new demo for the '123' video. still just trying things out. I was saving this disco ball for other projects but realized it was perfect for this. C4D and AE.

Can you imagine how hollow it would feel to have AI make your music? You'll never feel accomplished. It's how we're built, we can't lie to ourselves. And there's also another thing about humanity, nobody gets away with anything. Sooner or later, whether you're a graphic designer or musician, once your peers find out you lied about how you developed your work, you will be canceled.
- drake has ghostwriters, millions of dollars, and just got exposed by kdot. jobs didn't build anything, musk doesn't know how to build anything.imbecile
- music is a product to be sold to most people. as much as an art as it is, it has been heavily commodified.imbecile
- Difficult to take any pride in someone (something) else's work. imo music only needs to be sold to yourself, let's get real, even the top artists make naff now.prophetone
- Drake's a performer, which is fine, good for him, but pushing artistic, musical boundaries he is not.prophetone
- Old news I guess.prophetone
- my point was canoe's sentiment is personal as a musician,. one that is not shared by those who seek to profit from "soulless" musicimbecile

Canoe, it all depends on HOW you use and disclose the use of AI.
Use AI as THE way to create music, art, literature and trying to pass it off as your own work, then yes you're a fraud if you DON'T disclose such.
If you DO disclose such and are completely open about it and your fans/collectors know this and still like the work then you're not defrauding anyone. Where is the problem? Other than your own integrity as an artist to yourself haha.
Or you use AI as PART of a creative process...
Being 20+ years as a designer I am familiar to using stock photo libraries, contracting freelance photographers/illustrators/copyw... to help me achieve my goal to a high standard. And that's the way I use AI in my art and music - like an assistant / freelancer. I see it as being a way to hold onto your integrity as an artist and creator whilst using AI. I have to still put in a lot of time planning, crafting a brief, creative direction, artworking etc.
When it comes to music production for soundtracks for art I've done some that are just pure audio outputs. But for others I've prompted ai for specific individual sounds - bassdrum, hats, synth melody, spoken word samples then compiled everything in Ableton live.
This is like using AI as a custom sample library.I'm keen to try using Udio to be a virtual crate for digging. Prompting it to generate jazz, soul, funk etc loops or tracks. And use them in a traditional sense of sampling.
Or even split the stems in Logic/Koala and sample individual stems for use in hiphop/triphop tracks.
In doing this I'd be working with great tracks/loops/hooks with inspiration taken from the best musicians, tracks, breaks to generate royalty free samples.- How far should disclosure of the use of 'AI' extend? Should artists be disclosing if they used the 'House Drumbeat Generator'...microkorg
- plugin for Ableton Live as part of their creative process?
Or if they used the 'assistants' now available in Logic?microkorg - most producers hire musicians and generatively create tracks. the musicians rarely get a 'writing' credit - i've had tracks formed around loops i've played,kingsteven
- then later in the process the part re-recorded and not received any credit at all. or singers take my bassline as vocal melody then i'm forced to write anotherkingsteven
- bassline... and as much as i'd like a small credit I realise that it's part of the process. and not really what song writing/ performance credits are for.kingsteven
- seems daft to even consider crediting AI - but may shift tastes toward producers who are transparent about their process - tbh i think that's already the case.kingsteven
- bbl drizzy uses an ai generated lyric sampled from a comedian. it is the core of a $10k competitionimbecile
- its a slippery slope tho.. at what point is anything your own. like I use random sequencers and stochastic cv generators all the time, that's kind of the sameautoflavour
- like I know what you talking about re AI just being lame, and it totally is.. but at the same time there is no way I could/would do stupid dangermeat.com stuffautoflavour
- if I had to sit there and photoshop it all together. that said im not trying to pretend im am.. its clearly AI but its more about pushing the boundaryautoflavour

GAS got me, i got one on the way. Been playing with my OG Polyend Tracker again and forgot how much i love / miss making music in a tracker environment

- had an impulse purchase moment.. picked up a 15inch 1100w powered PA speaker.. have an upcoming beatreatreat and am sick of the monitoring situation alwaysautoflavour
- being the weakest link.. table full of hardware and shitty speakers doesnt cut it anymore. sure its only mono, but at 1100w, who fucking caresautoflavour
- and 15inch speaker, the low end is hefty.autoflavour
- woooah, that'll be like playing a full blown gig to yourselves! Bet they sound nice. I have some HS5s but not sure what a Yamaha PA would be likeIanbolton
- Surprised they don’t go below 49hz with that big 15”mort_
- It’s a PA not monitors, so below 49 is irrelevant for most applicationsautoflavour
- We are recording into a tascam 24 multitrack mixer, so anything we miss we can deal with in postautoflavour
- My HS80 only go down to 42hz, so not a huge differenceautoflavour
- autoflavour6
like aint no fucking around.. especially compared to the 50w 5inch KRK monitors we had last time.. these are going to crush.
- omg epic!!!!mantrakid
- What wattage are we talking here?garbage
- Alton Brown is your roadie?stoplying
- lol @ Alton Brown... making "beets"PonyBoy
- 1100w.. which compared to my 120watt Yamaha HS80’s is a monsterautoflavour
- Lolz @PonyBoy!ideaist
- And yes. Alton loves to handle my junkautoflavour
- That was close to my guess. Any gear with handles.. one can assume the bombs are coming.garbage
- Those come with earplugs?Ramanisky2
- No, just going to Gaffa tape them to my headautoflavour
- ^ good manRamanisky2

Did a test last night in the studio of the PA.. it’s so loud.. my entire studio was rattling at full volume and my kid came from 3 rooms away and told me it was too loud.. we live in a old home with double brick on every wall.. that’s 8 bricks deep

Someone shared a drum pad app for iOS some time ago and mentioned he would have fun with his kids with it.
I used it too but somehow it's not in my apps list (got a new iPad).
It went like Ziggy or something with Z or maybe not.
