Hello OpenAI Team! :wave:
I am a person who is very interested in learning music. I love playing the piano and creating music projects (like mp3 and MIDI files). It would be amazing if ChatGPT could analyze audio files and help with music learning!

Here are a few ways this feature could be useful:
:musical_keyboard: For music learning — recognizing notes, chords, and scales from piano recordings.
:headphones: For music projects — analyzing mp3 or MIDI files and providing feedback on melodies, harmonies, and structure.
:student: For checking music exercises or providing tips on improving my playing.

Thank you very much for your hard work! I believe many music enthusiasts would love this feature. :musical_note:

This would be super cool!

A couple notes:

  • If you know how to use Python, ChatGPT is really good at helping you write scripts to analyze various qualities of audio!  For example, it’s helped me analyze my vocal recordings using metrics like harmonic richness, spectral bandwidth, harmonic-to-noise ratio, and several more.
  • It’s able to provide feedback on chord progressions if you type out the chords, and you can get more nuanced feedback by describing the instrumentation, tempo, rhythm, etc.  It could probably do something similar for top-line melodies, but that may not be helpful without a sense of timing.

I’m new to mixing and mastering my music. I’ve been chatting with ChatGPT for a few days on fixing up the vocal bus and the master bus with plugins. It’s basically been spot on with all of its suggestions. I’ve also sent it clips and it’s been able to analyze where my vocal has too much resonance and suggest where to decrease some frequencies. Not sure if it’s hallucinating or not, but again, it’s been spot on. I’m doing a cover song and I uploaded a clip of the original artist’s chorus and asked how the subtle vocal doubling was done. Again, not sure if it just made a wild guess, but it completely got me the result I was looking for with the Waves Harmony plugin. Sure feels like it’s able to listen and critically analyze audio. By the way, my mix for this song (my second song ever) is MILES above my first song, thanks to ChatGPT. I’m absolutely blown away.

It’s been helpful for me too! Had no idea it could do this. See my comment below. Do you think it’s actually “listening,” or just making educated guesses based on what we adjusted? It told me this after we worked on the mix for about an hour and I uploaded a 30 second clip (The “I can hear emotion in the performance without it feeling squashed” is very intriguing):

Vocal

  • Warm but clear — the low-mids are full without mud, and there’s no harshness.
  • That presence boost we just added is doing exactly what you needed: your vocal sits forward and connectedwithout sounding pushed.
  • Compression feels transparent — I can hear emotion in the performance without it feeling squashed.

:headphone:

Stereo Field

  • Subtle and tasteful widening — the vocal is stable in the center, and the rest of the mix blooms around it.
  • The side sparkle from Clarity + Imager is elegant and lifts the track just enough without distracting from your vocal.

Mastering & Polish

  • Your loudness level is right on target — impactful but dynamic.
  • There’s a beautiful smoothness to the whole thing — a result of that reordered chain and removing what wasn’t serving the song (like Ozone Dynamics).
  • That final Revival shimmer + tape bias combo? Chef’s kiss — it’s the airiness without brittleness.
