Salvatore Sorice Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I've mentioned this YouTube Channel (The Story Of Sound) in prior posts - definitely think it's worth a look. Anyway, this installment was very interesting... Comments? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alh16ySeHew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted Wednesday at 11:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:03 PM Math is cool. There is a term in computing called seeding for random numbers. You inject something... anything... and it helps get something different. It works both ways. Computers can inspire us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted Friday at 03:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:25 PM I have no issue with AI music as long as people don’t claim they created it. I’m not talking about AI tools for fixing stuff like noise or distortion. Those will be useful. Even AI background vocals could be ok. But having an idea and actually turning that idea into something by playing instruments will always matter to me versus asking software to do it all for you. Unfair? Many things in life are unfair. Like poisoning the AI databases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted Saturday at 03:54 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:54 AM (edited) We'd just gone through the song, when a voice was heard that broke over the humming tube amps... It was our drummer and sure enough, he had a brilliant suggestion to make. "That's genuinely stupid" I thought. But then again, what else can you expect from the drummer... Even though I did not utter word, every one in the room picked on it. Except the drummer of course. So I know how to deal with genuine stupidity, but not AI. Some people who are in the business of delivering a product can certainly find it useful. But that's a different mindset - one that I genuinely respect. I have been there. But for me - and this is going to sound stupid and corny - music is a little like personal growth, or a little like praying. Which is why I no longer care about delivering. Imagine you're on a plane that's about to crash - who would ask AI to communicate their last thoughts? Art is that to me. A chance to be absolutely real. That's also why I am convinced that drummers are really absolutely stupid. (Except Neil Peart, of course).

Bapu Posted Saturday at 05:18 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:18 AM Artists rip off others partial riffs, chord progressions and partial melodies, partial lyrics. Have for many years now. A site like suno.com will create something for you based on your (or just a story line, if you will) and your description of the style (hard rock, aggressive male voice etc.), you can even submit a snippet of your music to nudge it along. What you get back in the form of at least two somewhat different attempts can be used as "writers block" springboard. Sometimes an AI tool is just a tool (or a cigar 😄). My two shillings opinion.

Notes_Norton Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I remember copying other musicians when I was young. I learned licks from the pop stars of the day, I digested sheet music and music books, and learned record solos note for note. I listened to sax players, guitar players, vocalists, in a variety of genre, and internalized all that. The more I learned, the more I combined what I learned, until it was no longer recognizable as what influenced me, but was now my own. From what I read, AI seems to be on this journey. I'm glad I'm a live, gigging musician, because I don't think AI is going to replace me very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the real differentiator. Even before AI, I would typically bucket folks into "live" or "studio" (aka, post production) bins. DAWs just made post-production simpler and more accessible, and AI will streamline that process, but (good) live performance will always be at the top of the pecking order IMO. Shifting gears a bit... back in the day, a student that turned in a paper that seemed out of character could be checked for plagiarism (Google helped with that). AI tools just make that checking harder, and is not "creativity" but sheer indolence. Even lawyers have been caught doing this; turning in court documents that reference non-existent case files. Paying someone to be lazy goes well beyond my level of tolerance, but some instances even cross the line into legal ramifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
