Would you say any 'game changing' plugins have arrived in the last few years?

Discuss hardware/software tools and techniques involved in capturing sound, in the studio, live or on location.

We already have the ability to play unplayable stuff using a keyboard to play a guitar VSTi :D

Learning an instrument may become something people do for the sake of history like keeping dead languages alive like Latin eventually.

That may become the case, I think we will still want to see humans playing their instruments but it may become even more niche than it is now.

Still mourning the loss of my 'Jedi Poster" status :)

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.

Honestly look at some of these AI vocal websites like Musicfy and Lalals, you put your vocals in and can convert those to AI versions of famous artists and rappers ... and it sounds amazing. I think someone did a tune with Drake and it went viral.

Thing is, I want to sound like me, but in tune and able to span 2 octaves instead of just 2 notes, beyond that and I'm out of my death.

Coincidentally I'm listening to Taylor Swift and I am sure she has oput her voice through Lalas (or whatever) in order to sound like Tia Ray :bouncy:

Interesting, some of these AI songs should be recorded proper by the artists and give the songwriter the royalties. They’ve already gone viral like the Drake one make it official with a video.

Will.I.am went to visit an AI music company recently and said the software produced a song that sounded just as if he had written it. It wasn’t some kind of average of previous things he had written, but something genuinely original.

The effect of this technology is going to be huge.

But was the music 'intelligent' ?

Wow! It must have come on a long way if it can finally write a better song than "My Humps"...
