# Smart Presets System

ToneForge's AI-powered Smart Presets system automatically analyzes your playing style and suggests optimal effect configurations in real-time.

## 🧠 Overview

The Smart Presets system uses advanced audio analysis and machine learning to understand your musical style and automatically recommend the perfect effect settings. Whether you're playing rock, jazz, blues, metal, or acoustic, the system learns from your playing patterns and provides intelligent suggestions.

## 🎯 How It Works

### Real-Time Analysis
The system continuously monitors your playing through the Audio Analyzer, analyzing:
- **Frequency patterns**: Low, mid, and high frequency content
- **Dynamic range**: RMS levels, peak levels, and average levels
- **Playing technique**: Attack, sustain, and playing intensity
- **Musical context**: Tempo, rhythm patterns, and harmonic content

### Style Detection
The AI identifies your playing style by comparing your audio characteristics to known patterns:

#### Rock Style
