I totally get it. My dad is a lifelong musician and showing him some of this tech blows his mind, as it does mine. He is very talented and can sing, play guitar, write and so on. Surprisingly, he has been more open to learning about it and hasn't shown any prejudice against AI generated material. He's not old, but old enough to have witnessed the birth of the internet, so this stuff is insane to him. This is important in my opinion because the musician who adapts and can utilize the tools no matter what they are will be more likely to find ways produce a better product that reflects their vision. This goes for basically anything, not just music and art. It comes from a place of control over the project. We didn't have electronic mixing until the 70's, autotune til the late 90's and now we have AI in 2024. As times change, more tools become available for creatives that generally make the process easier. Often the argument is that these new technologies are detrimental because they take the effort or skill out of something. While I think that is a totally valid argument, many pieces of art we admire as a civilization every day were made in minutes, and some took centuries. Some took very little skill and others required the mastery of hundreds. Thousands, even. Each is appreciated in their own respective way. Many of the songs that broke records and sold platinum were made on the spot. The artist that has the tools available to them will be more likely to produce an accurate portrayal of their vision quicker than an artist of equal skill that doesn't have those same tools. Which will only inevitably lead to faster production, higher production value, and most importantly, control over a final product. An allegory to this would be the printing press. The printing press has been, in many ways, the greatest invention in the past millennium. Without it the transfer of knowledge would have been drastically slowed and libraries would have been continental. It greatly accelerated our species, and was not widely accepted at first because of the established standard. They were scared of economies suffering and loss of prestige, as the knowledge at that time was extremely valuable in its scarcely written form. Had the printing press never existed, we can speculate most of all new technologies never would have either. I'm not saying AI is anywhere near as revolutionary as the printing press, but it does have its potential. It certainly is more influencing than even the internet, which is substantial in my opinion. These projects that I make and upload here do take time, and I do try very hard to produce something that is genuinely worth listening to. The added bonus being I can make it all free and commercially usable which benefits small creators. With all that said I've always listened to music of any kind from the perspective of if I like it, I like it. Genre and skill be damned. Sorry for the wall of text, and thanks for watching!

@@uncannytranny From what I've seen the general consensus of generative AI is.. well.. it takes the creative aspect away.. and as you pointed out yourself - it "takes the effort or skill out of something". I don't think the previous technological advancements should be even remotely compared to generative AI. Because yes, they speeded up work of many things in many ways imaginable, however up until that point it's always been *you* making the idea, *you* taking effort, going through creative process, *you* giving the work of art a 'soul'. But this? I won't judge how much work was put into this song specifically, however the idea of just having anything generated within just a few mouse clicks or by just inserting a prompt goes against the very foundations of art... For example how can you claim something like that is 'yours'? Where is all of what was generated by AI coming from? It's quite literally the equivalent of you telling someone to go to do something. You didn't do it. Someone else did... or in the case of AI, well 'something' did. That does not make you an artist. In order to be artist, logically, it should be the person who *makes* art, and not who is *asking* for art. That's the fundamental problem of generative AI. Notice how I'm criticizing 'generative AI', and not AI altogether. Because I'm also not against AI in of itself. It has proven useful with problem solving, automating tedious tasks where it can sometimes take tremendous amount of effort solely for analyzing data and other stuff. Heck, even something like ChatGPT has proven to be the best translation tool you could ever find. If anything, I personally believe humanity should ultimately achieve a goal of solving everything that has a *definitive result* by an AI. Something that you cannot do the same with art because art is not *definitive*, since it can literally be anything.

There is indeed a slower nonlinear fade on the start and end to the song. Perhaps that's what you're referencing? The audio levels were mastered to max out without clipping. If you're hearing something else let me know and I'll try and address it. Cheers

@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337 me neither bro! Thanks for checking it out

Quick question ​how exactly did you make this? Did you kind of composed it yourself or did you just let Skynet do it? 😅@@uncannytranny

​@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337It's usually a ton of trial and error playing with different genres. I primarily use Suno, and I tend to start with simple melodies and tonal qualities until I get something that will work well in a target genre. I will build up on that sample. There are often instructions regarding intensity, sound profile, emotion and so on. To get a good product I typically flip one gen 20-30 times before I'm okay with the end result. Then the final sample is recomposed/rearranged (if necessary), mixed and mastered. Images featured are made locally with stable diffusion, and all lyrics in songs that have them are original. It takes a good bit of time to come out with something worthwhile, sometimes even days, but still pales in comparison to the effort sustained in traditional music production. My goal is to create a large, accessible and mostly indistinguishable library of songs that are free to use. Hopefully enabling smaller creators to achieve higher production value on their projects. Thanks again for checking it out, and feel free to let me know if there's anything else you're curious about.

