Remember MYCIN?

Back in the day, AI meant expert systems, with inference engines driven by rule-based systems using knowledge derived from subject matter experts. AI moved from LISP to Prolog.

Fuzzy logic was a big thing, because it dealt more robustly with edge cases and gaps. But systems were still build from a knowlege engineering perspective.

Now we're at the point where neural networks are fed tons of data, and we don't care about the inner workings. As long the error measure is below some given level, the system is fit for use.

Strange days.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Maybe. Nothing I've read about this mentions Copyrights.

Yes, who knows where this is leading? Maybe nowhere? Maybe the thin end of the wedge?

Rick Beato - amen!

I actually shed a tear, because he just nailed it, and exposed the flip side of any art in our society today.

I'm guilty of being an active Apple Music Subscriber, I used to subscribe to Netflix/Amazon/Disney/HBO, I subscribe to Storytell and on my TV I subscribe to put art on my Samsung The Frame TV.
I can have everything at my fingertips, easy and convenient - but I value it less, than what I used to do.
I have so many choices on how to spent my spare time with art. You can add social media, gaming etc to that equation.'

The interesting thing is, what I actually value is music I listened to in the past - with very few exceptions. I value watching and learning about historical things - especially understanding the 60's, 70 and the 80's better with the historians perspectives. I value real acting, comedy performed live and listening to books (in the car while I drive) and last but not least - listening to radio...not music radio - old fashion radio where real people share experiences, exchange views and perspectives.

Especially with streaming and social media, it is very difficult to balance these things in a meaningful way - since algorithms and AI just feed me the same things over and over again.

As an extensive user of BIAB for more than a decade, using other composer aid tools as well - I also somehow add to the Rick Beato's drain is his kitchen sink. But without some of these wonderful tools, I wouldn't be spending hours trying to improve my singing, song writing, guitar playing ....the list goes on. I think the main difference is, that I want to control the full process, and try to replace even Real Tracks to see if I can do it more like my own work. With the AI tools on trial, I feel that I'm no longer in the driving seat of the process. I guess that's a matter of taste and experience with the various tools

I would have loved to be part of a band, but the chance and option never came my way. I never started making music to become rich and famous (I dreamt of that in a younger age), but especially BIAB became my band. For others their AI became their band.

The funny thing is - that since I have 50+ songs out there, the AIs might even feed on my music (probably to learn what not to do grin ... ) So maybe the safest bet is for the AIs to learn from the masters and generate artistic questionable or even poor music, that the Air will learn from again - maybe a downward spiral, might change music business again, and make room for the talented, the creative, the geniuses ....maybe we have to go fully through this era, for music to develop.

Meanwhile I will spend a lot of my time and attention to keep on watching guys like Rick, to remind me of what used to be, what used to make me both happy and sad at the same time, but what used to make me feel alive.

If you read so far - thank you - I'll end my ramble
