths of these other programs, and that explores new ground with breathing the life of one sample into another.

I just wanna give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's contributing to this project. I am amazed and humbled by all of your great work.
