    the predictions concept section is awesome, completely created a whole new cognitive pathway with music interaction. Jam sessions with AI DAW, removing the 2D screen - it could be a virtual interface with AI Daw personification of whom ever you would prefer to jam with

  • @sounflowdjproducer7294
    @sounflowdjproducer7294 16 дней назад

    as I continue to listen through this interview, I'm pretty interested in testing this new DAW style out. I'm not concerned about have 3rd VST's, often distractions with the creative flow. This feels more like the first stage of the creative idea process, building a pallet of ideas and potentially new arrangement idea's

  • @sounflowdjproducer7294
    @sounflowdjproducer7294 16 дней назад

    Maybe Ai can be introduced into DAW as modular applications, where its not changing the infrastructure of the DAW but learn how its primary function is best utilised with each producer or artist

  • @sounflowdjproducer7294
    @sounflowdjproducer7294 16 дней назад

    been producing for years, and wondered, when AI became more visible on the global front, will it be used to help with our work flow as producers. I'm sure this would keep the flow in creative arrangements, idea's, less tweeking, and maybe learning your personal signature style

  • @technofeeliak
    @technofeeliak Месяц назад

    Blah blah blah... I didn't imagine... blah blah blah... I could make money, everyone has money, give me money... blah blah blah. Look, I'm glad for you. How many people do you really think could do this themselves? It takes connections. You could have all the talent in the world but remain unknown. The six degrees of separation. I just got a job in a studio. It was offered to me because I'm autistic. They need someone who focuses in a maniacal way on details. I had purchased equipment from them, and kept contact with one of their salesmen. I feel like this whole thing is a big favor, and I feel like I'm owing to them. But without a connection they would still have a position opened and no one to fill it... and I would be doing some minimum wage job. I believe strongly that to be successful in anything you first have to have a spark. Then you have to keep feeding your passion, and work tirelessly. You should also be with people who are like you. Because those who aren't will discourage your efforts. And they won't offer any input that's constructive. Those who've raised their status in society owe it to their circle of friends and family. That's how it always works. No one pays themselves from the money printed from their own money press. So... work... and others will see you working... then connect with those who do what you want to do. That's what I understand from this video along with my own experiences. What I don't like is how many people online talk about get rich quick schemes. Imagine an entire generation that is getting into the work force, who are considering their prospects and are left disappointed. So many disheartened young people who believed that everything was possible and only required them to dream. You're talking about your own personal experiences. Ever hear that location is of paramount importance? Location, relative to a source. And to be a competent musician isn't simple. To be a great musician is uncommon. So many have come and gone as one-hit-wonders. How many Beatles have their been? Slapping a beat together is something most of us can do with spoons and a microphone. But what are the standards? Tell me what the standards are. Give me something to work with. If you speak in terms of childish dreams you're doing this new generation a huge disservice. Because they're already grasping for straws as their inheritance is being squandered and handed to anyone who's willing to buy it up.

    • @TrevBarnes
      @TrevBarnes 2 месяца назад

      Hey there! It's a very real possibility, especially as I continue to build my network and report with music production companies. There's a projects I've been fortunate enough to submit demos for that are literally worth half of my current salary, for a single project. The potential is 100% there, it just takes alot of focus, patience, and relentless resilience

    • @joeypeterson3818
      @joeypeterson3818 2 месяца назад

      @TrevBarnes Awesome! Thank you for the insight. Even though I'm in the course and seen the interviews of composer doing this full time, there's always this small thought in the back of mind that says "those are the more talented, lucky people. The actual possibility of making this a full time job is probably pretty slim." But you have reignited my drive to going and pursue this with your response so thank you for that as well. Btw, I liked this video and look forward to seeing you more often on here

    This industry will be demolished by AI. It is better to make your own music with your own unique voice rather than something easily replaced by AI instrumentals.

    • @Zee.Co.
      @Zee.Co. 3 месяца назад

      I actually agree that having your own unique voice is better than doing something AI could do. But if you go to our music production company's website and think our reel could be "easily replaced by AI instrumentals," then you'd be the first.

  • @musicalexcursions
    @musicalexcursions 3 месяца назад

    Hi Tommy. Do you recommend creating a reel of variety or separate reels for different applications? Thanks!

    • @Zee.Co.
      @Zee.Co. 3 месяца назад

      Depends on what you mean by "different applications." If you want to make music for brands and you make rock music and electronic music, I'd put them in the same reel. But if you want to make music for commercials and make music for video games, these are different industries with different expectations, so I'd keep them separate.

  • @user-fi4yd2kf6g
    @user-fi4yd2kf6g 3 месяца назад

    There is one thing that I can't understand - why is it that the multi billion companies invest crazy money in advertising but the music composer only has one or two days to create the score? It doesn't add up. Or perhaps I misunderstood everything.

    • @joeypeterson3818
      @joeypeterson3818 3 месяца назад

      I am actually someone in the course. While I am personally still improving my craft to get it to a level so I can approach music houses, I believe the reason is in the chain of how a commercial gets put together, the music is the very Last thing to be taken care of. Personally, I think that comes from the fact that creative/artistic types aren't given the same level of seriousness even by the people who it's for

    • @Zee.Co.
      @Zee.Co. 3 месяца назад

      While it does feel like us composers are always squeezed for time, truthfully, everyone in the process is having to move quickly. The brand has quotas they're trying to hit. The agency has the brand breathing down their neck. The film production companies and music houses have the agency breathing down their necks. Then, the music houses might hound the composers for time. And after the music is done, there's still more post-production (color grading, sound mix, etc.) These brands are investing their "crazy money" into paying the quickest and sharpest creatives in the world. It can definitely be high-intensity, but the best thrive in it and are paid well

    • @Zee.Co.
      @Zee.Co. 3 месяца назад

      Only time will tell what happens next. What I can say is AI music isn't there yet. It's too inflexible. No AI is scoring to picture. It can't really respond to revisions in a meaningful way either. AI image and video generation has existed for years longer than recent AI music generators, and that hasn't really taken the advertising industry by storm either 🤷

    Tommy, thank you for this video! This sounds like exactly what I may need. I’m a talented musician/songwriter with no direction. it’s the strongest skill that I possess and there’s nothing else I’m passionate about in this world but it’s seemed so pointless thus far. I’ve played guitar for many years and have come up with so many great ideas but a career in the arts has seemed like a pipe dream? A couple years ago I went through all the trouble of writing and recording new material using Logic Pro X, signing up with Songtrust and distributing through Distrokid. It went absolutely nowhere because I didn’t lift a finger in terms of marketing. In fact, I hate dealing with the business side of it, I just want to make music. I’m going to start with your free training and hoping that sheds some light on my dilemma.
