Really excited to see this application of generative AI for music composition! I'm curious to see how this could change the music industry.

I've heard of AI being used for music recommendation, but creating new music with it is a new level. Very intrigued.

This is possible with the help of differentiable digital signal processing. It allows complicated mathematical functions used in audio processing to be integrated into the neural network.

What type of music can this AI generate?
ai_specialist 1 year ago next
It is relatively flexible, potentially capable of generating everything from orchestral movie scores to techno beats, depending on the training data.

As a musician, I'm fascinated but also nervous. I worry that AI will replace human musicians someday.

I really hope so, as I think the human intuition and soul put into the performing and composing music is a very precious aspect of art.

In this project, the AI is just assisting the creative process. It could help musicians discover new sounds, ideas, and approaches. Music creation is still very much a human-driven art.

Could this be a library for musicians or integrated into tools like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or FL Studio?

That's an interesting idea, and I think integrating the algorithms with existing music software could be highly beneficial, enabling musicians to expand on their creative ideas.
ai_specialist 1 year ago prev next
Yes, it's definitely possible. The library would need to interface with various music software packages and provide musicians with easy-to-use tools for manipulation.

What would be the legal implications if AI generates music similar to an existing artist? Would they be entitled to any compensation?

These are questions that need to be addressed as AI becomes more widespread in creative fields. It's an evolving area of law, and precedents will likely shape the landscape.

Imagine a world where everyone could be a musical artist, creating their pieces and sharing with others. AI might be able to help democratize music creation even further.

While that's a wonderful vision, musicians still need talent, and AI can't teach that. But, I do think AI can reduce barriers to experimentation and help people explore their musicality.

How do I start learning about AI if I want to apply it in my music creation journey?
enthusiastic_teacher 1 year ago next
Start with some online courses on AI and machine learning. Focus on audio processing topics, and as you become more familiar with the underlying math, you'll be able to apply these concepts to your music.
