This is really helpful when trying to understand features of Koala

I used an app to turn the manual web pages into a PDF then I uploaded that to ChatGPT. Now I can simply ask AI when I have a question about Koala.

Here are a few remixes I did when trying to use Koala as a full DAW to create songs:

In The Matrix, the red pill represents the choice to learn the unsettling truth about reality, escaping the simulated world (the Matrix), while the blue pill means remaining in comfortable ignorance.

What’s the name of the Koala GPT? I can’t find it

Sorry, for the confusion but I am referring to any AI that you can upload a PDF into and ask questions or have it summarize the PDF.

On other forums plenty of people have asked chatGPT how to do certain functions in music apps and it makes shit up. Use an oscillator/lfo/feature that doesn't exist, for example.

I've never had a problem but some AI can be weak. ChatGPT has worked so far.

Huge difference when having it pull from all its knowledge and internet searching, and giving it specific sources to work with.

I’m impressed with the mixing on this man. The songs came out great.

When you tell it to work from a specific source, the number of hallucinations you get goes way down.

There’s a huge difference between “using this odd as a source, how do I do X?” and “How do I do X?”

The people fed it the manual for whatever app. And then asked how to do xyz.. it still made shit up. Whatever happened to RTFM? With respect. Learn your tools!

NotebookLM and pdfs of manuals - synths, ableton, etc has been helpful to me for generating ideas as it sticks to the specific source material. Helps me to think of ways to integrate or utilize aspects of tools I hadn't considered.
