       | We're working on an app in this space over at wavtool.com with
       | the goal of using AI to speed up the creation process and lower
       | the barrier to entry. It's effectively a DAW that can be
       | controlled by a chatbot.
       | 
       | We've had pretty amazing results just relying on what GPT-4 knows
       | about music. Without any special sauce it can write melodies and
       | chord progressions and make sensible engineering decisions, and
       | only occasionally misunderstands and starts writing in allcaps
       | when a user says something is too quiet
       | 
       | Quite fun to play around with if you find this kind of thing
       | interesting!

       | Interesting podcast, thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of
       | MusicLM yet and just downloaded the paper and listened to the
       | various samples on https://google-
       | research.github.io/seanet/musiclm/examples/. MuseNet still
       | produces more credible pieces from my point of view (practicing
       | musician/composer/producer for decades) than the models based on
       | raw audio files (like MusicLM); the latter lack true musical
       | concepts as you expect from a human composer, or it just sounds
       | like you listen to more than one piece at the same time; it might
       | be suited to impress non-musicians though. So there is still much
       | room for improvement.

       | of the article is an ad.

         | First 45 seconds is an embedded ad, skip past that.
