- The music as we know it is about to change thanks to ChatGPT or AI tools similar that can target especially music production. But what does that mean really?

It is not only AI that is changing the game; Fred Again changed the game as well. 🤯 Here is how;
czcams.com/video/ljg29udJ7sA/video.html
For the most part of human history, music was a process, not a product. AI may be able to create musical products, but it can never replace the experience of making music. It's a threat to the music industry, not the music itself.
Yes, that's exactly my thoughts. Culturally however we haven't really understood that music is in essence communication with ourselves first and second with others. If you remove the first part, you are left with the 'music industry'. coca cola isnt producing their soda for their own pleasure, i guess if coca cola was a person it would never wanna see a coke again 😄 Coca Cola is a product. And as you said it every product can be produced by a machine. It's great times where a lot of us will find out that we don't need more products. We need more honest communication with ourselves (not only to save the planet) but firstly to let go of our wrong perceptions. And wanting 'products' is part of that wrong perception. So as an artist, we should try to be less like a machine and more like a living breathing being. And other living breathing Beings will gladly prefer you and your work over any machine. Hopefully! 😄 song tip : porcupine tree - sound of muzak.
this.
Maybe the knowledge gained by music AI will be integrated in a multi spectrum form to the point where AI decides that making music is stupid, and the prevention of suffering and death is more inty.
No one is stopping anyone from making music. The industry is already oversaturated anyways and trying to turn a profit or even get views is and was and always will be difficult.
As a human being, I could probably build a better sandcastle than ants...but why would I bother to?
It was always a product, what do you mean? Music has a hobby takes up a fraction of its history. Even a smaller fraction if we talk about it being with studio grade gear.
Good, the industry should shrivel up and die a slow death.
As a 27 year old, who excactly opnened up Ableton a year ago with no experience what so ever, i really feel like the barrier of entry is quite low. I wanted to learn everything my self, so i have restrained my self for sample packs and etc and channels like this (escpecially yours) has helped so much. However, even though the barriers are low the end result and expectations around it is high. The amount of respect for producers and sound designers i have gotten over the last year is insane. The thought of an AI taking that away from the craft is beyond scary. However i am sure the craft and stories behind artist and feelings of live shows will remain the most important.
Ableton costs 500 dollars and it took being lucky enough to have friends who are IT experts to help me crack Ableton 9 after years of being unsuccessful cracking Ableton 11.
Why do you wanna make music?
AI (or rather, Machine Learning, to be more specific... "AI" is such a broad and overhyped term) will simplify steps in the craft, but it will never replace the art. Think about the craft of painting a realistic portrait, versus the ability of taking a photograph. If you were a 19th century painter and your only skill was to make things realistic,. photography is scary... but it takes artistry to be a great painter, a great photographer, and once photography came along, the creative painters brought us impressionism, cubism, etc. Cameras on their own did not invent new art styles, humans did. Neither will machine learning. Focus on being an artist, and you'll be fine.
@@TheMrKambara Were you not alive during the 90s, early 2000s?
I ask because I thought every person that was slightly an IT person during that time, knows how to find cracks and how to use them.
That, plus burning CDs, is all we had, lol 🙃
@@JustsomeSteve yes, I also remember burning CDs, but I genuinely believe that forums online are genuinely and generally outpaced by the problems of malware and clamp downs on pirating and overall proprietary obstacles to be able to do such things conveniently. Obviously you are probably much more apt at doing such things, for your average layperson such as myself, these sorts of things are much more challenging. As a child I never knew that some CD formats were not capable of being re-burned onto, etc etc.
All which means that being in the same room with a real sax player and a real sax is going to be a unique and surprising experience. Same with real drums. Same with real electric guitar. I continue to hope for a New Jazz Age, where humans make music for other humans, in real time.
Like you I was a musician turned sound engineer. Around 1980 I began to experiment with electro music. Problem was the gear was so expensive. With the advent of the DAW & affordable computers, I was happy being able to combine my skills and afford to do so. I still play analogue instruments but do not have to pay others to record it etc. Ableton suite is an instrument in itself and takes time to get the best from it. I am pleased music is changing on a large scale. It certainly needs too. Stagnation is to be avoided at all costs. Although many have yet to wake up to this fact....Good vid.
That’s why I see kpop music of fusing genres, beats, Melodies, etc. and switch ups into one song as really interesting. In that sense, kpop is very experimental.
As a music producer for over 25 years, experienced AI developer and content creator, I have to say thank you so much for taking the time to bring all these ideas together into this video, you've done an awesome job of communicating your concepts and vision to the rest of us. Big love @Alice, love what you're doing!
Do you agree with the conclusion of the video?
I predict acoustic music made with real instruments will make a big comeback ❤
It never left
Only when played live in person. Otherwise AI can do it better.
Everything is going to be happening everywhere all at once.
@@edfx AI isn’t advanced enough to produce popular music rn
As with all AI, handmade art and real artistry will be even more demand in the future. People will want to know the artist / meaning behind the art, something AI can never provide. There’s a reason you can’t just be good at perfect fake paintings or good at copying someone’s style to be seen as valuable as the original. What will happen is FUNCTIONAL ART will expand into areas that one would have had to pay an artist today. For example already people buy wall art without caring who the artist is they just want something that looks nice. Eventually people will get used to AI images and won’t be impressed just because it’s a good image, good aesthetic images will be everywhere. They’ll be attracted to the true source of art the meaning and the artist behind the artwork. You know that because that’s what it’s like right now. People can take a photo so why would they be attracted to a hyperrealistic drawing? The answer will be the same thing that will happen with AI.
