One thing it does feel like gen ai music is coming for is the world of samples as currently constituted… I can imagine the future of sample libraries being more for exploration of sounds that can be timbre transferred to play whatever notes you want
Fooling around with @wavtoolofficial and @splice today, the ai assistant is such an accelerator. I don’t have to wade through infinite menus or do tedious manual stuff, I just ask it to (for example) automatically filter out any midi note shorter than a 16th note, and it’s done
Other features I know immediately I would want: ability to sample any audio/convert to midi. i want to search the @splice library for sounds, then convert them to midi, and have them play some midi notes I’ve already set up
Incredibly proud of Justin, who is wearing my shirt in this photo (I am Chief Fashion Officer), and incredibly excited to be an investor in @layer_financial
The oft-cited example of the application of fully AI-generated music is, like, a custom birthday song. A corollary is musical comedy, done well and cheaply (R&B groove about dumping a latte on my dog's head).
But I sense a ceiling not too far above.

@moma_ps2 Yeah the other possibility is like a “lofi beats to study to” infinite stream of atmospheric whatever you want… not that that has soul or meaning
