🎯 What is this?

This is a learning-in-public project documenting my journey into Generative AI for Audio. I'm building a text-to-ambient-sound app while studying the underlying models, papers, and techniques.

Features:

• 🎧 Quick Generate — 8 hand-crafted ambient presets, one click to generate
• 🎛️ Layer Mixer — generate up to 3 sound layers and mix them with volume control
• ✍️ Custom — write your own prompts with adjustable guidance scale and inference steps
