In particular, might I suggest that there&#8217;s a huge GPU on most modern computers that could be used to play with building artificial neural networks to perform audio processing. I&#8217;m not exactly sure what the results of this would be, and maybe a GPU isn&#8217;t big enough yet to do meaningful amounts of ANN processing, but I  still think it&#8217;s a neat idea.<\/p>\n<p>I have memories when I was a tween of having a vision of manipulating a giant artificial neural network via a set of controls very similar to a mixing board, which controlled trigger levels and amplitudes of signals passing between subnets.
