It’s no secret that A.I. is a nuanced hot button issue, especially in the world of music and the creative arts. But the inevitable nature of this fast developing technology is so prevalent that we feel obligated as a music tech company to take a closer look at it. So in this episode, the Musio team discusses the potential impacts of Artificial Intelligence on the creative process. Mike Patti, Steve Goldshein, and Chris Hayzel examine ways that A.I. tools have made a positive change in some creative mediums, while considering carefully the potential negatives and the concerns of music creators around the world, all while trying to find the answer to the question: Should Musio include A.I.?

Humans have a tough time understanding their own intelligence as it is. It’s a terrible idea to think a computer is going to save us from our own folly.
Great discussion on this topic! I appreciate how you are getting feedback from users and taking a stance of some responsibility moving forward to BE the ones making positive changes. I’ve been a musician my whole life but only started composing within the last year and a half. There is a part of me that worries about AI generated music “taking over” and becoming the new norm, however, I think while music/sounds/vibrations can be useful on their own, what makes music a personally and culturally significant phenomenon is its human aspect. The music of The Beatles or Led Zeppelin likely would not have become as iconic if it were created by AI because it would have lacked the human creators—people with feelings, experiences, opinions, agendas, tastes, and something to say through their music.
All this to say, even if AI music becomes “good” or even “great”, I will still love the art of playing and composing music, and I think people will generally prefer to listen to music that was, at its heart, created by a human. I’m interested in your ideas about AI becoming a workflow enhancing tool though! I look forward to seeing where Musio takes this in the future!
Suggestions are good. More tools. I love the idea of AI listening to your music and assigning articulations. What a cool idea. Hope you do it!
WHY did somebody DELETE my comment that I posted when this started? Thanks a lot. Maybe my comment was irrelevant to the discussion. Eh? WTH?
The question never was if AI will replace human creativity, but rather if humans will be able to continue making a living from it
Great Duscussion!! Hope you keep doing them from time to time. I'm using Musio and I'm loving it. Greetings from Bolivia!!
Thank you very much for this very interesting dialog 😊🙏🏼 ! We can feel that you're all passionate and see the picture from the composers eyes 😊 the fear, in m’y point of vew, is more from the producers, that always are without time, without budget for music. There is one John Williams ❤️ but many others great ones that, maybe will « desapear » facing a good « scripter »….
How will be the « real world » ?
Anyway, thank you for creating Musio ❤😊
It would be nice to have AI figure out what MIDI offset is required for any given instrument. It seems that every string sample requires a different offset and it’s a time consuming issue.
I thinkiIt's not really about what AI will be capable of creating from the prompt, but about what humans allow their emotions to be affected by. We are living in a very shallow emotional period for humans, and humans are mainly being reprogrammed. For example, let's say the majority of the human population is just emotionally triggered with the beat or synth sound. Of course, AI would be able to fill that gap within seconds. But that's how this generation is trained! If we teach our kids and ourselves to listen more, to search for deeper content, explore our senses, lives, creativity, deeper emotions, and embrace human complexity, then AI would never be able to catch that. AI simply follows the market and quickly creates some content that hopefully affects human emotions and grabs attention, leading to an increase in money income. It is only humans, as consumers, who allow that to happen and support this path – it's not like we didn't have a choice in what to listen to and adapt to.
Great podcast, by the way! 🙂
I do support AI usage as a complementary tool, but not for full content creation.
Straight Ahead Samples lookahead algorithm is the only thing worth looking into. I've looked into all the ai stuff coming out. most of it is useless. Straight Ahead Samples lookahead how it works is you drag the midi back 4 bars and it gives the library software a second to think and choose the best round robin samples out of over 2000 recorded live samples. it's really good and all companies should learn how to implement lookahead. we are sick of nudging our midi notes back to line up tracks with offset times. it's super annoying and why do companies not give us the offset times when we purchase the products. this is not really directed at Cinesamples. this is like directed at all kontakt libraries. Tokyo Scoring Strings has lookahead too, it's so nice to use to not have to worry about offset times. Give us an ai bot that can learn offset times.
