But that’s in a commercial setting, this is during a musical performance. The audience was not tricked into showing up to an Eminem performance and were not tricked into thinking that Eminem was on stage at any point. This is protected speech.

> This is protected speech According to a quick google search, even cover bands performing live are required to pay royalties to the original artists whose songs they're performing. Maybe there's some loophole when using an artist's likeness while changing the actual music and lyrics, I don't know. But "protected speech" isn't meant to be a way to make money off of other people's work. Curious what part of "Midler v.…

You’re thinking about this wrong.

Do I need to ask permission to impersonate Eminem during a comedy performance? How about during a musical performance?

The answer is no. This is fair use 101.

If you cover a song of his while doing an impersonation then this is covered by the performance fees the venue you’re playing at pays every year to ASCAP and BMI.

You could use https://vocalremover.org/ to remove music. I've used it for sampling speech out of tv programmes with background audio and the results are immense.

Whoa, tried https://vocalremover.org/splitter-ai on a couple tracks and it sounds better than Spleeter, Demucs and Serato. What model do they use?

koala sampler (app for android and ios) works well for that too.

It seems similar to the DJ process though, right? Their creation process involves sampling, mixing, curating, etc. so the novelty is in figuring it out and getting it to work with his set. I’m sure the first person to release a rap record felt proud even though they were copying lots of people who were rapping on the street. The novelty here is being the first dj to do this for his crowd, not that he invented the pro…

I mean.. there’s a reason that others haven’t really done this as far as I know and that he only used a tiny sample for a couple seconds: the output from AI voice generation generally has a ton of artifacts and isn’t something you’d want to play on a festival sized sound system for more than a few seconds. So he basically did the only acceptable thing I’d consider doing with this and.. it’s just not that interesting?

It’s certainly your prerogative to not find it interesting and your feelings are valid.

However, I think it’s interesting and can’t wait to see more djs and even new artists using this technique to create some neat art. And of course, it looks like there are tens of thousands of fans in that stadium who seemed kind of interesting.

I don’t think statistical sanity is a good measure for value, especially art, but I don’t think it’s noteworthy that you don’t find it interesting.

Nobody listens to techno!

Last time I checked, David Guetta was not producing techno. Eventually he spends most of his time with his arm in the air so calling him a dj is a huge stretch too.

The comment you’re replying to is an Eminem lyric; it’s a joke.
