When I say I am an actual artist, I mean that I draw and paint. I can render and paint photorealism.
Here's what my process is like when creating Ai music
- think of a really cool and unique idea
- prompt the Ai with my idea, and depending on the software you can view and tweak the lyrics before creating the generation or you can insert your own lyrics altogether. I generally let the Ai work but I will teak the lyrics and have song generations with my own lyrics 100%
- Once the song is generated, good or bad, I look for what I like about it and what I don't like. I keep this in mind when I work on the generation. Some people like to hit the generate button until they get the perfect song, but I like to work with what I've got, good or bad. I don't like to waste things.
- After analysis of the song generated, I download to my pc and open with audacity (which is just like protools) and I cut the song into pieces and I take what I like and discard what I don't like. I arrange the song to fit my vision. It might be in a completely different order than how it was generated, or I might make my own segment using various pieces from the generation.
- Once the song is arranged, I do a lot of edits to try to make it sound like it flows naturally and not like a song that was cut into pieces and put back together. In some cases it works out flawlessly and there's almost no indication of any cuts, but in others it can be noticeable. Doing this successfully takes some effort
- The most difficult thing of all is the EQ/Mixing part, which is making it sound good. This could be removing noises you don't want, bringing out certain elements in the song, etc. Doing this successfully can take hours, days, weeks and it can be very stressful. The arrangement of music and EQ/Mixing process is what a music producer does and they make a lot of money for it.
- The final process in terms of the song generation is Mastering, which is making the song sound uniform throughout, volume wise. This is also a time consuming laborious process.
- Last, I make the artwork using Ai. I generate a piece of art, and like the Ai music, I analyze it to see what I need to work/improve upon and I do so. I actually know how to draw and paint so I can fix whatever mistakes the Ai made by drawing it in myself.
