Even before machine learning people figured out the chord pattern of most popular songs. You can probably program it use those 4 chords.

Re: Amper raises $4M to use AI to write music
#13This looks promising. Having spent many years editing stock music for video we'd spend considerable time not only finding the right mood/genre but also editing the track to make it seem like it was "composed" specifically for the video. So, I think this solution only addresses half the problem. What would be better is if you could download the individual tracks to import into a DAW where you could further edit/manipu…
So you'd want them in STEMs essentially right? I'm not a huge fan of the format package that DJs have sometimes used, but do understand what the legacy term means. Having one track for drums, keys, ambience, etc. That could be helpful from a tweaking / editing / fitting angle maybe?

Kidding aside, this looks useful for a specific audience and in a price point consideration that hopefully gets traction. I've been fond of royalty-free stuff via purchase / service for a long time, it's a great platform. Will be a good one to keep an eye on!
Re: Amper raises $4M to use AI to write music
#15Interesting coincidence. Just today I was thinking about when AI would be able to generate music for in Clubs (which are mixes of other songs / sound-effects). I wonder how this will turn out. I did like the sound sample at the bottom.
It's extremely formulaic by design so I think that it's maybe not that far off.
As a 'traditional musician' (i.e. I play a couple of instruments, read music, jam and write songs with real humans etc), I used to think this way, however actual 'good' club music takes a lot of time to produce in terms of selection and mixing and mastering of sounds. A friend of mine, who is a talented performer and producer, deconstructed some of these tracks for me, and pointed out just how much effort and talent it takes to produce good pop / dance / club sounds. So while on the surface it would seem possible to do something passable 'automatically', I am actually not too sure how good it would sounds, especially to audiences used to hearing the best that most talented humans can come up with. Allow me to coin the phrase 'club muzak' for what early AI 'composers' will produce (although I bet then that these 2017 'club muzak' will become all the rage again across the solar system in the late 2050s')!

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
Easier on the eyes. When working with media you tend to stare at details for long periods of time, a dark theme makes the UI non-distracting.
Everything I use a lot has a dark theme - it's easier on my eyes. That includes websites, thanks to Stylish.
+1 for stylish

#17We can't automate filling out Excel spreadsheets, but investing 4 million dollars in automating music creation. Meanwhile there are plenty of CC-licensed tracks and plenty of aspiring composers/producers who would gladly work on creating tracks for "commercials or short online videos" for very reasonable price.

so would you like some kind of tool within the timeline of the video in order to express things? Like some way to specify the a value corresponding to a dimension of the mood? What else would be useful? Perhaps a way to place a crescendo or a bridge? Would an option to do a MIDI export be useful? I have no dogs in this fight, just curious.

I think the question is of quality. Many people can make music, and anyone can automate making noise, but automating making music, good music, is something that's hard to do, and has a huge market.
One can hope that one day we'll be autogenerating music based on individual preferences in a way that every piece you hear is a unique arrangement.

#20Do anyone know why music, video or basically media service|app have the dark theme like PS, LR, Premiere Pro, Final Cut etc. ?
They work at night
