Beat (English)

How AI brings more time & fun

-

Loved by some, hated by others: Artificial intelligen­ce is a double-edged sword. It‘s actually great when idle tasks and time-wasters are taken over by an automaton. On the other hand, music is such a creative process with human results that a machine as the author seems downright absurd. That‘s why we‘ve divided the developmen­t of a production from the idea to the release into four sections and show you how the AI can help you in each case. Pick a problem area, use the tools provided and stay in the flow. In the end, you‘ll have more time to enjoy the sound!

Jump start for inspiratio­n

It doesn‘t make sense to let the AI design a track completely. But if your creativity falters or you‘re running out of time, there are handy helpers that can jump-start the flow so that the flow doesn‘t come to a standstill right from the start.

From loop to track

The well-known problem: The beat is there, an idea has been found, maybe even the hook for the whole song. But anything beyond the infamous 8-bar loop just won‘t work. That‘s why in phase 2 we‘ll show you some clever tools that will help you turn a loop into a basic framework for a whole track faster. There‘s still work to be done afterwards, but the uncreative part of moving clips and blocks is significan­tly reduced.

Making the mix rumble

Mixdown and mastering in particular can be hurdles when you‘re at war with compressor­s, EQs and limiters. That‘s where helpers that promise the „ultimate mix“and „unlimited pressure“come in handy. That‘s why in phase 3 we‘ll show you not only the best tools for getting a mix into shape, but also how to use them so they don‘t make things worse.

The perfect picture to the sound

Midjourney... ever heard of it? The „drawing artist“is celebrated on social media, as it „paints“complex works of art in seconds, which only require a few keywords as instructio­ns. The results are truly impressive and could be used as artwork for a release. So in phase 4, we‘ll show you how to convert your sound into an image form using Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to give your release the visual impact it needs.
