I want to experiment with AI music generation, which one should I use? I was about to use Boomy but then I saw their BS terms and conditions. I'm leaning towards soundful right now, but I might try experimenting with more until I find one I like.
Since I'm already an experienced composer who is used to using DAW's and sibelius, I'd like to determine which ai generators or tools suit my style
So I never found one, or at least not one that was worth using, imo. So far every time I tried to use an AI music thing to make music, the interface was just such garbage that I gave up on it immediately. So many of these things supposedly have better features using a paid version, but it feels like it would just be a bigger waste of time and money, given my initial reaction to the free version.
Like, okay, so here's the thing: I used to be a composer. However, I never understood music in the same way as anyone else. I find it difficult to identify music in the ways it is presented, I don't understand genres, and I can't understand lyrics unless I have them written out in front of me as I listen. I attribute some of this to some sort of auditory processing disorder I have, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to try using an AI to help me make music, to help fill in the gaps in production where I am deficient.
But these AI music generators? Like, you know how with image generators, you can see the entire image immediately, so you know what it looks like, and you know if you like or dislike it right away. But you can't look at a 4 minute waveform and know if you will like it. You can't use your ears to glance at a piece of music and understand the whole thing and know if it's good or not, you have to spend the time to listen to the music. To understand it, you may need to listen to it multiple times. You need to hear the composition, the motifs, the rhythms, the mix, the effects, the tempo changes, the dynamics, the panning... there's so much time to be devoted just to listening to a single piece of music to understand what makes it good or what makes it bad, that sometimes? You just want something to be able to shorten that time.
But trying to get that from an AI is hard when the developers designed the AI in a way that is supposed to be understood the way most people do. I don't want the AI to compose something for me, I want it to help me compose something I would make, but I never got that feeling from any AI I tried, and I really don't want to waste my time if that's how they all are.
I like to compose, and often used sibelius to compose my music, and with that I could convert all the instruments into a midi file. Usually that's where I would transfer the midi to a DAW, but what I really want at that point is basically a DAW with AI in it. If that's a thing that exists, I want to know what it is, and if it doesn't exist, I want it to exist, and would make it myself if I knew how to.
