Hello,
So I had an idea to jump on the ai bandwagon and implement an ai task assistant within Cubase and Nuendo. That can basically just do all of the tasks that are receptive such as:
Applying plugins across multiple channels
Renaming
Crossed fades
Deleting empty space.
Or really anything you can do within Cubase just tell the ai to accomplish it.
Basically would be cool to be able to tell al little text ai assistant to do such tasks as:
Crossfade all vocal takes that I’m currently using and delete all takes that aren’t being used.
Rename all takes for the track “Daniel Vocals” to daniel-1 daniel-2 and so on. And then delete all muted takes, and bounce all crossfaded takes, then after you’re done delete the excess files created and backup the project as project-backup-2 (or something)
or
Apply the compression from project 2 to the project I’m currently working on.
or even
Make the drums sounds similar to the mix I have in project x.
or even
generate some midi fills for the drum track 1.
or even
Unify all projects in the project folder “x” go through and rename all drum tracks to be the same, apply all plugins and bus structure, and master bus, and make a new folder to all of the new unified projects in called folder “y”
or even cooler
watch how I export my projects and store what I do as a template for export, and follow my naming scheme and do this for projects 1,2,3…
(the idea being almost an automation record function.)
or even crazier
Take the histogram of this current mix file I have, and deduce from the list of plugins that I have (presuming the ai has learned the noise profiles of each plugin in your catalogue) and apply the drum sound from this file to the 12 tracks listed. ( A mix assistant is obviously way future, but a cool idea)
This isn’t a too far off concept since you can easily implement the ChatGpt command line to learn from lists of software tasks and have it repeat them.
It would probably need to be a paid service. But an ai assistant to complete all of the menial things I’d rather not do within a DAW would be an excellent usage of ai.
Granted this would require some high level permissions of the OS but I imagine most tasks could be accomplished within the application themselves and basically just take over the input devices temporarily.
Obviously a rollback feature would be necessary. To dial any off the rail changes back. But I think for the most part it could be very straight forward. Since most of the tasks needed to accomplish in a DAW are not difficult they are just near constant and repetitive to one’s workflow.
With the ability to have it record your regular tasks and make and suggest common AI presets for you that could simply be selected. Having it learn from a snapshot of your behavior would be really cool.
Just thinking out loud.
