maybe danceclubs could have a webcam to the AI for it to gauge the reaction of the crowd to a particular sample.

the first nights just monitor djs and then it can learn to be it's own dj. but I think in a way it could only come up with similar styles.

Interesting 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.

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

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.

We were discussing dark vs light themes at the office and the general conclusion is that dark is in fashion, no logical reason.

I use a light theme because I get a lot of light in the afternoon (even with curtains closed) and the glossy mac monitor turns into a mirror with a dark theme.

This 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/manipulate them to get that more custom sound. I went through the "Pro" tutorial and this wasn't an option.

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.

Everything I use a lot has a dark theme - it's easier on my eyes. That includes websites, thanks to Stylish.
