AI And Music Creation

[MaxPower]

Wow that’s bad !

They must have fed my music into the learning machine first 🙂

AI is transforming music creation by offering innovative tools for songwriters and producers. With platforms like audiomodify.com, you can easily experiment with music and bring your creative visions to life!

Wow!!! Go figure. All this time I’ve been experimenting and bringing my music and creative visions to life with hard work, my fingers and my soul. Brave new world!!!

This topic was published in April of 2023 and a lot has changed since then. I still think AI can be a useful tool. As an example:

I’ve never been much of a singer but decided I had some tracks that I wanted to put my voice on. I haven’t sung since the early 80s but recently decided my 84 year old voice was not what it once was.

Because I’m a digital hoarder and have all of my project files from that time, I decided to use my 40 year old voice on tracks I had lying around. Through the years I have transferred my 8, 16 and 24 track projects to ADAT and finally to my DAW (Cakewalk). I took all my vocals from 40 years ago, stripped out the dead air, combined them into one track, Melodyned (tuned) them and created a dataset of my 40 year old voice on Kits.ai. I then sang the tracks, as best I could, tweaked the pitch, uploaded them back into Kits and used my dataset to create new vocals. Downloaded the vocals, tweaked them a bit more with Melodyne and also created harmony parts and voila! Works a treat.

I also had a track where I could not find the project files and I wanted to be able to put my voice on it. I was able to create stems from the mix and it was workable enough to be able to do just that. Eventually I found the project files so I did not have to go that route.

The point is, I feel I have just scratched the surface of useful things I can do with AI.

Hey Art
A lot of libraries specifically say they won’t sign anything if AI is used to generate any tracks. I don’t know if that includes doing your own singing and having the voice changed with AI. It could be problematic. How do we know the voice they use isn’t a rip off of (or too close to) some artist’s voice? Or too much the same as a lot of other tracks? I’d tread carefully.

@Advice. The dataset was created with my voice and the end result is it sounds like me from that time. I don’t currently plan to use these for production music, just streaming. Then again, this is new territory that’s constantly evolving.

I don’t think those of us that are working in music for a living are going to get excited about “AI-DRIVEN music” as you are mentioning.

[Art Munson]

@yzzman1: Yes, I agree. He was just promoting some bogus AI site. I deleted his comment.

I recently tried mastering a track using AI and was able to use a reference track. Actually came out pretty good. I use Ozone 11 and have been using all iterations of Ozone since version 4. Not sure I would abandon Ozone at this point but I was surprised how decent it sounded.
