Reverse engineering of audio effects can be done completely independently of the hardware that generates it.

What if the audio effect is:

Take an audio stream, apply STT, interpret the result as an algorithm, run the algorithm, take its output, apply TTS, then send that audio stream to the output.

  • Sounds like it would be susceptible to how they’d reverse engineer LLMs using distillation.

    • Connect the dots for me, I'm not seeing it. Unless you are talking about building a function approximator for a bunch of measured transfer characteristics, in which case you could as easily do that well before AI.

  • since human hearing is lossy you can get whatever sound you like. In the context of a moat there is none for a sfx
