From what I've seen, the music industry (all genres including pop, classical, etc.) tends to be more about personality than actual content these days, so it's not really an issue. Virtual singers are already pretty good anyways, I

I don't remember the details, but the reason the 2019 paper was challenged was because Google did not take into account quantum simulation optimization techniques when estimating how long the computation would run on classical computer

Music OCR is in general in a pretty terrible state these days (I’ve tried most of the options on the market). I’ve heard good things about soundslice[1] though, but I haven’t had the occasion to try it yet. [1]: https://www.sound

I knew some middle school students who would place their school-issued chromebooks upside-down on linoleum and slide around on them. So no surprise here.

If you don't have a house, and sleeping when you're in the car, then why would you bother commuting at all?

Doesn't seem to work well for music scores :( Tangentially, I haven't been able to find any software which has reliable OCR for music scores; they tend to be just bad enough as to be useless. Was curious if any recent AI developme

Hi, I study (classical) music composition, lately been getting more into electronic stuff. The largest audience I’ve gotten was probably around 1000 people, although they were mostly elementary schoolers, as part of an educational event org

I personally use Dominant strings for A, D, and G, with Pirastro Gold for the E string. Besides the E string, I haven't experimented with much else. If you're just getting back into things, it shouldn't matter too much; Piras

It's a law of diminishing returns type of thing. I haven't played on any super super expensive violins, but there is definitely a big difference between ~$100 violins and ~$1000 violins. Generally, the more expensive the violin, t

One not-exactly-related thought is that with violins, both the room and the bow have a very large effect on the sound; it certain cases, it might be quite difficult to tell the sound of violins apart because the room itself is having an out

Yep, the plugin works with MPE, though I'm also planning to add support for MTS-ESP, and MIDI 2 when it has wider support. I haven't used it, but Scale Breaker is definitely a cool plugin, I do plan on stealing some features from

Yeah, the bending itself being audible can be a bit jarring, I'm planning to add the option to interpolate the bends slowly, so hopefully that will help. Thank you for the interest!

As a music student at a conservatory, I believe this is true in that setting as well! (Though I would say feel is more important than intonation, as long as a baseline level of intonation is in place, and of course ideally you have both)

Hi, I made this! Pivotuner is a plugin which tunes MIDI data in pure intonation in real time. Besides enabling beautiful purely-tuned chords on keyboards, this also enables many other cool things such as microtonal modulation, and unusual c

They mention towards the end that they haven't found a natural programming model for this sort of thing yet and are playing around with different ideas. My initial thought was that an APL-style language with OCR could be a fairly natur

If anyone’s interested, I’ve been working on a plugin for automatic adaptive pure intonation, which can make things like microtonal modulations relatively easy to do! Hoping to release publicly before the end of the year. https:/&#x2F

Bitwig has a built in device that can do any 12-note tuning or equal division of the octave tuning (with tweakable octave I think). That said it cannot really do other tunings. But these two types of tuning are the most common, and I guess

I haven't used it much but OpenUtau (under active development) has been nice. Cross-platform, automatically handles internationalization issues, and the phenomizer system is very nice. Works well with the free multilingual Kumi Hitsubo
