Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this kind of question, my options on Lemmy are kind of limited.

I play around a lot with experimental types of music and have been using a series of poly-rythm soundscapes that I have created for sleep aid. A couple of friends tried out the stuff I created and said it was amazing for sleep and relaxation.

This gave me the idea for an app that created the poly-rythm soundscapes using simple(ish) formulas that allowed the user to change the scale, scale mode, duration, ambient effects, and poly-meter type to suit their preferences.

I am currently injured and am on disability so have all time and boredom in the world to throw into this project.

My entire programming experience was a single semester of Visual Basic in 2003.

Where would I begin to bring something like this into existence? Thanks in advance.

    ChatGPT should be plenty good for any foundational questions you have. And asking “how could I improve this code” with a code snippet can give you insight into better ways to do things. If you ask it for broad responses like “write me an app for relaxation sounds”, I can guarantee that it won’t work, but using it alongside a tutorial when you have questions or get an error can save so much time.
