This is why fully improvised music is going to become more important than ever

Always on point, Justin!

I agree, just started using it in April and find it has utility and versatility in mixing a song in a way you couldn't a few years ago. Using it to enhance your own vocal for background harmonies instead of stacking or trying to teach another singer how you want it. I also write songs that aren't meant for my voice, so I can use this to get it to sound similar to what I want in order to find the ideal singer more effectively. And getting some instruments in the track that you can't play but will now work with a hum or a guitar line is cool, can possibly find some inventive sounds, too. I'm not on board with out and out creating a complete song using AI, just telling it your lyrics or a title only and having it write something, maybe a lyricist that can't play instruments can do that.

On the bright side, all this technology could be used as tools to create some of the GREATEST music ever.

This is a great subject, Justin.Exponential jumps in technology !

I went down this Rabbit Hole a few years back when I was checking out Lyrebird. I began leaning toward VOCALOID. This looks like another alternative worthy of checking out. I have my reasons for checking this out. None of which are meant to replace Human talent, rather better communicate my ideas to achieve the finished product! 😉

I can`t wait to go to a concert and see a guy (a famous guy) push "THE" button!

Synthesizer V right in the DAW, man. The newer voice packs have a dozen curves to sculpt the performance - breathiness, power, falsetto, etc... separate aspiration tracks. For composer-producers with piano roll skills I think the results blow everything else away.

I'm stoked to try this! Thank you so much for covering this, Justin!

I thought of the song Afternoon Delite when you said this can be used to do multiple background vocals in different timbres, and then The Eagles ect. This sounds very cool to me. I'm not a very good singer but this could help me translate some of my songs to the people I know who are. I write & record a lot of stuff but it usually has no vocals. I'll check this out. I think this might help me get some ideas across a lot better. Cheers Y/All.

Came into this not expecting to be sold at all. But wow. The stacked vocal thing is a legitimate issue. I love stacking vocals, but my tone is so thick that it can get crowded. So interested to look into it

A singing violin or saxophone is very cool… what is the output resolution, can it do 96k 32 bit?

the ace studio ai looks pretty cool. you can change pitch like you do in melodyne. change language to chinese,japanese ect. make midi notes then type words in the blocks,or sing and change voice like audimee. i'm not sure wich one i want to try.

I own and use Synthesizer V for my vocalist needs (all original songs). I probably will never use AI vocalists in my own songs, for this reason (or reasons): If I use a famous dead celebrity's voice in my original song, the copyright and legal complications aside, anyone who hears my song will associate it with that celebrity. My ego will not allow that - a dead singer getting all my press for my original music. lol I may experiment with Ian Curtis (if I can find one) or Bob Marley for grins and giggles, but I don't think I'll ever put anything of mine out with those voices.

Justin, I can legally use the royalty AI models on my music productions correct? Because these AI models are made from people who agreed to work with Audimee? Correct?

the end is near.... ala terminator movies style... you think this is innocent?...

Some people make the mistake like they did for things like NFTs of assuming that some things are here to stay or inevitable even if they represent a regression or a downgrade for most people while allowing a tiny minority to profit from it . Technologies like that when used for other things than music : potentially flawless deepfakes for example are a literal threat to our democracies . AI isn't something like drum machines that scared drummers , it will disrupt a lot of things in a lot of fields over the course of a very small period of time and I don't see a transition being easy or even peaceful .

Super duper depressing

a complete session of rationalizing why something pointless has a point?

Quite convincing voices. They still seem to lack some texture of real singing voices and sound too smooth / lifeless to me. I’ve heard an edm song recently with AI female singing that was very catchy, and a quite convincing voice, although was drenched in reverb probably to cover up the AI timbre

Funny how whenever I try to find an AI singer, computer says no. I don't seen want a famous voice. I just wanna specify the key, specify the bpm and specify the relevant chords and notes. Until then, it's still science fiction and YT Content creators clickbaiting. Notice when he says "here is the sax" and nothing comes out.

I can't really think of anything more boring than AI vocals, or AI music in general. I think creators are immensely overhyping AI music in general for KZfaq fame. In fact you might even be paid by Audimee, Justin. I just can not see the point, and I've never ever thought any AI generated music sounds interesting. And I have done research and have heard a lot of it. It can in the best case lead to something kind of credible that doesn't immediately fall on its face (compared to other commercial pop music that is!), or you can achieve some nice gimmicks with it like Cash doing Barbie girl, yea. Or for anyone with trained ears and good monitors: a painfully bad and ridiculous synthetization of Johnny Cash's beloved voice. Anyone believing in this kind of AI music stuff is one that sees music as a product. A product you can make to have it streamed and sold for money. I have typed the same kind of idea under maybe hundreds of youtube video's about AI: commercially successful music, hit music, radio music, top spotify streams... have been AI generated for the past 25 or so years. Not literally, but it has been done by humans working exactly like an AI. The next iteration of the same idea. The same sound, the same kind of hook, the same sort of melodies and harmonies. It has been a formula since the late 90's and is only become more so. The next snack that the industry moguls can shove up your @ss. Oh yes, AI is perfectly capable of that. I see music very differently. For me, the commercial aspect of music comes after all of the rest. I see music as energy and communication. As an extension of thought, as a way to evoke the wordless. Another language. A sample of the time and context it was created in in combination with the world in the head of the creator. A tough of magic in the real world. Music lives through character, identity, risk, growth, inspiration, improvisation, flow, focus, love, hate, distress, joy... Music is the polar opposite of computer thinking. If I think of all the music of the past 500 years (from vocal renaissance by J. Arcadelt all the way up to nowadays' good stuff), I can't help but see how idiot and meager and flat and lifeless AI generated music sounds. BOY is AI vocals and AI music far away from inspiration, character and all that sort of stuff. And that has nothing to do with it still being a young technology, that is the essence of how AI works. Go pick up an instrument, start singing, learn theory and go make music with your friends, you bunch of halfwitted morons. You do not understand what music is

It's not them doing a cover, rather a fake out of trying to duplicate. But AI has no soul. A lawsuit ready to happen. All is ethical umbridge issues. And why is this legal?
