La la la. What a mess. First all the music industry will collapse under A.I. lords, and then maybe people will start to search human made music.
All the stats about the rise of the old music are supporting my claim:)
Young people, invest in your talents, with analogue processes in mind.
This will be a huge market.
- hooverd 4y agoIt takes talent to make Vocaloid tracks sound like more than another riff on World is Mine.
- nulld3v 4y agoI always thought the main appeal of Vocaloid was it's signature robotic sound. If you want to synthesize more realistic sounding voices there are better options.
- redwall_hp 4y agoAnd it's an instrument like any other. It doesn't magically write lyrics and a melody for you, it doesn't mix, and it certainly doesn't sound great without a good ear for the different parameters and EQing. It takes a lot of skill to make music with vocaloid.
- YurgenJurgensen 4y agoYeah, if you're not rich enough to be able to hire a full choir and orchestra, you don't deserve to write songs for more than one person.
- squarefoot 4y ago> First all the music industry will collapse under A.I. lords The purpose seems as usual to get rid of as many human musicians/singers they can so that everything can be made by a single person (or AI in a few years), therefore saving money. In a different context, the transition from multi elements bands to one man bands with keyboard, then finally karaoke, in many cases is motivated by costs as well.
- astrange 4y agoThe point is that it enables musicians who would never have found a vocalist before this. Vocaloid has been around a decade and hasn't eliminated any jobs, unless maybe someone hurt their throat trying to sing Disappearance of Hatsune Miku. There's hardly any evidence automation ever destroys jobs; it seems to actually create them. It's very silly people just keep claiming this.
- squarefoot 4y agoI was not referring to musicians using electronics to create something they have no access to (I have two synthesizers just here because I can't afford an orchestra) but to the music industry that in many contexts pushes for solutions motivated only by money.
- teolandon 4y agoVocaloid has been a thing for almost 20 years now. People still sing. Digital art has been a thing for longer, people still paint. People do art because it's fun. Nothing will stop people from getting together in a band and jamming, because it's fun.
- numpad0 4y agoAnd it's not just that some people still engage in those activities, but a lot of people are starting their carriers by direct influence from those tools. And, this is subjective, but a lot of those tool-enabled artists seems to do better even in absence of such automagic enablers than non-enabled. Good AIs sharpen humans into unassuming Olympians, bad AIs just fall out of the Internet attention span.
- dotnet00 4y agoMight as well be arguing that old school autocomplete (not even copilot) will kill the software industry.
