Hey everyone - first of all, it was great hanging out with you all last night. What a great group of professionals and people!
I thought I'd post my SUNO experiment here so you can hear what we were talking about last night. I uploaded the first verse and chorus of a song I wrote a long time ago in demo form with me singing, and asked it to put an Indie Rock spin on it. The second version is what SUNO gave back to me. All the tracks are downloadable in Stems from SUNO so I can drag it into Logic and work from there to refine it. (PS - SUNO also just introduced a Studio product which seems to mimic a DAW.)
Question - for composers/producers who can't afford to bring a crew of session musicians together to work on a song, is SUNO (or AI) going to be a tool for collaboration moving forward?
- As pointed out, is it that different from taking inspiration or adding to your track with a Splice loop you manipulate?
- What about Logic's Session players - aren't they AI?
- How about EastWest's Hollywood Orchestrator?
Just like coders are now using AI as a tool to help them code faster, will media composers use AI as a tool to work faster? Both still need a "composer" to make tweaks, edit, react to feedback from a client, etc.
AI is here and going to change the landscape no doubt. As media composers that work on extremely tight deadlines, is there a way for us to harness the power for good in an ethical fashion?