Goosebumps at the end. To be honest, like you said, music have been transforming for years. Drum computers didnt leave drummers out of a job, photography didnt make painting redundant. There is only one me and one you, beautiful words ❤❤
Your photography example doesn't really make sense bro
@@johnnyvishnevskiy8090 when you think about the starting pointing of painting, it was predominantly about capturing whats there. In that sense photo camera is a machine that does it better than anyone can paint.
Another industry that comes to mind is the watch industry, the 1980s was the time of the "quartz revolution" when cheap, reliable quartz watches were becoming more affordable. Traditional mechanical watch makers, like those in Switzerland were terrified, because these new quartz watches were better in every way, they're cheaper, more reliable, more accurate, longer lasting and smaller, it was entirely reasonable for traditional watch makers to be terrified of their industry dissappearing overnight.
However despite the quartz mechanism's objective improvements, mechanical watches continued to maintain a healthy market share, because of the emotional connection that many people have to the handcrafted and analogue nature of mechanical watches, it's similar to the love of vinyl records and analogue synthesisers, there's something fundamentally enjoyable and cool about analogue mechanisms which keeps people coming back.
When it comes to music I do think that AI generative music has the chance to be incredibly disruptive to the industry, but I think it's important to take a step back and ask why we make music to begin with? I personally make music because it's fulfilling to me, it's something that I want to dedicate my life to and I hope that I can leave a mark on the world and inspire people some day, and that won't go away with AI generation, i think that AI's effect on the music industry will be the same as other industries, it will become a useful tool that producers can use to help them save time and effort, do I think that all music producers will one day he replaced with AI bots? Probably not, no.
Ultimately electronic music genres did end up making it incredibly difficult for musicians to make a living. It hasn't been more difficult to be in a band since before jazz was popular. AI will likely have the same effect on human music.
@@onlinescammer8291 I think it's exactly the opposite, personally. Speaking from 20+ years of being in bands and performing - it's never been easier to be in a band and make a living. The gear is better and more accessible; DAWs are widely available, or you can find a studio for almost any budget; $20/year for global digital distribution, and you can print your own physicals after a few minutes of minimal effort on a website; visibility and promotion can largely be handled for free and DIY on social media; save for some post-pandemic rebounding, venues are more abundant and accessible; with Twitch, CZcams, etc, you can put on your show and invite the entire world to watch at the same time; no more grovelling at the feet of record labels and radio stations hoping to sell your soul for some fame and a small percentage of profit from the material you created but will never own again.
I don't think by any means that it's "easy". But it used to be way harder imo. Metal, rock, jazz, world music, and all kinds of genres that are non- or mostly non-electronic are still thriving, arguably moreso than ever, all alongside heavily electronic popular genres. AI will only ever grow as a hurdle, it will never block humans completely.
I became a music composer for the joy of composing. I never think of any software taking away the ability to create. Instead it's helped a lot. I use different softwares to compose music, and create art work. It's been very helpful.
Your content is top notch and so well brought! YOU are on fire, so much time and dedication put in this video and simplified for all crowds, please don't stop what you do it's always impressing :)
I think the alarming issue is how AI will affect sampling in the music industry
i am in agreement with you
@@patrickdenny-pk5ko huh???
loooool
I agree a lot with your conclusion! Art is about expressing ourselves authentically, and no invention can take that away from us because you are the biggest expert in being you. Well put! My view is that I do not believe A.I. in its current form can replace artists either, and here's why I believe that:
While A.I can replicate and build on things, it cannot "feel" or "experience" said things as a phenomena. This is a fancy way of saying that it's not a person that spectates the world, but more like a factory that churns out objects it can't see or feel. What this means is that it needs us to ascribe value to what it created. Humans need to tell the A.I. it made something beautiful or ugly; something good or bad, in order for it to understand how it should reiterate things. It cannot make this judgement on its own, because it is not consciously experiencing the world like us. It needs someone that experiences that for it, to tell it's doing a good job. This is because A.I. in service of us and not in service of itself, or other A.I.'s.
You can make the argument it can learn what we tend to like, but this is not enough for it to replace the artist. What we like develops culturally and within a discourse that A.I. (at least in its current form) cannot participate in, exactly because it does not experience the world like us. This is why A.I. will lower the barrier to entry (like stated in the video), but will not and cannot replace the artist. The artist and the people that listen to music are in that discourse, and therefore constantly pushing boundaries and rediscovering what we tend to like, while A.I. is a reaction to that discourse. One must imagine A.I. like a cart, and humans like the horse pulling it forward. I hope this makes sense to someone out there that's worried about this.
I think an important point to make is that, even if an AI is based on simple algorithms - just like there can be a transcendence or emergence of intelligent creations from an ai, there could also be transcendent consciousness. You don't see consciousness when you look at the smallest part of the brain. You just see electrons. You only know about consciousness because you experience it. There's no telling if the AI has an experience or not, because there will always be a compelling argument for either side of the question.
@Christopher Bradley I've heard of this as well, but I still do not believe it can replace the artist, because they stretch boundaries and explore the zone the A.I. works within. The AI can only work within conventions we have already set out for ourselves, so the artist will not lose his or her function, even if an A.I can create better works than us. To put it more concretely: the A.I is the reproducer, while the artist is the explorer.
How is " create a slow song in the style of Nine Inch Nails, with the song structure complexity of Beethoven and sound design of Noise" expressing ones self authentically?
