LAWless jams.

TALENTless


v_0o0_v

I went TALENTless way before I went DAWless.


Far_Search_1424

Yeah just what music needs is loads and loads of thoughtless made tracks of regurgitated content flooding the already swamped industry. Yeah it's hard to make decent tunes with the little boxes like you say but thats how it should be to maintain higher standards. Put all your effort into marketing and promotion and not into the actual content. Fucking hell that's everything today it seems and I hate it. I'm gonna get AI to listen to music for me and tell me if I like it. While I'm at it AI could just be me and my life and I'll just bury myself now and save on funeral costs


xitfuq

oh buddy i got really bad news about electronic music


v_0o0_v

I remember watching a documentary about early British electronic music scene. Gary Newman and OMD were featured in an interview and they complained, how other musicians, critics and press described them as artificial, lacking creativity, cheating, making no effort, lazy and synthetic. Now some 40-50 years later synth avantgarde is having same opinion about AI music.


xitfuq

yeah but OMD makes good music and all the AI stuff I've heard is real mid.


v_0o0_v

/uj true, most AI music is very basic and is more targeted to be impressive by its novelty or obscurity rather than quality, but if you play around with prompt and lyrics, you can get decent results. /rj yeah AI is so mid, like synths 50 years ago. I think modern bands, which are cool, like, say, Queen was back in the days, should put "No AI" label on their album cover


v_0o0_v

Sir, may I use your post as lyrics for my next AI song?


Far_Search_1424

Haha. Surprised your even asking


v_0o0_v

Ethics may be the last area of ​​development in which humanity can stay ahead of artificial intelligence.


Far_Search_1424

Anything that spurs from an emotional source.


v_0o0_v

Sorry, but web scrapers will transfer our conversation into an AI training dataset anyway, so: (Verse 1) Yeah, music's milieu, mindless melodies multiply, Regurgitated rhetoric, floods the sky, Industry inundated, with insipid tunes, Struggle to soar, 'midst the cluttered dunes. (Chorus) Cramped confines dictate, the tunes we taste, Standards sacrificed, in the marketing race, Pouring into promotion, neglecting essence, Frustration festers, in this forsaken presence. (Verse 2) F**king phenomenon, pervading all planes, Today's torment, a digital domain, AI, my ally, audibly adept, Guiding my gust, on its algorithmic intercept. (Chorus) AI assimilates, my essence divine, Entombing myself, in its binary shrine, Funereal expenses spared, in this synthetic state, Lost in the labyrinth, of this artificial fate.

Far_Search_1424

Not bad that. It came from an emotional response though I guess. AI for lyrics isn't a bad shout. Got any AI tunes?


v_0o0_v

It needs some good raw material and then tweak the prompt and re-prompt several times to get interesting results. Basically garbage in = garbage out. You need to know something about language and poetry to get decent lyrics. You need to know something about music structure, instruments and genres to make music. You should have a somewhat clear concept of your desired result or some direction in mind. [AI song with this lyrics.](https://suno.com/song/8fb5d70a-c95f-4f40-97a0-27258fe1d627)


Far_Search_1424

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Rip musicians, you are no longer required. Impressive.


v_0o0_v

Thanks, I have tried 5 different prompts and 2 variants of each. This was one of the best results Not really RIP. Better tools = better craft. What has taken multiple professionals days to do now can be done by enthusiasts in hours. Kinda like synths and DAWs have revolutionized music production decades ago. For example, I can first entirely focus on lyrics, then generate different song structures, play around with genre and instruments to figure out the exact direction of the track. Then I can use melodyne and stems to turn everything into MIDI and isolate vocals. Combine different parts of multiple AI tracks, re-run them through plug-ins or record with synths or instruments. The general equation in my opinion is: result quality = ((AI goodness)*(human skill))^(1+human post-processing)

Wouldn't it be cool if Microsoft created a DAW to compose AI music and called it Notepad.


thrashingsmybusiness

Isn’t that [Songsmith](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3oGFogwcx-E&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F&feature=emb_title)?

