    My opinion will never change on this, I don’t care if they’re suing satan himself.

    Fuck the RIAA.

    Fuck the music industry, but fuck AI made music even more. The goddamn robot is supposed to take my factory job and leave me with the time to write songs not the other way around

      How do you feel about other tech-based tools making an artists life easier, like sequencers, VSTs, DAWs, and the like? I see it as maybe another tool to use.

        With all of the tools you described the entire creative process is still done by a human musician. Sequencers have to be programmed. VSTs are just instruments and they DAWs have simply replaced expensive studio equipment so poors like me can produce a decent sounding track.

        I don’t want to see generated images or AI coded video games either.

        None of those tools has ever made a full releasable track for anyone, just like the tape machine never created music out of nowhere.

          Arguably a lot of these tools are designed specifically to reduce the effort a human has to put in to create the art they want to make too.

        You’re getting downvoted but you are right. Stuff like this is a super cool example of exactly the type of thing you are talking about imo.

        There’s a lot of AI generated art that sucks. But that does not imply that in skilled hands an artist can’t use those tools in creative/interesting ways.

        Technicalities probably, but much like computery things in general these tools don’t make all things easier necessarily. If pure making and playing of music is the goal, then just pickup an instrument. Record it with a nice preamp and microphone in an appropriate space. These tools allow many more and different options however. Of course I can approximate an orchestra good enough for low budget projects if not tv shows, without needing to hire an actual orchestra. And apply convolution reverb of the sistene chapel, or my bathroom. No complaints about the massive world of possibilities at our finger tips. But if I could hire a local school orchestra, the recording gear, and have an afternoon on such a project , it would be alot more fun than scrolling for hours for the right picollo flute sample, wrestling with licences (including cost) , upgrade hassles, and other tech headaches of this digital age. Back to my banjo. Saying all that I prefer when the tools mature into instruments and methods in their own right. e.g mpc sampling and performance, ableton live magic , and more. Plus its not all mutually exclusive. Do whats right for the art at the given time.

      Problem is this is a Cell vs C18 fight. Don’t let Cell win and absorb C18 :/ neither can win.

      Yes and no. Promotion is a whole other beast now, not like in the day. But almost everything else - yes! And it’s great. My friend gave me what would have been $100,000 piece of gear in 1985 - because he had two of them.