My first thought when seeing you act out the process of describing how you want the music to sound to the AI was this: if that is going to be possible, then the process of making the music you want will still depend largely on your ability to communicate it clearly. Someone who knows music theory (or at least the vocabulary for a given genre) will still have a tremendous advantage over those who just pluck around. Songwriters will just have a different, maybe even more efficient way, to communicate what they want in their music. Very cool
It won't. You'll just type in one prompt and it'll create a full track. Woo, much skill.
Hey Alice, haven‘t watched your videos for some time and noticed how happy you look since your outing! It takes a lot to make such a change here on youtube, big respect for that. I’m really happy for you, keep up the good work!
Thank you Mark! I guess it is much easier to be happy when you just be yourself ❤️
@@Alice-Efe Thank you Alice, you are helping me with this attitude very much :)
Fantastic video, Alice! You've really upped the game with this one; superb content, beautifully presented and edited! 🙌
Thank you Will! I am enjoying your content as much ♥️
@@Alice-Efe Thank you!
Hey Alice this was the most beautiful video I've ever watched about the AI and music related conversations. To be honest what you've said in the end is all about art and if an expression of your feeling resonates with someone you two will be connected even if you never know about it. Thank you for such great content always. I hope someday our roads cross together to create a unique expression or even a little memory to remember. Be succesful as you are always my brave friend! Much love from Istanbul.
Great info. I am a music producer but I do not use AI. I am bit sceptical about it. What I do I like to do it my self. It takes longer but it is the excitement about it, the time, the process. Well, I hope that music will get better soon and not worst.
The production quality of your videos are really crazy. You put so much work on this, just two words: Thank you. You're a big boost to our community.
I've been making music on computers for the last 20 years, I trained to be a proper Mastering Engineer 10 years ago and it's only from deciding to take this really seriously in the last 5 years that I'm at the point where I am finally loving the sound I'm producing! (But I have extremely high standards where I aim to equal or surpass my favourite mixers and artists and pushing keep myself).
Firsty, let me say, I love your channel - its got fantastic real useful advice and doesn't rely on clickbait "THIS ONE TIP WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE" style videos.
Because the real truth is (as I unfortunately found out from half my life in this game) That music production, mixing and songwriting takes YEARS of practice, theory, ear training, feedback and learning, unlearning, relearning ! 😂 Playing an instrument helps a hell of a lot too!
---------
Soooooooooo... can I ask, regarding this video - are you specifically referring to "Techno" or just high tempo dance music in general..? Because Techno is a very specific style with a lot of sub-genres within in.
It might be better to call these styles of music EDM (Electronic Dance Music) which is a catchall term that covers most faster tempo music - but of course, there are a lot of purely synth based music that is obviously electronic, but not necessarily 'danceable'.
This website is old, but still an awesome interactive chart showing just how much there is going on in the world of electronic music...

Then it doesn't help if you still don't answer the question and ask if I'm joking.
No! I'm not.. what are you talking about!
@@fireacross3249 No worries, man! It's pretty cool isn't it. I found it over 10 years ago, so its not updated often. But I don't think you could put every genre in there because otherwise it would just get silly ! lol
Alice one thing have notice about all the music you have mention is it all is synced to a click track. Not all kinds of music are conducive to being dead on a beat. So I suspect we will still have genre's that will not be affected by these developments.
Great video. I personally think within the next 10 years, we will all have our own general AI instance and it will be able to create personalised content for us. The idea of making music for somebody else will diminish. We will all be listening to unique streams, generated for us on the fly. This won't be just music, it will be books, art and video content as well. The idea of a hit song will be gone, the idea of a hit movie will be gone. Everybody will be addicted to their personalised stream, made just to trigger our own brain. There won't be CZcams, there won't be tik tok, there won't be Spotify. We will just tell our device we want to listen to music, or watch videos and it will make it for us the instant we push play.
Shared experiences will probably still exist, but it will be more like sharing something great that your AI generated with others.
We are on the edge of a very major change. Bigger than smart phones and the internet.
Scary thought
@@gagslovedotcom I've watched the world change as everybody became addicted to dopamine hits from their phones. First Facebook, then Instagram, now tik tok. I've seen people behaving similar to heroin addicts if their phone runs out of battery. That is also scary.
Interesting comment.
I wonder what type of "punishments" that AI will enable?
alongside these great things that it will read our biology and know what we like to be able to produce that for us. It's very dark to think about what would be possible if the intent was not for an individual to experience "positive" emotions, etc. but in fact the opposite of that.
Crazy good and super realistic. maybe not 10 years but quite possibly before our lifetime
This is an incredibly dystopian concept. Essentially our brains will be used only to select and consume. Now that I think about it, for the vast majority of non creative types, this is already the case. They just consume art without thinking.
I feel like (in the worst dystopian multiverse) hard labor isn't automated, but creativity is and it leads to a dark age where this creativity is meaningless.
Of course genuine creativity isn't meaningless, but the majority of creative job positions are there to solve a problem that seems rather mundane to corporations. We have thing to sell: thing needs a logo, an ad campaign, music, motion graphics, video, and a website. The artists responsible for this list of corporate needs have to iterate, and discover the best solution within themselves. They then pull that solution from their minds and into reality (via skills and hard work learned from years of practice), make changes to get it approved, and get paid as little as possible.
Art comes from deep understanding, awareness, and connections all around us. It's the what-if, the exploration of the unknown, and the forging of the unique. It's the first attempts, the growth stages, and the triumphant masterpieces born of lifetime dedication and commitment. Art is knowing what to make, and why it should exist.
