  1. Well if I can't share, lets do this another way.  Whatever happened to appreciating music in all its forms?  "OverClocked ReMix is a community dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of video game music as an art form."  But does that not extend to EVERY form of music, either human or machine? Why are we segregating music now?

     

    I found this on the subject, and it goes over everything A.I.   I think AI music is still in Stage 2 according to this.  https://www2.datainnovation.org/2023-ai-panic-cycle.pdf

  2. Another example.  Windchimes.  Those have no human involvement at all, so according to what I've been hearing on this thread, it'll be frowned upon to simply record windchimes and release it as some kind of new age album, simply because you merely recorded them?   Same thing here, if a bit different example.   I know that this example doesn't deal with human recorded works, but one could argue that if a passage in that album SOUNDS LIKE another person's work, your CD/album could get shot down.  "'Chimes of Destiny' sounds like 'a certain song'.  I'm suing you."   I think this legal challenge has no merit, on the basis of fair use.  They train on it sure, but they don't KEEP the source training.

    Edit:  Another thing I forgot about.   This song I've attached was just made by Udio.  BUT NOT BY ITSELF.   I had to listen to 32 second chunks and actually CHOOSE which I wanted to include with the song.   The lyrics were generated by Claude, and even then I had to copy it, and paste the lyrics into the interface.  It took like an hour, so there is still very much the human element involved.   I'm sorry if anyone here hates country music....hehe

     

  3. I don't agree with Darkesword.  I'll just put this here:

    Training AI on existing music would be akin to a modern artist using the same types of paints that Leonardo da Vinci used, or any other artist for that matter.  It's not the tools or the inspiration that define originality, but what's done with them.

  4. Just thought I'd drop by to let you know of an issue I found regarding the 50% requirement for a song to dominate the majority of a remix.  I was listening to game soundtracks on YouTube when I came across one of my favorite tracks. (note this may apply to others as well)

    The main theme of this is 42 seconds long.  Now here's the Link Between Worlds version.

    There's an extra little bit in this one that goes from 0:42 to 1:05, which is 23 seconds long.  Here's where the problem comes in.  You can completely omit the extra part of the latter, and still be over the 50%, since 42 seconds dominates the majority of 65 seconds, or somewhere around 66%.  So in this case, judgewise, which is a remix of which?  as stated this effect may be there in other songs too.

  5. Did the mix in question here -

    http://ocremix.org/community/topic/41927-no-final-fantasy-1-dawn-of-souls-chaos-temple-2014-djbny-club-rmx/

    - sound like any of the other stuff on his Soundcloud?  GREAT call if so.  What I heard was EXTREMELY hot and overcompressed.  It has that one on there too.  and I agree with the muddiness, and well some of the synths are just..."boring"...and yep the repetitiveness in there.   And dat transition at 1:50...sounded like a rush job to the extreme.  

  6. I play a dulcimer, and I have made this sound accidentally before, but I need to know how to make it deliberately, it's the very last simultaneous 2 notes in this remix.  This is a guitar but you could make it with any stringed instrument apparently.  Probably wouldn't be able to with nylon strings though, I dunno.
