AI Myths Debunked !

[@JoeySokol]

This is pretty cool. Thanks for explaining the differences in how AI is being used in audio. I have some amazing new iZotope and Sonible plugins as well as your TM700. I like them all. Great work 🤠

[@ohsandones]

Really informative vid!! 🙌🏾 love your plug ins btw!!

[@Audiojunkk]

Thank you for making this video. Love your plugins

[@toneempireplugins]

Glad you like them!

[@marcusedvardsson5505]

Me, as an end user, can I use my macs Neural Cores when I use plugins with AI or why do I have so many of these cores in my Mac? :)

[@gdayal9]

Yes, for realtime AI training oriented plugins certainly. This is all coming. When we train analog models, which is an offline process, we use the gpu and neural cores.

[@weeschwee]

This is very interesting. I still don't quite get it. Is the AI intelligently using IR's or is it creating code based on what you feed it? I understand that the AI is not making decisions for you but only used to model the hardware and I think that is fascinating! That's how I would rather have it. Give me a plugin that sounds just as good as what its trying to emulate and let me play with it. But on the technical side of it, I just can't wrap my head around it lol. I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm keeping an eye on your plugins and I really appreciate the quality to price ratio. I try to not buy too many plugins, but I might end up with some Tone Empire plugins some day.

Very interesting conversation. Thank you very much for the video. I personally believe that AI will force people to be more creative. To leave behind the technical aspect, such a gating a vocal, and tuning a vocal and put a lot of time into setting unique sounds starting from a perfect stem. I believe that tools like the ones you guys make are gonna be amazing for adding colour and interest, and there will be corrective tools as well that will help with getting great stems and volume balance. It's way easier to imprint your taste into a product once the product is prepared for that. That is just my opinion. To use your words, we will be left with the cool stuff and the fun stuff in mixing.

Geat topic that really is a hint at the future. Nothing can replace the emotional connection to hearing and feeling music. So while AI learns me I want to learn from AI , so I don't perceive this tech as a threat to my creativity but a sort of friend with benefits. I am all for an AI mix assistant built into my DAW studio one to give me suggestions on eq and compression and tonal moves across an entire mix. It would also be great if it had a Morgan Freeman voice to tell me " This mix sucks and here's why " Try again to challenge me to improve my skills. I foresee KZbin will be lit up with videos of Human vs AI mixes that will motivate pro audio engineers to keep the art of mixing alive. Thanks :)

[@gdayal9]

Well said sir :)

[@SG-4u]

There are other compressors that were made using machine learning. I think Acustica Audio has a whole channel strip made with "AI". I welcome these developments. All the analog or die people might have a good argument when they say component modeling doesn't match "real hardware", but I think with machine learning we are going to end up in territory where there is no sonic difference, and that's great for everybody.

[@gdayal9]

I'll check it out, I believe they are using convolution primarily, true AI Machine Learning is a fairly new tech for audio.

[@SG-4u]

@@gdayal9 I think it's the ones on their Acqua page they claim to have created using some type of AI learning, but who knows, every developer tries to be so mysterious.

[@HewittH]

The Stratocaster and Les Paul removed obstacles for creators. Multitrack tape machines and mixing boards removed obstacles for creators. Digital recorders and MIDI sequencers removed obstacles for creators. Virtual instruments and effects removed obstacles for creators. AI is already doing the same, and it is gaining momentum. I welcome all of these changes and look forward to the surprises of tomorrow.

[@KevinSparksatx]

Les Paul was also responsible for multi-track recording!

[@HewittH]

@@KevinSparksatx excellent point!

...And we de enjoy listening to you indeed! 👍

[@davidasher22]

Are you guys hiring testers?

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

I beta test for SEVERAL large developers and typically the role doesn't pay. There are a few companies who will pay but it's very very rare and you need to show your value first. I test for 8 different companies and only 1 pays anything and it isn't very much lol.

[@davidasher22]

@@matt_nyc_audioengineer I’m an experienced QA. That’s an actual job. Before beta testing they have a team of developers and testers that make sure it’s ready for market. It’s usually black box testing with an agile/scrum workflow. What you’re doing is done after the fact. Just putting it under typical use case scenarios. A QA tester follows test cases and does testing from the beginning of the project till it’s end.

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

@@davidasher22 Oh sweet! Just making sure, some people have very grand delusions 🤣. Come to think of it, that's who we work with! We typically work with the QA team so that makes perfect sense now. I had assumed QA was something a little different. When most people refer to "testers" they are referring to beta testers. Thanks for the clarification.

[@davidasher22]

@@matt_nyc_audioengineer yeah. QA stands for quality assurance. Testers work hand in hand with the developers as to keep the coding legit. It saves time and money to do it during the development process otherwise you could be wasting months of work. They use a system called Agile where every couple weeks they have test cycles. After all that they will do the beta testing for a more real world environment. I actually do some paid beta testing too but I only get paid because of my experience.

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

@@davidasher22 That makes sense, thanks for breaking it down. Ya, I get paid by one company as well but it's not much and it's only for the time I actually put into testing. They are a smaller developer and they were having issues finding reliable testers. As I am sure you know many people who are interested in beta testing just want to be able to say they are a beta tester for so and so and get free plugins. It's a shame really! I LOVE doing the work. I make money off these tools and use them every day. I am invested in helping produce the best tools I can. So they saw I was submitting more "useful" tickets than the few testers they had lol. They booted them and it's just me and one other person now. It's been working well too!

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

My question is will my AI plugins turn into the Treminator and destroy me?haha....thanks for explaining,though being an old analog guy new to computer recording I'm still learning the basics but I am learning fast. Thanks Gaurav

[@gdayal9]

haha can't promise about general AI in the world , but the audio AI is your pet, you tell it what you want :)

chido mi prieto, trabaja en tu speech pero un sub mas :)