My great wish for humanity is that art continues to inspire, when every idea can be made without effort. Effort is the great filter for artists. Why make something subpar, unoriginal, or boring when it takes so much work and skill to do make literally anything? It stops the true artist from making most of the rudimentary ideas and aim higher for something never before made. Artists make the unknown known. The original art of those who came before, building onto each other as the steps of a stairway to heaven. Every step capable of increasing the magnificent heights of human experience, which we have achieved.
Now we have Babel. As the steps are no longer carved of human toil as chiseled marble, but of the mud of nonsense and lazyness. Make it all, make everything! No more thoughtful design, no more toil, it costs nothing. It means... nothing.
Maybe I should write a book about it. But, that would mean I should read books about it, and ensure that it has meaning, and isn't a mindless copy, and that it has a rightful place in the universe. Maybe I won't. Thanks for reading.
I love your perspective on music production and this was a very interesting look into your thoughts about AI generative processes. One thing that I feel that can not be replaced by an AI, is your enjoyment of the process involved. AI is only as good as the influence it recieves, or does it learn...
Yeah good luck trying to make a career or be appreciated for your craft while a 9 year old kid can produce 100 tracks 100x times better than you at 100x the speed. The future indeed sucks.
Fantastic production value, editing, overall presentation, and PACKED with information! Thank you!
Thank you for this and all your videos. I'm also from an AI business for several years now and been trying to produce music too. Since ChatGPT was published, i cannot stop thinking how it will affect the music industry. I think we will shortly adopt a tag signializing Not-AI, i.e., "this stuff is not made by an AI but is done by a human", exactly to convey it contains something unique. AI can create anything we want in a quantum we want, flood us, yet the flooding leads to an inflation, lack of interest and for searching for something unique. At least i hope so. AI is creative, and reasoning it is not is like defening a disappearing island into a sea.
I am personally just looking forward to using AI for the purpose of commanding them to help utilize confusing software such as Ableton.
I've been thinking what if the new avg format in music release will be more towards a improvised live production session wheras people flip ableton live clips, re sample stems or play improvised instrument riffs and perform their thought process rather than a traditional recorded hook/verse or intro/drop dance song.
Sure AI could replicate this same recorded performance too, but if the example of humans still playing chess and watching each other play despite computers being superior players, maybe theres still a market for creators demonstrating this novelty. Albeit a limited one..
Great video as always! My first thought during the "A.I. Production" was: if it learns along the way from Pros what good productions are, it may suggest improvements itself to others in the future: we need some reverb here, try this chord progression, i think have a better pluck sound, you sure about that bass line, lets put some unstable notes there, lets fix this arrangement....i should do a YT Video about writing melodies xD
When AI can make something as mashed and crazy in the same vein as Venetian Snares or Squarepusher then I'll be impressed.
Your time stamp "Hayya yaie yieah yieaaa" had me LOL..
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Subscribed!
This is one of the most inspiring videos I've seen in your channel. I felt so excited when you said that you used to work in engineering and decided to become a musician and producer. It is clear that music is your passion and I'm glad you decided to follow it.
I broadly agree with your conclusions. For the foreseeable future, there will still be a place for human creators. But I do find it kind of frustrating that the big promise of automation was that it would remove the menial tasks and free people up to enjoy less arduous work - and yet, it seems that it is trying to do the enjoyable, creative tasks as well. We need to keep expressing ourselves, it's true, but there is a real danger that we could lose touch with what it means to be human. I never want to have a life where everything challenging and creative is done for me by a machine: that's SO boring... I'd prefer it if machines cleaned my house instead.
So true
It's kind of terrifying that once the world's AIs are sufficiently advanced (displaying more intelligence than humans) they will see things like making music as a menial task. Chess players used to think their game was far too complicated and "beautiful" for machines to be able to master it. It always seemed to be more than a "game" to humans. But nowadays the top AI chess engines find that beating the best humans at chess is a trivial task. I can't help but fear that music and art will go the same way. Computers will simply be better at it than humans, and our creativity will just be a silly hobby that can only be done professionally by robots.
@@AutPen38 I'm not sure I agree with that argument. Chess is a game, and has a definite outcome - this makes it easy to have a simple goal (despite the calculations being complex). Music has a far more vague goal. I was also going to add that humans will enjoy creating music even if they can no longer compete on a commercial basis with machines, but then I realised that this is even more true for chess, in fact. How many humans play chess for money? Just because the best human chess player can never beat the best machine now, that has zero impact on the average chess player who plays against other humans for enjoyment.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that the only danger to music from AIs is the threat to the income of musicians (and I'm not trying to make light of that, it is a serious matter).
Maybe that means we should change the rules of the game to reclaim the creatiivity... maybe it means we simply have to find a way to give up money?
I started listening to the scherzo from Beethoven's symphony X written by AI. I was amazed a machine could do that until I got bored. I know AI can produce patterns based on averages of others. What struck me is the playing around with scales. Beethoven was a master at making something so simple so beautiful. AI producing it is like a novice composer who is technically advanced but with no sense of beauty. I found that same problem with the AI version of the last two movements of Schubert's symphony VIII, the Unfinished. I know AI can't hear music. Maybe it's not necessary. Beethoven was totally deaf when he finished his 9th symphony. It's a question of whether or not AI can ever feel beauty. I did hear an AI pop music piece that has a beautiful melodic fragment. Because it went undeveloped, I figure it was an accident. If that program knew it was onto something it would have created a whole song out of it.
Maybe AI will be good for background music for movies and commercials. It may even push the least talented composers out of the business. Right now techno is popular and it's simple enough for AI to generate. But, once people go on to something else, it'll be all over for that style. Nobody really has an urge to hum any of those melodies.
