## Session Description
Do you ever wonder What the next evolution of live performances will look like? I do all the time. Come experience what happens when you combine live guitar playing with DSP as well as TTS and other models, all running locally. Prepare to be entertained and get familiar with new possibilities that modern tools open up in the audio and digital signal processing space while you enjoy a live performance on top of an informative slide presentation. Walk away from this talk inspired to help build the next evolution of options for musicians and live performances. We will touch on building with tools such as classic DSP, JUCE, TTS, STT, pitch detection with YIN, llama 3 and more with an emphasis of running it all locally on device! You might even get a chance to have a conversation with a guitar!
