Greetings all!
As a 65 yr old retiree, its not like I am interested in AI music tools to jumpstart a music career. But here is what I am interested in: I played in a rock band 30 yrs ago, and we produced (on a Tascam 4-track recorder) maybe 30 or so recordings of our original compositions. I eventually wrangled about 20+ of the best of those songs into shape and put them on a CD. Although the sound quality does suggest DIY, I can live with that for the most part, but there are a few songs (usually demos) where I, for instance, hit a real bad note on a vocal and didn't bother to fix it at the time. Or perhaps the mix was deficient in some regard (e.g., vocals too loud, bass too low, etc) and I might want an AI engine to do a 'remix.'
I really don't know the extent of what AI tools are capable of, but its capability seems almost limitless. I would love to be able to upload the mp3's of some songs to an AI platform and give it prompts like "fix vocals at 35 second mark," or simply "improve accuracy of vocals without making it sound like autotune." And beyond fixing things, could I have the AI "add a 12-string guitar in the style of the Byrds," or "add a harpsichord to this song." Is this the kind of things AI tools can do, and if so, what would be a good platform that could most easily do this for an AI novice?
Also, would AI music tools allow me to upload my lyrics, with some instructions as to what the verses, chorus, and bridge are, and ask AI to take those lyrics and "create a song in the folk rock style of Robyn Hitchcock"? That might produce something bizarre because naturally when I wrote those lyrics, there were chord patterns, cadences, a melody, and now AI is gonna have to shoehorn those lyrics into a musical context of its own invention, but, if it could convert lyrics I provide into a new song, I'd be interested in seeing what it comes up with.
So, thanks for reading this query and for any guidance anyone cares to offer. I am capable of learning new technologies, but I would also be interested in staying on the 'user friendly' side of the learning curve spectrum.