@@patrickdenny-pk5ko That may be the problem with AI. Beethoven could hear music in his mind after having heard what he was creating before he was deaf. Can AI ever hear music?
That's a problem. I don't know how complicated that process is.
Making music is more approachable than ever. That’s a great thing. These are more tools that the artists can use to make art. Rising tides lifts all boats, not just the amateurs.
Great video!
No, what will be the difference between a 14 year old kid writing a prompt and a 40 year old pro writing a prompt?
Good, and balanced look at how this technology will change the landscape and how we can embrace it. Excellent work Alice! Quality is top notch.
What I look forward to the most in this AI-powered future is that last part: being able to have my songs mixed and mastered in seconds. What an incredible weight to take off my shoulders!
lol
@Cat Vision I agree, but I don't think delegating the work to AI is necessarily in competition with learning what makes a great mix. Personally, I've learned enough to know that it's very hard and time-consuming, but I understand the concepts well and to the point where I'm a better composer and producer than I was when I didn't understand this process. An AI will be more successful mixing and mastering a well thought out piece than a mess with 4-5 different leads, arps and pads all competing for your attention at the same time. So it's not that I'm trying to skip the important lessons, but rather shift my time to what I enjoy the most, which is composing and producing - not mixing and mastering. And I'd like to think that those who understand mixing more deeply are still going to have a huge advantage over less experienced people even in a world where AI does most of the heavy lifting.
yo as someone who learned the entire process from ground zero, please learn how to mix and master because AI will just make your songs sound identical to average.
I see your point but I'm not sure if that is the future to look forward to... Much like other creative jobs, this would make the work of mix/mastering engineers like me useless...and also make musicians and producers (maybe like you) useless, when people find that they can just type out what they want to hear and get that music generated for them probably for free in mere seconds, like demonstrated in this video. But that is where we are heading it seems.
@@Willigrow Absolutely, it'll eventually make us all useless and I don't look forward to that general future more than you do! 😭😂 But I figured if there's one part of the music making process that I'd love to outsource to AI, it would be mixing. Unfortunately I can't afford to hire talented sound engineers like yourself.
Exceptionally well presented. I loved every minute of this video. I feel that some people don't get my music taste. But that is okay, as you so beautifully put it, we are all unique and individual in what we do.
The part where you simulate AI responding to prompts is on point. The idea of being able to stay in a steady creative flow without interruption to implement is powerful. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen out of flow due to hangups with the mechanics of implementing my ideas. To be able to free flow ideas on the fly and get instant feedback will be amazing.
It won't be like that. You'll give it a prompt and then it'll spit out a full song... much skill! wow!
that's what a lot of musicians did back in the days in the studio, a lot of famous "artists" never really came up with anything and had no clue about making songs, just a team of musicians/producers making the song
Maybe in the future creators will all have some kind of AI at their disposal, but their individual uniqueness will come from how they train their AI, what they feed it. But even with the same initial data set, what you do with it will always make a difference. In pottery, for example, everyone is using the same clay, but the results can still be as unique as one chooses (within the limits of the format).
Yes, you are correct that the primary differentiator will be the datasets that are used to train the models. But the datasets required are, by necessity, massive. And the computational power required to process that data and then use the resulting models are insane (OpenAI used a supercomputer provided by Microsoft that was the 5th most powerful supercomputer on earth to train its GPT models, and it spends tens of millions a year on the server farms needed to operate those models.)
But let's just assume that compute costs become infinitely lower over time and anyone can train and run the models on a basic PC. That still leaves the datasets. Those are were acquired almost for free by OpenAI, because they were originally a non-profit and given access to huge libraries of knowledge for "research" purposes, and because they scraped millions of websites, blogs and forums. But now that the world has seen the potential and value of these models, and the scale of intellectual property they require to train, those datasets are basically guaranteed to get much much more difficult to acquire.
My point here is that the barrier to entry for *using* AI products will be very low, the barrier to entry for creating original models capable of decent results will likely remain high.
To me, AI generated music isn't that far different from sampling. People were making experimental music and music concrete back then trying to record different things on tape and manipulating that tape to create some weird sounds. The difference, however, is that I couldn't find something fun about generating music. I know how to play the piano, but I use a DAW as well, and when it comes to sampling, I only use samples for kick drums, hats, snares, etc., but never use melody or bass samples, because I'd much prefer to compose something that comes from me and not AI. So again, if you use AI generated audio for samples, then this really isn't much different then what's being done today. As for new so-called music producers or musicians, I think people should still learn music theory.
using it feels exactly like sampling.
Not sure if AI could make music for a kpop group like NCT127…that group has experimental music and it’s fantastic. It’s complexity might give AI problems…lol
@@inquisitvem6723 I think if AI can find a sound, it might be capable of reproducing it. For example, if you use the ChatGPT and want to get a voice from say the President or whoever, it could reproduce his or her voice fairly simply, whereas if you were to try to get a voice of someone who is singing, then it sounds weird because it's trying to reproduce voice in a musical way and the notes from the singing might not line up properly.
I think there's an interesting contrast between AI generated music and AI generated art. One isn't entirely against it and the other is.
Thank you, exactly what I expected when reading the title
" have been making ai pictures now for one month and - boy! - did i have a blast at unleashing so much visual conceptual creativity i never thought I actually had in my brain" You didn't. You just typed stuff in a generator and the AI popped stuff out. You don't have any talent in the craft.
“Thank you Master” That’s how it must be.
