The worst part is that AI can probably produce some melodies that are almost ok. Pair that up with mediocre singers with automatic pitch and put more effort into the technology and sound technique than the actual talent and we will get mediocre music that almost sounds like a hit.

The risk is that real musicians might get drowned out in a river full of mass produced garbage.

Anyone with money can produce a pop star now.

@DrFell

Haha I am not so sure about this. At least I hope not.

Seeing as how people still exercise and do sports ball and manual labor.

@DrFell

The survivors.

@ned @Humpleupagus
Well there's a lot of mass produced garbage out there. And then there are real musicians who can still perform live and unplugged. Singers who sing a capella.

Everyone is not a tone death moron.

@DrFell @ned @Humpleupagus
We still have music school. Young students are learning to play instruments and how to sing and they learn from real musicians and they practice on folk music and blues and rock and pop.

And there are classical schools too and people still sing in the churches.

I don't think people will forget about music soon. And when there is real music people will recognize it.

@ned @DrFell @Humpleupagus
Yes there are probably no real threat. I was just thinking about how garbage music is being pushed on us.

But I can compare to the woke tv movie game industry. No one want's it. People aren't morons.

Sooner or later we will gravitate back to real art.

@EvolLove @DrFell @Humpleupagus same goes for tool assisted music. If music is high quality in production, but low quality in artistic merit, no one will listen. If the production is shit, but the music good, everyone will listen.

But having said that. If you put enough money and industry psyop behind anything you can make it popular.

@ned @DrFell @Humpleupagus
Yes anything can be made trending these days. If you hear a song enough times. I think there is even some science done on that topic.

But I don't think artists like Taylor Swift will be remembered after the money dries up.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

Are old records being remastered with this technique? Sounds a bit excessive. Some natural imperfections are just what makes it perfect.

@ned @Humpleupagus
Perhaps it is like politics. We get the leaders we deserve. We might get the music we deserve.

If people want to eat garbage then feed them garbage.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

This is an interesting topic. How will the modern technique affect the music industry?

Perhaps it can be helpful for individuals who can not afford a monster production? Put them on more equal footing with big music?

Or is it so that the ones who pay the most to spotify gets to trend? I forgot how it werks these days.

I don't even have Spotify. I tried it when it was "free" and I didn't like it, got bored in a day.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

The everyone sounds the same sounds very boring and like the opposite of art.

@DrFell @nanook @Humpleupagus @ned

And then a real musician steps on a stage and blow everyone's mind away without any electric device.

I think and hope that this will only be a phase.

@DrFell @nanook @Humpleupagus @ned

Yes the universe would fold around itself if that were to happen.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

Wasn't there talk about hertz? 44 hertz compared to something something. It happened after we went from LP to CD and then there was something about the hertz was changed.

But that was not about pitching though.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

Yes pitching what is already a unique and beautiful voice will not improve it.

U can not make perfect better. Any and all changes will make it worse.

That is why a true artist knows when to stop. Before they ruin their work.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

The ones pretending to sing live... Is that really a strong trend?

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell
I know. I didn't mean to say that there was any sampling rates in an lp. But the discussion about the hertz came not long after CD became the new standard.

And then again when we started to save music files on computers and on USB stick.

This has been a re-occurring thing over the last decades. And it started when we went from LP to CD. That is when we went digital.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell
No one in the in the history of mankind ever referred to HZ in an LP.

We are talking about digital sound here.

Anecdotal and not related. I used to cut audio tape with scissors or scalpel and tape it up again. Because that is how I edited sound in mid 80s. For no good reason other than being bored.

And I remember the DAT player from when it was the new thing. It was fast implemented among journalists. Small and reliable.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

I have no idea when it started. I just remember that ever since the CD it have been a re occurring topic. Perhaps it was only among musicians?

Some even went back to LP again. Perhaps it was more about pr than sound quality. Something to make U stand out.

When they get a demo on LP with cover and all. And fan service.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell
It did. But I think I only heard and used the first gen. My life took another direction and the next thing I knew it was all CD and then even the CD was outdated.

Well I guess it has become a lot more convenient. I no longer aspire to do anything professional with sound. But I bought a small thing that I can just plug into the USB and it split to different mics and knobs. Easy to use. Very sheep.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

That is the one I was thinking about. So it was before the digitalization then.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

Maybe I will have to get me some old records, if I can hear the difference?

I think it is pretty safe to say that very few are mistaking contrails for chemtrails.

Contrails dissolve in minutes.
Chemtrails lasts for hours.

Questioning the moon landing might be far out but it is not crazy. Because it is not impossible.

A few people think that the earth is flat and there are no need to make a mixed a list with all the things that people might think. Because there is no connection between those things.

Unless the goal is to silence everyone who dare ask questions.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

A conspiracy does not have to mean that it is done for some evil purpose. Normal meetings can be specified as such.

It's a known conspiracy theory. Might be true might be false. I have no stake in this so I am fine with it either way.

I just find it interesting. Would I be able to hear the difference?

Is there a difference in quality?

What did we lose what did we gain when we changed it?

Perhaps Ill just ask some professional audio engineer. 😀
