This looks interesting, seems to combine a lot of existing concepts that AI tools exist for into one. I'm mostly intrigued by the generation of individual SFX and drums, but I also notice "AI mixing and stem export" in the Pro plan. How customizable are the "AI mixing" features, especially in comparison to other AI mastering/mixing tools out there?

This is a really cool idea. There's so much great music out there that doesn't get the recognition it deserves, so I'm happy to see this. For feedback, and this might just be on my end, but the genres at the top of the website (Jazz, Electronic, etc.) aren't directing me to any new page. Same issue when I try to search a genre in the searchbar.

This article makes a good point about retro games using less overstimulating graphics, but an equally important factor is how games handle interruptions. In retro Pokémon games, exploring a route almost guarantees wild encounters that interrupt your progression.

This contrasts with doomscrolling on social media, which offers constant access to exactly what you want, whenever you want it. Pokémon, by design, delays gratification by introducing obstacles that slow progress (something players understand and accept as part of the experience).

These interruptions also create new opportunities: wild encounters introduce new Pokémon, and trainer battles encourage new strategies. If success was given without interruption, there would be little reason to keep playing, and winning would feel unearned. While the article states imagination as a benefit of games, I think interruption is a key distinction between gaming and doomscrolling that's worth mentioning explicitly.

This feels especially applicable to musical therapy. It could even be integrated with existing AI playlist-building tools to create an ideal playlist for any situation.

This is really cool. It’s great seeing skill and passion come together to revive a tool that communities care about, especially when creators listen to feedback and make it better than before. I’ll be sharing this with a few friends who are into gaming. Appreciate the work you’ve put into this.