AI created art and music cannot be given a copyright. Yeah, but how can anyone tell the difference? The AI needs data on the input side to create an output that goes along with what you are trying to create and this can create a real legal mess when you try and claim copyright especially if the AI is fed data you don't have license to... The real truth is, AI is not as great as people think it is. AI is only as good as the data used to feed it and, "garbage in is garbage out." And regardless of how good AI eventually becomes it still needs humans to input data, categorize it, score its output while guiding it towards a human goal. And if you already have a goal or just the general idea of what you want to create you might as well just go through the process and create it yourself because at least then you can actually own the copyright! Best thing to do is to use the AI to help you find the creative pieces you need or have it help you find your own creative process. If everyone just has the AI do all the work for them and the output gets fed back in to the input then the output will eventually just get worse and worse until we're all living in a true idiocracy.
Live instruments and voice will never be replaced. I grew up on techno and metal and lots of "fake" music as my dad calls it. I play the same songs on hand drums, banjo, and i throat sing now. My relationship with music became religious and now I'm concerned people aren't boycotting big music.
It's one of the main reasons I like Uplifting/Orchestral/Emotional Trance! It's so much more complex, and beautiful than techno, and tend to use real instruments! Check out producers like SoundLift, Andy Blueman, Dan Stone, James Dymond, etc. Also regarding this AI- I always have ideas in my mind for tunes, but don't really have the time to learn the programs and such, so something like that would be fun to play with :)
even if you do boycott big music, it doesn't matter, you aren't their primary customer nobody is, other businesses are. they will support each other and we can all go to hell as far as they are concerned.
@@bryant475 holy geese that’s exactly how I feel 🤣 I LOVE THOSE GENRES!
AI vocals are already getting good though
@@jonc8561 ...and?
This is REALLY cool, (and I absolutely LOVE the beats this program created!) I just wish I knew enough about computers myself to actually be able to use this kind of thing myself, because I've followed "techno" ever since the very beginnings of it in the US in the late 80's, and I still love it and what all it has developed into today, because (now referred to as EDM as a whole) just keeps getting better and better and more diverse in styles all the time!... Ever evolving, which is one thing that is so cool about it!...
But so, even though I most definitely know what a totally awesome beat sounds like in my head or whenever I hear one, unfortunately I wouldn't ever be able to actually produce sounds like this myself with any computer, because you gotta know at least the basics of how these programs work, AND what exactly to tell it and what buttons to push and in what order on your computer's keyboard to make it actually work the way you want it to, lol!
THAT has ALWAYS been my problem with computers. I never have been able to figure out exactly what buttons to push and in what order to make a computer do anything useful for me at all... I've never really even used a computer for ANYTHING even remotely close to this type of thing, basically ONLY for looking up stuff online on the internet, like an old skool encyclopedia, but that is as far as my computer operating ability goes...
And even just THAT much is ONLY after someone else shows me the exact button sequence to get onto the internet. If I ever use ANY OTHER or a new computer than the one I was used to using, then I have to RE- learn whatever exact button sequence for that new computer in order to do the same thing, and each new computer I try to use also always takes me about a year to get used to doing that basic stuff on, and the same thing with my cellphone, that's why I absolutely HATE having to "upgrade" or change phones because it's "outdated" or whatever! (That's just annoying to me!)
But I still love listening to the MANY different styles of EDM that others have created! I always will, no matter how "old" I get! (I am almost 50 rn.)
What a super informative and well-produced video... thank you!
Great video. AI definitely will replace some parts of the music industry but live performing instruments will never be replaced. And I will still support my fave artists because I love seeing the progression of musicians and I don’t want to listen computer at pub or concert hall :D
I rarely comment but I wanted to take a moment to say that I really really enjoy your content.
The quality of production and information you put out are absolutely amazing! Thank you for everything ❤
This is the first video I've seen of yours. It moved along quickly, I felt you were speaking to me, great information at the perfect pace. Subscribed.
I've invested about ten years into dabbling with audio stuff in both FL and Ableton.
To me, the lowering of the barrier to entry is simply GOLD.
And by gold, I mean, it's nice to have all of these potential newcomers entering the scene.
I'd love to see automatic and fitting generation to the other content that people put out nowadays.
Future looks bright from here!
How does it look bright??
Thank you for this video, Alice! Let's face it: things are going to change. They always were, but once in a decade or century the changes are drastically. Now, this is evolutionary, so we cannot undo it - as with so many things: it has at least two sides of it.
One is that there are tasks in science, engineering, even in handling data that cannot evolve without AI. And if we really want to understand complex proteins, physical models (or test them) we need means to be able to achieve them in very short time periods. Otherwise we'll face a very time consuming process, or maybe a process that will have no output.
Technology is a great catalysator, and yes, these impacts will not be limited to science, engineering, and things like that exclusively. We will find all sorts of new ways of achieving things.
Now I know, we don't want to lose that "human element". And than I take a look back at human history: when Photoshop showed up, some people blieved we would see less and less "human made art" - look at what people can do with a pencil here on youtube! It is amazing! When photo cameras came up, some people thought it was the end of man made art. And then there was Picasso, Dali, and a lot more way after the invention of the photo camera.
Now, music is one of the earliest "inventions" of us humans. Our means to create it may have changed, but the urge to make music did not. So what if AI is taking over and makes music? Will it mean that no one will ever pick up an instrument again? That we'll suddenly lose our interest in being creative? I am ver sure the answer to these questions is: NO!
