This is Music Production. A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!

RIP Waveform.

Rules are as follows:

  1. Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
  2. No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.

I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!

Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:

(in no particular order)

  1. Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
  2. Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
  3. Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
  4. News about production software, releases and personalities.
  5. Questions and general advice about music production.
  6. Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
  7. Your physical analog gear! Let us know how it performs!

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Can ai determine the symbolism it wants in a song and then choose whether the direction of a scale is down or up or which harmonies are used to convey it?

Just like real visual artists who put real thought and specific meaningful things in their images being basically beyond what visual ai can do... As a composer beyond the 'just makin a catchy tune for da moneyz', I don't have any fear of ai music. Music can convey the soul of it's maker. what soul does an ai have? Can you hear it's experiences in it's music?

So the people who don't learn instruments and instead enjoy ai music I personally don't see anything wrong with. Sure, go ahead! I do the same with visual art cuz I can't draw. Hopefully you can make something you enjoy. :) But there is a level of shallowness ai can't go beyond.

So I personally can interpret that ceo statement as decent and true for alot of his target audience without problem. Tho, for the sake of not getting 150 downvotes, disregard everything i said and pretend i immediately grabbed my luigi hat and 3d printed poison crossbow while yelling angrily, fist in the air.
