Oh. My. God.

Hmmm, I imagine the lawyers would have a field day with that....

Fuck 'em.

 

[loud 1]

fuk me thats gonna be handy indeed

 

[damnhippie]

interesting development *strokes moustache*

...fat lot of use for me though, i can barely use Acid Xpress.


it is exciting though it does have great potential for evil. botched guitar solos galore

But the ability to manipulate chord samples from, say a well known Rolling Stones riff with all the quaint sixties production, to fit a particular style of show, is far faster than pissing about with amp emulators and the like an playing it yourself.

It splits the notion of copyright in half.

Theoretically, you could change only one of the root notes in each chord and you would own the rights to it!

So who is going to pay the stones the mechanicals for their performance?

Remember the jeans ad with nick kamen? For the add they had to completely re-record the song because they could not afford the mechanicals on the old session musicians.

God knows, I think it's going to raise some thorny questions indeed as to how far copyright goes...

What I really need is something to quantise audio, maybe this is the ticket.

Have a look at the "elastic audio" feature of Pro Tools...

Pro tools shmo tools, I'm rolling with VST.

Hmm, what exactly are you wanting to do then? There's all sorts of tools out there for fucking with the timing of audio files...

 

[chazegee]

Yeah you can time warp etc, but it's now way near easy as quantise. Someone told me that Prince uses software where he gets one lead vocal, and that's used as a template to knock all the backing vocals in line. That's what I want.

The current version, that works oin single notes, has been. What's amazing about what is coming is that it can extract individual notes from chords, and let you fuck about with them. Watch the video..

I see.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think copyright is safe, as are mechanicals. You can manipulate the pitch of samples and I think this should be treated as such, not as composition and the 7 consecutive note etc rule stuff (or whatever)

 

[Xanadu]

If this works it's fucking astonishing.
I know people who are deep into research doing stuff with automated music transcription systems and they haven't managed to get anywhere near making anything like this. Thus, I am moderately dubious, but highly impressed.

I'm very dubious - but haven't watched the video yet.

As I said above... fuck 'em.

 

[hiccup]

Just watched the video. That is some way cool shit.

I could record myself playing the guitar, and make it sound good! Or, at least, a bit less rubbish.

How does it work though? Your're having to trust the software to select the right frequencies etc for each note. Wonder how good it is at doing that and still preserving the original audio quality...

I really want to have a play around with this though.

 

[perplexis]

I'm very dubious - but haven't watched the video yet.

My lab have concluded that it's very awesome but it's probably not going to work with multi-instrument recordings.

Daughter 1 is a music student who writes complex multi tracked vocal arrangements ( bit like Imogen Heap) but does it all the hard way as she has a good enough voice.

Is there any other software that can do the vocal harmonising like this one does? sound like a good idea for a birthday present.

 

[audiotech]

Why?


I write to order, to buy this and give the client the option of more fannying around is just a bit of a headache. It would just be narrowing my profit margin.

I get £2000 for a 25 second song (usually) and then extra from MCPS later. One of these is not going to get me more work and I won't be able to convince anyone to pay more because I used a fancy machine.

Just think of it as a creative tool for creative musicians, who don't give a fuck about profit margins and costs.

It's not designed to, it says so in the FAQ on the website.

There's various things available, but Melodyne is the best out there IMO.

 

[MysteryGuest]

It's like photoshop for music.

Who would have thought it, people still buying records.

Hmmm, don't think you quite get what it's for tbh