Last but not least: the AIs we are facing currently are quite bulky and primitive in contrast to what we can expect in maybe ten or five years! Sooner or later it may happen that an AI really will be self aware, a real artificial intelligence, a species besides us. Maybe even a next step in evolution? We better get used to the thought, and get our shit together right now.
We may not like it, even fear it. But things change. As soon as you're born you're in that roller coaster of life. The only exit is leaving the party, and to be honest: I am much too curious! Don't let fear take over, embrace the possibilities!
Cheers :)
Spam. This is so naive its not even funny. Peoples dreams and hopes of creating art that is valuable is shrinking.
@@jonc8561 Apologies on my behalf: please, what exactly is "so naive"? And are you talking about "monetary value" in the first place? Not so sure about your intentions.
i remember when i tried first midjourney and was mindblown, had a lot of fun with that... i was never posting anything of the ai art because it was not feeling like mine.. and its not.. i hope that AI-Generated music will be flagged as that... i completely understand when artist are super mad if they are creatíng over years theire unique signature style and some noobs with no skills coming and just tell an AI: Make me banger Techno track in the Style of Stephan Bodzin...
I definitely recognise the feeling of "that's not really my work" you get when you work with an AI. I got an empty feeling when I used Ozone's mastering assistant. I felt even emptier when I tried some compositional tools. Part of the fun of creativity comes from the "work" you do and the struggles you have on the journey. It's not very satisfying to just click a couple of buttons to confirm you're happy with an AI's suggestions.
But it's unstoppable. People subscribe to this channel partly because they want to learn the shortcuts to making techno bangers like Stephan Bodzin. This channel won't even need to exist when the AI is implemented in plugins or directly in the DAW. Humans are lazy. We will click the 'cheat' button even if it ultimately makes us feel empty. If AI helps people make things quickly and more easily, you can bet it will be widely adopted, even if the downside is that we ultimately end up feeling less human ourselves.
The whole creative part of making music is the most fun .
Especially with a guitar
Interesting! I agree. I think digital home recording has allowed everyone to make quality recordings. And I believe everyone who wants to make music should have that option. It's one of the best parts of life. It's for everybody
Electronic music didn't replace bands and acoustic instruments. I was at my first metal concert last year, and no DJ can reproduce that level of mastery the band performed on stage. The same goes for AI. It's a new player, but it won't kill artistry.
It very much did, though. Only the upper echelon of bands and musicians make a living, and even they often only barely make one. That's what AI will likely do regarding all human input.
And what do you think about producers/mixing engineers?
@@onlinescammer8291 mmmh musicians/bands not making a living has nothing to do with electronic music, but rather with the evolution of music distribution, which went from physical sales, to illegal/legal downloading, and now to streaming mostly (and it's platforms like Spotify that are making tons of money off of musicians' work while giving them pennies).
Also after the trend of electronic music in the 90s, there was a massive revival of guitar (and generally more "raw") music & soul-ish/imperfect singing in the 2000s, because people got tired of techno beats & robotic/processed voices.
Personally I don't give a fuck about AI, people can use it if they want, I'll keep on making and distributing my music, with my little following, because I fucking love the whole process. I love seeing people vibing to creative choices that I've made. I would never want AI to make those choices for me. If others do, it's their problem, not mine. It's not like the music industry hasn't been fucked for decades. Consuming music already costs next to nothing, yet people (even in the generation Z) still pay money to see concerts, support artists they like with donations or buying merch, etc.
So I don't think AI will replace artists, on the other hand, the "type beat" producers, who make super generic beats mostly with loops, are fucked
@@kotamin6740 it did have something to do with electronic music. when the "evolution" of distribution happened, it greatly favored music with the least overhead. forms of music that could best cope with that race to the bottom were the ones that survived.
AI is going to create an even greater financial crunch for artists.
it'll kill bank accounts though. No longer will Music be a profession
Who else needs Abby the AI in their life? 🤖
Maybe, actually right now I'm conflicted:
1. It would be really nice if it worked like that
2. I really like exploring and creating music. It would be playing a game on autopilot, where would the fun be and the exceptional achievements?
So a bit of both
@@jackgolden5006 I think many of us feels the same.
Abby would be fun but I'm sure Alice would be more fun. SudoWrite and other tools are doing a great job in novel writing, like having a room of postgrads offering up ideas. Great video as always.
Sorry but I dont. When it gets to easy it will lose the meaning. If its easy and there are no filters, the people that shouldnt make music will start (companys, politicions etc.) The can juse the get there agenda across, and because its easy to make something good its hard to spot.
Finily the artists lose there power, so that the critical voices can be controlled. Brave new world.
:/
@@lunipan I dont think it will lose any meaning... you can still make the song exactly how you want. And companies already make all the music they need, that wont really change lol. Only thing that changes is that our skills as musicians will become a bit more useless
I can't find anything about ai in ableton anywhere online except for this video :(
Wow the production quality on your videos is insane 🎉🎉🎉 congrats and amazing video hooked from beginning to end. Now where can I get ABBY 😅
Everyone being able to make art is great. The problem is that AI cheapens our skills and makes it even harder for artists to make a living under capitalism.
It's not the music that interests people, it's the artist himself, the story behind it... And nothing will replace a live show from a band we love....
Several people I know have said that the best live show they've seen for years was the ABBA show that used holograms of the performers. And if you go to a big festival, you'll see 50,000 people dancing to the music coming from a DJ's laptop. Younger people in particular don't care if the person on stage is playing live, or even if they are human. A holographic version of Michael Jackson or Prince could sell out arenas just as fast as Taylor Swift.
