       | 
       | Also, there are some very cool ML topics in the frequency domain.
       | For example - in the past years there's been a small revolution
       | in the guitar / bass / etc. industry where simulators offer quite
       | realistic sounding amps/speakers sounds.
       | 
       | Back in the day, these simulators were just carefully crafted
       | filters that would emulate the response of said amps, speakers,
       | room/ambience, etc. but with the advent of more powerful DSP, it
       | is now possible to sort of "extract" these features on the fly -
       | some of these products do indeed use ML/DL algorithms in their
       | core. In the end, the goal is to profile the environment, and
       | create some complex filter / function that matches the response.
       | Which is one thing Neural Networks can do quite well
       | (approximating functions).
