Show HN: Reviving my 2001 college band with AI

I've read the "how revival works" section, but still have no idea "how the revival works".

("We've used ai" is all I got from both this intro on HN and the we pages I read, though possible I missed some section.)

Can you share?

I.e. Did you take original audio recordings and run it though some audio chain that optimizes the mix and volumes? Did you put the sheets and lyrics into ableton and recreate the music? Did you feed audio files into chatgpt and prompt "make it better"? Something else?

In the interest of transparency, understanding what happened here will significantly guide my own emotional response :). I appreciate the details of 5 core principles, but spending so much time on principles without actual detail on what got done makes me skeptical and even cynical, which may not be the intent. For example, I personally distinguish between a raw photo, edited photo, composite image, and AI regenerated image, and one of the things I'm trying to understand is the path / traceability from human to final audio file.

Thx!

I want to be able to rap like Twista. If I use AI to change my voice and speed it up, it’s kinda fake.

Where’s the originality in that. I’ll never be *that good*, but I have fun doing it.

Now I guess using AI strictly for mastering is OK , but even then the results haven’t been good for me.

I think you nailed it here. The originality happened 25 years ago. That was fun! Then 25 years passed, life went on, and this project gave two old friends a reason to reconnect and see what the technology could do with our old songs. That was fun too!
