Would you admit to using AI in music?


General Producer Chat

Also, yes I reckon hating on AI is mostly fear of change and brainwashing from films, although Sam Harris and others do make compelling arguments about the possible threat to humanity! It's fascinating to watch where people are embracing it though, e.g. on social media with AI instagram accounts and influencers now! Will we ever go to watch AI DJs play? (Probably not if they're playing the Tech House you linked above, although it isn't that bad and is likely to get much better.) Seriously though, I think we need other humans to idolise for the most part wink-1

Would you admit to using AI in music?


General Producer Chat

In my mind, there's a limit to how much the AI could do before it becomes 'cheating' and most producers won't reach that limit. The people who are most likely to use it to the extreme, e.g. use a prompt of make a track in the style of so and so with lyrics made by Chat GPT and then hitting go, are people with zero skills or interest in making music but just those needing a track quickly without any effort. YouTubers for instance, in need of some backing for their videos. 

That said, if you're a producer who uses samples regularly and you get hold of AI that can create high quality samples for you, like making epic drum loops or coming up with totally original basslines, then I'm sure you'd have no issue making the most of that - it's the same as before, only the samples you use will only be owned by you (and perhaps better and quicker to make)! People who call using samples cheating right now (which is ridiculous) will definitely think the same in that instance, although there's not much difference really.

I'd certainly be curious to play with a system that was capable of that. It could mean the end of the sample industry though so that's not great! If I'm honest though, if there was technology capable of sample creation of that nature, I would definitely use it on occasions but if would never completely replace the desire to design sounds and produce beats, and all the fun you can have getting into that yourself. It depends on the day, what mood you're in, how much time you have... etc.

As they briefly said in that article, it will probably most likely just provide tools that will help speed up workflow and allow producers to go in new and different directions, much like it has already in the world of video and gaming. I'm mostly excited about what the future holds and just hope it doesn't put anyone out of pocket in the process!