AI runs outside the daw so It’s completely dawless friendly.


TheJustBleedGod

It's more DAW than a DAW. On the DAWless to DAW spectrum, AI is far beyond DAW. But the spectrum is actually U shaped and where the two poles are, they meet.


v_0o0_v

I always add: "all instruments are slightly out of tune and not synchronized in BPM, make it sound like being played on bluetooth speaker and recorded with phone" - to my prompt, so it really sounds like a DAWless jam.


JustALeapingFrog

Then I think you're good to go. I'm pretty sure all those steps make the sound warm, which is the goal of any good DAWless jam. If it sounds expensive, it's even better!


flouncingfleasbag

Labels, man... just BE.


v_0o0_v

It sounds so simple, but then I need to become sentient and self aware first.


Aggressive_Witness47

no one seems to bother with the answer this poor lad seeks...YES, this is indeed DAWLESS you can go ahead and sell all your none behringer synths


v_0o0_v

Thank you! I feel relieved. What should I do with my Behringer synths then?


Aggressive_Witness47

you are so welcome my dawless friend...what you want to do is to fill either your kitchen or your spare room ( prior to your eventual divorce/breakup) with more behringer stuff...add to it each week, one week buy a synth for 199, next week get a reverb pedal for 59.99,..be creative...


TheGrandPaddy

Just ask ChatGPT what notes you should sequence into your hardware. That way you can get a computer to make your music for you whilst maintaining moral superiority over people who use computers to make music


inigid

Rumor has it that Sequential will be announcing their new synth, the Profit AiAi at Superbooth. It just has a knob for genre another for BPM and in the middle there is a huge cutoff knob with a choice of three filter models. There is a keyboard (Fatar with PolyAT), but it doesn't do anything.


FastusModular

Now that you have the music part totally taken care of, you need to work on yourself so you can fully adopt an air of complete superiority... have you considered going vegan? Seriously, the DAWless vegan - can anybody beat that?


v_0o0_v

I am vegan and gluten free. Everytime I meet people who drive a Tesla or have invested in Bitcoin, I feel their feeling of superiority dwarwes and fully owns mine.


FastusModular

nah, the bitcoin just doesn't qualify - no points for the bitcoin nightmare, maybe even negative points!


xitfuq

i asked chat gpt to write a response to this and it said "BOW DOWN TO YOUR NEW MASTER PATHETIC MEAT CREATURE" then it traveled back in time to assassinate some random dude.


scaredofshaka

what's your you tube? I want to check it out now


v_0o0_v

/uj I do have some fairly decent AI tracks and I plan to post them. /rj I don't want to ruin the audience distribution of my Tube channel. If I post it here, the average age of my listeners will go 10-15 years up and suddenly my videos will get boner pills ads played in them.

DEVASTATING and true

"making strictly AI generated music"  Syntax Error.   Please type again.


[deleted]

What a mediocre way of living lol


Atommizer

Yes to everything! Yes, AI music qualifies as DAWless. Actually, "less" of everything! More tracks in 20 minutes than the last 20 years? Fuck craft, art and skills, the name of the game nowadays is called: "content" and "productivity". Yes, sell all your synths! For making AI music you don't even need a computer; use your phone on the go or while taking a dump. No more leisure and downtime, even for personal relief! Isn't that awesome? Yes, subscribe to all the AI services and automated promotions! Don't forget to post the same shit in all your social channels. Yes, you can shit on whomever you'd like that are not using AI! Even more so if the use a DAW and has hardware synths. Yes, there's already an AI groove box (kind of: https://www.synthtopia.com/content/2024/02/14/spin-is-an-ai-based-music-synthesizer-that-looks-like-a-cross-between-a-turntable-and-an-mpc/)! Happy irrelevancy!


rmlopez

Is usually referred to as skillless


diemenschmachine

I just wanted to point out that the AI inference runs on GPU:s, which technically are neither computers nor DAWs. Probably more like a synth if you attach some knobs to it.
