The tech is amazing, if it wasn't the comment section would be about how it's not good and not as melancholic as it is here. The melancholy is a testament to the capability.

Re: Google's advanced music generation model and two new AI experiments
#302In "Brave New World," all the music is made by machines. We are approaching that dystopia. For me, much of the pleasure in listening to music lies in appreciating the virtuosity of the musicians. It's like watching a great tennis player or a great dancer. You admire their skill and grace and technical mastery. For me, listening to music made by machines would be like watching robots playing tennis, or robots dancing.…
It's only a matter of time now before sports and other performance entertainment are replaced by generative AI.
How would sports and performance ent. be replaced by "generative AI"?

#303Michael Jackson was an excellent musician, who just happened to not play any instruments. He'd hum lines, beatbox rhythms to his band who'd then take his ideas and transform his ideas into instrumental music. Most people don't have access to the quality musicians MJ had, but there's a lot of creative people that lack the skills to create their artistic vision. Tech like this could be the unleashing of an age of new g…
The requirement to either pay a lot for or learn how to do mastering always seemed unnecessary to me.
Stuff like mixing, equalizing, sidechaining and eternal sample hunts all take a lot of time as well... It's why making music is one of the hobbies I had to let go.
Can't wait to get my hands on an AI powered DAW that skips all the tedious stuff!
Am I still the one making the music? Well, I'd argue the 300+ hours I'll probably sink into finetuning all the other stuff will say yes.

#304> 9 artists ... who have chosen to collaborate in this experiment and work with us to shape the future of AI in music
I really hope it's not google that drives the future of AI in music.

#305Why did they pick T-Pain for their demo, out of all the good musicians in the world?

#306The slander in this thread against Top 40 is depressing if not unexpected. The music sounds good, what's the problem? Musical elitism is one of the oldest of the modern tropes, and deserves no attention paid to it.

They will be if people let them.

#308The older I get, the more I appreciate craftsmanship. Applies to nearly everything. Lately, I’ve been sitting in a chair and listening to records - not doing anything else. There’s a connection to myself, the music and the artist that’s different than when I’m listening on Spotify with my AirPods on. To each their own (I mean that) but I do wonder sometimes…At some point, what’s the point?
Some of this generative AI stuff is going to raise some interesting questions. Right now a lot of it is rough around the edges and distinctly inhuman. However, I do believe that even if we're not entirely on the right track, there's not much reason to believe a machine can't do human-like things as well as humans with enough computational power. Here's my guess: I think that this stuff will continue to iterate until…
Some time ago, far, far away, a human species became so enamored with their automatons that the entire world was essentially under the spell of their own creation. They became enchanted with their illusion, becoming their own disillusion. No one realizing the veil overmind glooming and looming. Reflections linger, memory pays mind to neither. Eager to discover what’s real, but the reel keeps playing what’s surreal.
What’s it matter, if the mind can’t tell either from aether. Samsara, no Abraham’s Sara, abra-cadabra, open sesame, oh well, stuck in the loop, but who cares, we’re in this together so I’ll take either. Some say Samuel paved the way, eat the apple, it’ll be fine they say.

While the mixing process is certainly a frustrating one, it’s also the part I’m most addicted to. I mix something almost every day, whether it’s my own work or other multitracks “acquired” from the internet. It’s so much fun working backwards on a song I’m familiar with and going “ok, how the hell did they make the kick sound like that?!” and figuring it out :)

#310This is cool, I'm sure people will use this responsibly and not take advantage of this.
