This stuff is nuts. I can’t quite believe it. Anyone else?

Yes, Beato again, but he’s probably right.

Good short-ish watch. I'm a dinosaur. I don't even like live music performances using backing tracks and augmented vocals - no matter how good it sounds. At best, I'll be OK with a sample triggered in time by a human and that's about it. My approach is if you must play live using the extra tracks you added in the studio, bring a musician out with you to play them or find another way of playing the material. I'm not dissing people who use backing tracks and feel OK about it. That's up to them but it's not for me - as a player or as a fan. But plenty of people will just embrace it (as a musician) or ignore it (as a fan) and just get on with things.

So Beatos prediction sounds plausible, but I'm not of this world and won't be paying too much attention. I've already left the world of "the music business" and decided to remain in the world of "the music enthusiast". I'm as relevant to this as a Dixie Jazz band was to me in the '70s when I was in my teens.

I think he’s probably right, but it only focused on the vocal element. The bit I think he missed was that people would use it for creative musical potential - think about AI drum programming and sequencing, song structures etc and the artist may be more of “it was my concept so I’m the genius” but the leg work is all done by AI. It will definitely blur the boundaries of effort / reward, more so than when sampling became mainstream, and music will need to be judged purely on its merits.

Again old timer her so again the music industry man’s nothing to me.
other Than I enjoy listening to things old and new.

what is I suppose is more concerning when as Beato says you won’t know or care if the new album is by a real artist or a totally contrived marketing department. You can say you have always had manufactured pop artist but it never really gone much beyond that.

I watched this today . I don’t hold with a lot of this stuff but I can see how it could be useful to people writing music who are not great singers themselves but want to put down a vocal track on their work so that they can use it to demonstrate how they’d like it sung . Say I’m working on an 80s style AOR track and need to put some vocals on it , I want it in say the style of Peter Cetera , it would be great to have the facility to roughly sing it in and have it come out sounding how you hear it in your head . I’m not sure it can do this anyway & was going to post on here to ask how it’s done . Here’s a great example of Paul Mc Cortney AI cover of Billy Joel’s My Life
