Thanks Herb, for your clarification. This is such a challenging area and a lot rests on definitions. I consider that BIAB is one of the first music programs to benefit from artificial intelligence. Compared to what’s happening in the most recent years, though, and given your definition, I could also see not quite counting it as AI.

I released a single two years ago on Reverbnation. All the players except one were live, but we played to an acoustic Bossa Nova RealTrack by BIAB. This worked incredibly well. I even had guitarists ask me who the guitarist was! In a mix of all live musicians, even pro guitarists couldn’t figure it out.
