What you want is a plain old music generator app. Search for "generative music". Drop the Ai, it's overkill. Also with the amazing tech these days anyone can be a musician. It's basically push-botton. Bloom on the iOs app store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bloom/id292792586 Someone's cloned Bloom: https://github.com/generative-music/blossom Wotja too maybe.

And this is why it's getting harder and harder to find decent electronic music that doesn't sound like a chimp threw its shit at a wall; because some wanna-be with no musical skill can download a few loops, layer them up in their cracked FL Studio (or whatever) and over-compress the shit out of it for their "mastering". imo…

I think there's just more noise tbh. The overall output of good music is without a doubt much higher without the 5k barrier to entry - you just have to search harder to find it

Code parade made a pretty good music generator that is to your specifications https://youtu.be/l-ZZ8dkJVOI And yes, it is true AI.

The quality of music in their YouTube videos is pretty awful. Do they have better samples suitable as video soundtracks?

The red herring here is AI. I believe most everything you’re trying to accomplish can be done using a popular and longstanding application called Band in a Box, from a company called PG Music.

You should be able to download the software and generate it yourself!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What if a client does not like the result?

We deliver a demo first. Clients can then request any changes before we lock it in as final. Clients can also send links to music they like and we try to achieve a similar sound. It's a good point though - we work on a small scale now. We haven't thought through all the details once we start taking new clients. One free revision seems like our most likely approach.

If you have to employ composers, why do you need AI? I’m guessing you can hire 3 composers for the salary of a single ML engineer.

Is there anything that can generate music for in the style of a particular musician? It would be cool to generate a clip that sounds like a particular artist or band that convincingly sounds like them jamming / working on a new song, but it's actually some made up AI generated song.

I prefer listening to some samples before I install anything. Have you generated anything good with their software?

Thank you for sending me down this rabbit hole.

Eno's Teropa site is amazing, and I've played with the generative drum machine for hours.

I recommend people start at the beginning, you progress with space bar. https://teropa.info/loop/

This[0] is not a music generator, but a very handy tool for music makers. It extracts vocals and/or produces a karaoke version of a song. It claims it is using AI and I suppose it does so because the results are astonishingly good. It's not just the removal of the "center" channel which most vocal removers are doing. It literally pulls the vocal track out of the mix like magic.

Shameless self-plug, I maintain a Spotify playlist that is optimized for getting me into "Flow." I use it for coding/thinking. It has 677 tracks so far. See here: https://whoami.sh/thought/flow-playlist https://brain.fm/ also has some good stuff. Some of it is tailored for focusing and works pretty well as coding music. I believe their stuff is AI-generated.

Dude, even though it was a bit off topic, I have been listening to this playlist for around an hour and I'm pretty stoked on it! Thanks! Funny, I already had quite a few of these songs in a playlist of my own :) Great stuff.