@@uncannytranny did my morning walk to this music, fantastic work you did. If I may make a request, i don't know if you play Hitman or if you're even aware of it they have this trailer: ua-cam.com/video/LVqxMCZ3u6k/v-deo.htmlsi=A-WUnBE1_gVJjBUR and the music here is really good and I always wished I could listen to it without the background noise. I'd do it myself if I knew anything about music production. But you're already good.

@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337 I appreciate the kind words! Super cool to hear and I really appreciate you listening. Regarding the Hitman music, it does look like someone already did find and post the instrumental featured in the E3 2015 trailer. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/1ad-IisiQ0o/v-deo.html

same, something about Makima style eyes intrigues me and scares me all at once

Thank you!

@@veeam21 appreciate that man thanks for watching

@@jessefeng4476 what a compliment, really appreciate it. Thanks for listening.

appreciate that thanks for stopping by

Really appreciate it, thank you.

Thank you! Can't remember all the tags but anime girl, hypnosis, red background, abstract, neutral expression, wide eyes, exotic pupils were some tags that come to mind. A1111, Euler A 23 steps w/ hires fix on, upscaled online with AI afterwards cuz I aint got the resources for allat

Thanks broseidon, you get all the deep cuts ❤

Thanks a lot!! I was certainly a little concerned after a few uploads had 0 views over a matter of days, when that turned out to just be due to the shorts policy change I was relieved. Hence the month or so of hiatus I was just on. When Taco Bell features a song in a Baja Blast ad, wake me.

@@uncannytranny Yeah, I come back around to view when a new video of yours crops up on my home page, or when a previous song of yours pops up in my playlist and then a new one is in the recommended videos. Your songs are in playlists on my phone or my computer, so I'm listening often. xP

@@syrsafox32 Means the world. Thanks again for listening.

@@uncannytranny Always, man! Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot!

Really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Glad you like it bro!

Hoping to post a few more very soon, been busy with a few projects. Thanks for watching!

Definitely a few here and there. That said it could be the middle of February and I still might make something spooky themed lool

@@uncannytranny You need to make some cheesey AI metal for Valentine's Day.

​@@syrsafox32hmmmmm not a bad idea, maybe Marvin Gaye style bedroom music also? 🤔

@@uncannytranny I don't know. I'm not one for bedroom music, so I can't say.

@@syrsafox32 I hear you, I usually only make love with Skrillex blasting in the background 😁

I can definitely see the resemblance, they were the shit back in the day.

@@syrsafox32 good old fashioned creativity haha

@@uncannytranny No AI involved this time? xD

​@@syrsafox32 haha if there's one thing ai sucks with it's lyrics and names. So those I do on my own.

@@uncannytranny Fair, fair. Heck, if you ever want to make another metal track that has some sort of vocals, and you need a song name and an "artist", name it something to do with the moon or lunar cycles, and have it be by Werewolves of Sheldon. xD

"Werewolves of Sheldon - The Moon Is Not Real It's A Government Conspiracy to Sell More Moon Pies (proof inside) Remix"

Use as you see fit! I'd love to see the final result.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

Yes, I'll frequently use midjourney or local stable diffusion to generate an image I think fits to the song. I'll usually touch up any abnormalities the AI interpreted with photoshop, do some color grading and stylizing and viola. If you're curious about reuse, go right ahead. The high res album image should be downloadable from bandcamp. Cheers for tuning in again brother, definitely appreciate the interest.

@@uncannytranny Always, man! I love the music!

@@syrsafox32 Makes me super happy to hear. Thanks again man!

Appreciate it homie

People simply don't understand the power of Al Gore these days smh

Really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed.

@@syrsafox32 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

​@uncannytranny It's not on your Band Camp?

@@syrsafox32 Sorry! Only had time to get a few up yesterday. Just uploaded this one to bandcamp - check the description and feel free to download! Thanks for listening!

Yup! Just updated this one. Really appreciate the interest!

@@uncannytranny Sweet! I'll check back on the Bandcamp later, then! It's time for bed for me. I've been awake for coming on 20 hours. xP

Really appreciate the kind words. I just now created a bandcamp for easy downloads and I've put the link in the description. You can enter $0.00 for the purchase price and download for free under creative commons attribution 3.0 unported, meaning the song can be used freely, remixed, and even profited on commercially as per the license. Thanks for watching and subscribing, means a lot!

@@uncannytranny You're welcome!

@@uncannytranny You're welcome! I hope more of your music makes it out here too!

Thanks broheim, appreciate you watching

Yes it is

@@uncannytrannygreat music

100% it is very similar. Totally went for the SNES/SEGA chiptune sound. Hope you enjoyed!

i love your comment

Glad you liked it! Sometimes you get lucky and get something great other times it takes quite a few tries to get anything decent. Still leagues faster than traditional music production. I've been messing with AI music for well over a year now and just recently decided to upload the better ones I get. Oh, and you're absolutely right, it's scary as hell.
