Very often we are wanting to learn covers. There are already many apps that can strip out different instruments as what is termed stems. Cubase has spectralayers which can do this. It also has Omnivocal which can provide a singer simply by typing in words into a a melody viewed in a key editor. It can do stuff with chords too. Nothing replaces the feel of live musicians and Biab is still the best for this, even if it is cranky and has a Win 95 look. However, if you can take an original or your bands cover and strip out an instrument so you can replace it, this is often much better. AI can do so much more than synthesize voices. It will of course soon be able to do things we cannot imagine for example, strip out an orchestral performance, into individual instrument stems and present the instrument in score notation for you to alter. It’s going to explode onto the scene. Some AI vocals are pretty good, elevenlabs would be a good example. It’s already possible for you to sing like you and sound like elvis or Shirley Temple. There is still a need for BIAB chord versatility but I do doubt the younger generation will use it in its clunky old skool form. When I show it to musicians it’s like showing the, supermario. They , perhaps wrongly, turn their head away. It’s time for a fundamental rewrite.
