Nooice!

@Anji Kaizen I am not a musician. I am an engineer, producer and a studio owner. I started my career more than 40 years ago. Before computers, before midi. before sampling. The sad part is - AI is here to stay. As audio professionals, we have to embrace the technology and use it as our clients budgets demand. There are just no budgets left for real productions in this new era. But - I agree. Way more fun making it with real people. There is nothing like having awesome musicians playing live in a room and capturing that vibe using old school technology. Analog!

@Anji Kaizen Sure. When I use Suno to create a music bed for a VO demo. There are no lyrics. Only a musical idea. There is no expectation of sync or copyrights. It's just a demo. We work with a lot of songwriters who are using Suno to hash out ideas and then come to the studio to record with musicians. As for the Izotope and other Ai type plugins? It's the same thing. Engineers and Producers use these AI tools to make their work sound better just by letting the algorithm do the work instead of using their ears. I dislike Izotope and never use it. I am actually against even using a spectrum analyzer behind the EQ like the one on the ProQ 3. We could continue this conversation forever. Opinions, generational learning, experience and differences matter. I understand your frustration and I agree. But, AI is here to stay. Not much we can do about it. I'm sad that my vintage analog console is now just a desk that holds my laptop. But, it looks cool in my studio. I'm also sad that we didn't listen when John Connor came back to tell us about what happens. Skynet always wins in the end.

That's what I was going to say - OOOOhhhh!

Blitz Me Selma! Let's GO!
