This video came across my feed and he says music as we know it is done. It’s over dude to AI. I’m just curious if he is reputable and if this is legit or not?
>>128235591>Who's this guy.He's a producer friend of Glenn Fricker of "SMG Studios" or "Wall of Sound Studios" or whatever he calls his studio these days. A metal sound tech YouTuber, a very nice guy that Glenn Fricker, you probably know him. Well the guy in your pic is one of his friends from Germany. He gets a bit dunked on in Fricker's videos for being a nerd, from what I remember.He has his own opinions, he's a nerd. I don't give any credit to what other sound techs than me say, and I don't say much. Sound techs are given a product on which to work on and the rest is insane schizo babble, our opinions are worthless beyond what sounds good or not.>Will AI replace music as we know it.On my dead body first and foremost. More seriously: no. AI is a very limited technology, it's very flawed, experts say it's a bubble even AI pioneers, it's about to fail. Two more weeks now.In fact, maybe in a timeline it will replace music production as we know it but it will be at a great cost that nobody is really willing to pay even the AI giants. It's just too insane. Now if you're a nice nerd who unironically wears cartoon hoodies you're in that mental space where you believe AI will replace us. I don't think so.
>>128237192>from GermanyHis English used to be better when he had long hair, not joking
>>128235591We call this a Dummschwätzer in German. Dude is just some asshole with money. He's wondering why his channel isn't flourishing, when he comes over as this condescending, not fun to be around guy.
>>128237559>DummschwätzerOkay thanks, so in French a "baratineur": someone who rambles or lies to make himself appear as if he knows things but in reality he's full of shit.
>hey guys im going to post about a video but not even link the video at all xD
>>128235591>waaah AImeans nothing, anyone scared of it or who thinks that it replace humans is a dumdum
>>128235591Firstly, post the video, OP.Anyway AI is affecting music but not really "consumer" music i.e. stuff you listen to for fun. It's mainly having an impact on media music including film scores, TV music, sound design and radio ads. Think about all those short musical stings you hear in trailers, or maybe short loops used in video games. In these cases you don't actually need long periods of music, nor particularly creative music at that. This is why AI is making progress in those fields.Art music is safe, but there's an entire world of people out there who just need generic music to fill in their films, games, ads, websites, and sound libraries. Ever noticed that ever YouTuber seems to use the same library of royalty-free tracks? It's because the entire field is homogenous by design. The companies that own these libraries will actually pay their composers a tiny commission to let them train their AI on their tracks, and most composers don't mind."Music as we know it" probably isn't dead, you have to bear in mind that things like Spotify, the existence of "bedroom producers," skyrocketing live performance costs, and tiny attention spans have all done far worse.I do regular paid work both composing (film scores + commissions) and running a classical recording studio, but honestly I'm not quitting my day job. The actual music industry is so much more boring, banal, and fruitless than people imagine.
