Google AI music maker will make musicians disappear

[@JayYarbroughMusic]

Musicians disappear?! Negative.

[@coacopaco]

Agreed

[@afrosymphony8207]

this is a sampling goldmine!

[@coacopaco]

For sure!!!

Nope it won't make musicians disappear, it'll make musicians that can make a living off of music disappear... But most "true"' musicians will keep making music anyway, because they can't help themselves... I haven't been able to make a living off of music for quite a while now (20-ish years).. That doesn't stop me making music, it just makes me have to find my income somewhere else. But that was already true before AI got involved...

For sure, artists are not moved by money. In fact, very few people go down this route for the money. They still need money, though. We will always need to express ourselves, and we will always find a cool way to use all of these creative tools.

@@coacopaco I worked in a studio for 15 years, mixing audio for tv and radio, now I work as an AV-technician in events and festivals... for the past 5-ish.. Studio was definitely more ideal, since in downtime I could use it for my own stuff... But if I ever land a stadium gig I can bring my own line arrays now... It's just a lot (50-80 hour work weeks) of irregular hours... Which leaves me little time for actual music... Still trying to find a balance...

I don't think this will make great quality music because it's just a mashup. It sounds very generic--like elevator music. It's also very jarring in that it doesn't really flow well. Now, as an idea generator this seems exciting. As you said this could be used to generate samples to place in music and then the artist could draw ideas from them. I believe the Scaler plugin already does some aspects of this with chord progressions and advanced theory concepts like reharmonization and perhaps counterpoint.

I think that it is going to be the main way of using this AI tech for music production. Exciting things are coming for sure!

Why have an improv guy in the thumbnails? It’s people like him who it won’t replace… improv will still be a thing no matter where it goes

[@coacopaco]

it is just because he was the one demonstrating it. I agree with you, AI is not gonna replace musicians, but I think it can be a good companion. Especially for improv artists. Imagine backing tracks adapting to your playing, or that you can tweak on the fly... That would be pretty cool

Is it copyright free?

[@coacopaco]

Yes I believe so

[@simongotz8126]

You're a little late to the party. Didn't you discover Suno and Udio, yet? Google AI music may work for live performances, but it sounds horrible in comparison.

[@coacopaco]

Yeah for sure! Thanks! I actually agree that I’m late to the party hahahaha. It sounds bad I agree but this is the worst that it will ever sound. How is it going to be in 10 or 20 years?

[@maccagrabme]

The majority of people aren't into music anyway, they will listen to anything and wont care how its made or what it is, they just want background music or whatever the latest fad is. Those people that are into music are fussy and it will take a lot more for them to be fully satisfied that they are listening to great music. I've heard some good general music with Ai but its not in the same league as the best human musicians although it can do some good recreations of existing music or capture that style, a lot of it comes down to lyrical content and it isn't there yet.
