I’m historically not into the Eagles, but a lot of people know that Frey, Henley, & co-writers would spend a long time writing. Not to mention, recording.
Henley did a recent interview reiterating that and that he ran into someone who proudly claimed he had used ai to write and record 50 + songs in a couple of weeks. Henley said his response to the guy was, “well, ok”.
My gig is legal ip stuff. I hope humans who use Suno etc understand that…any attempt to file an sr will be rejected by the copyright office.
As a Cubase user, I’m a strong advocate for its continued success and technological leadership. I’m particularly excited about the potential for Cubase to pioneer the integration of AI. Otherwise, competitors will eventually adopt this feature, making Cubase outdated, and I personally don’t want to see that happen.
AI generated lyrics, music, and video were fascinating for me the first day. The second day I was noticing disturbing similarities. After that I lost interest. Now when I accidently watch an AI video I become noticeably irritated. The missing humanity is glaring. But it has had a beneficial effect in making amateur poorly written mistaken-ridden recordings of yesteryear sound listenable and enjoyable. They sound like reality.
The Suno thing just doesn’t interest me at all. It’s like saying 30 years ago that Stock, Aitken and Waterman are the future of music!
But there probably is a role for AI in there somewhere. For me, I’d like it to provide mixing suggestions and critiques based on my own preferences. I don’t want it to suggest things like chord progressions, lyrics or melody ideas. That would strip away the fun and devalue it to the point of making it just like a video game!
What has been an interesting aspect of the “generative” AI Art/Music development is how much normal people have been disgusted with it and rejected it. Usually the average person doesn’t care. But this has not been accepted and is continuously called out.
With the advent of LLM’s that we have now (current technology), one of my main ideas for its use in complex systems should be first used to help solve the problem of bugs. Creating a streamlined system that can handle the whole process from reporting to helping developers with code would be one of the best use cases, IMHO.
This would create a positive feedback loop, in theory.
cheers
I think this is a losing proposition based on the way you’re wording it. If you want something that’s that easy then why pay for Cubase in the first place? How much could Steinberg charge for Cubase if that is the competition?
I’m not against including AI features in DAWs, but I think some care has to be taken regarding which features and how they’re implemented.
AI is ruining the music business. Some of the Spotify top plays are AI created which is not fair for artists trying to break into the music business. No I hate it with vengeance!
This may have been intentional trolling but it sure brought out a slightly winded poll on how the general musicianship responds.
If AI users have a hard time understanding creation:
Would you buy a guitar so someone else can play it?
Would you hand pick a cornucopia of fresh vegetables so you can go home and throw them into a blender?
Would you join a baseball league so someone else could play your position?
Would you like to sculpt a statue using some computerized/mechanized machinery?
Would you like AI to assign you your significant other?
There just are some things that create enjoyment by doing it yourself. It’s about transitioning your heart/thoughts/wishes to the rest of the world so they can experience “you”.
There’s one thing that makes the signature of a person … that’s ‘imperfection’. AI can’t do that.
