Show HN: Cloning a musical instrument from 16 seconds of audio 14 by abdljasser2 | 1 comments In 2020, Magenta released DDSP [1], a machine learning algorithm / python library which made it possible to generate good sounding instrument synthesizers from about 6-10 minutes of data. While working with DDSP for a project, we realised how it was actually quite hard to find 6-10 minute of clean recordings of monophonic instruments. In this project, we have combined the DDSP architecture with a domain adaptation technique from speech synthesis [2]. This domain adaptation technique works by pre-training our model on many different recordings from the Solos dataset [3] first and then fine-tuning parts of the model to the new recording. This allows us to produce decent sounding instrument synthesisers from as little as 16 seconds of target audio instead of 6-10 minutes.

Launch HN: Anja Health (YC W22) – Freezing stem cells at birth for future health 45 by pkukp9 | 27 comments Hi HN, My name is Kathryn Cross, and I’m the founder of Anja Health ( https://anjahealth.com/ ). We help pregnant parents freeze their baby’s umbilical cord and placenta at birth, in order to save stem cells in case they're needed in the future. “Anja” refers to my brother Andrew. When I was 3 and Andrew was 1, he was in a near-drowning accident that gave him cerebral palsy. My parents immediately began searching for a way to help his condition, and the most promising thing they could find was umbilical cord blood stem cells, which have been shown to improve motor and social skills in children with cerebral palsy. However, we couldn't find a match because matching happens via ethnicity (at a high level), and my brother and I are mixed race. So, lack of access to cord blood stem cells is a pain point that my family knows deeply, and I felt it the most this past year when ...