@@AutPen38 Also, youngsters today don't care to listen to music at it's best. Seldom do I find a stereo system in my friends kids houses. Asking them they will say they have the system on their TV or a single speaker system or even their phone for listening pleasure. Quality isn't the remit. I have paid thousands of ££££'s on buying the best listening equipment that I can afford since I was older enough to earn, the idea being to listen to the captured sound of an artist as true in detail as is possible. I also took an interest in how the 'album' was produced, the additional musicians called in for the sessions and even who the producer was. I wasn't interested in who they were dating, what new clothes they were wearing or what car they were driving and how much money they had made that week. The days of the Beatles writing abilities have gone forever. The strange thing is, those very same kids are finding the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac etc and loving it and seem to appreciate it more than their usual artists. AI is here, it will develop, but can we learn from it? Or is all the learning done from the AI side?
so wrong...Im interested in the song, not who sings it
@@SuperMax_____0.0_____ great!
This is not true. People just like hearing music they think sounds good. Don't be naive.
The AI that I've heard about for music, has been with plug-ins. I think it will be applied do to what we have a need for, like with plug-ins. It will make mixing and mastering easier. If AI music comes out, I think it'll be more of a novelty, rather than taking over what we listen to and watch. If implemented correctly, it could have results like we've seen over the past 40 years with MIDI.
I like this angle!
I'm sure it'll get way crazy and A.I. will make all the music for certain genre, however there's always a backlash. I can see old-school organic bands making a huge resurgence shortly there after when everyone gets tired of feeling artificial. Ironic that us humans have made the transition easy for A.I. by letting the sound of electronic music become the norm.
I love your take on how AI is gonna change the music scene. I work with AI and I totally agree. Great video as usual ❤👏🏻🙏🏼
Sounds like the soulless crap produced produced by humans for 40 years.
There will be real music, produced by real musicians and then there will be this.
Amazing video, Alice! Loved it!
Great edit work (except maybe a few pops left near the end of the video). Your effort to keep the viewer attention through rhythm and pattern switchs is impressive 🙏
personally I believe that your conclusion is quite naive to say the least... AI wont have any problems to mimic that "uniqueness" and "expressiveness".
Like of course I'd still have the music for myself if thats what you mean. But then just noone will listen to it.
It is exactly what I think it will happen as well (Mentioned in the video as well). AI will have no problem with "uniqueness" and "expressiveness" or converting other experiences into music.
But you will have your uniquness, that is what I meant in the end.
And isn't art just that? Your unique expression of your emotions, experiences etc. And nobody can take that away.
I rarely follow this channel, but everytime I do I'm blown away by the production quality.
That clip of Bodzin losing his mind is one of my all time favorites
I’ve watched your content for a long time, and I must say, the production standard of your content is outstanding 👏 😊
AI....what a boring way to work. I guess music can't get any worse than it already is.
You are horribly wrong about AI. It will replace musicians and industry, business and entertainment will turn to AI to replace the creative process. The music industry is more than just music. There are sound designers, special effects designers, mastering engineer's. All of it. All of it will be gone in due time as Business cut's the jobs.
The music industry like many other industry's will have a collapse in the job market. The quality of AI output will be better and the time saved for production will be only hours instead of months. In music the bloat of producer's will increase as many people use ai and produce more and more music. Ultimately it is a race to the bottom as the market of consumer's is flooded with 200X more music to buy with new music hitting the market 200X in a weekly cycle. Artists will get lost in the ocean of music making discoverability an impossible task.
None of this bodes will for artists. It's not a positive moment by any measure and the gravity of what's about to happen is beyond staggering. Artists and musicians are already a financially a poor class of people and it's about to get much much worse. The idea of just find another job is not going to be an option as AI is doing the same thing to hundreds of other industry's and micro business. Opportunity is drying up and the idea of evolve or die will be a saying that means nothing.
AI will just evolve faster.
Fans of dark humour will enjoy watching CZcamsrs that specialize in music production tutorials suddenly pivoting to tutorials on how to use AI to make music, and then before they know it they'll be replaced by AIs that make videos that are far more popular than the ones made by humans. The robots are coming for everyone's jobs. Musicians, artists, producers, CZcamsrs. All gonna disappear.
Great video, very informative on a number of levels. Excellent work Alice!
But but but what is this amazing level production?¿????
Thank you for such an awesome piece of content Alice. Enjoyed the message, and loved the edition.
Thank you! ❤ Props goes to my editor as well. 😊
The issue with making music so easy to create is it eliminates the journey. The ability to see what u r capable of. It grows your soul your mind it gives a true skill.
Yes it's nice to let everyone express themselves easily but it stunts growth. If u can achieve a basic simple song that's ok it will make u so proud but when u have to work your way there u build yourself.
This level of accessibility to me is more like a game. Like "figure out the puzzle to make it sound good". But all the ability and tones and stuff is all from the computer. And I love electro music. So don't call me a hater. I just fear ppl that song quality will go down severely. We will have even MORe average musicians. Think of how.boring uninspired and predictable all popular music is today? Imagine if we keep on this path how soulless and contrived will things become.then?
Are average musicians standing out now? This won't change that
@@mc9723 id say its the possibility for average people to become great given enough creative time. Taking away MOST peoples motivation will inherently ruin potential creative ventures later in our societal future. Making a new genre may be even harder given the way Learning models work for AI.
I'm a 17yo producer today and I dream that I could have an AI that perfectly mimics my style to replace me whenever I retire after some decades so that "I" could release music forever
Amazing content and the best perspective to AI art! I see tons of artists complaining about this topic and feeling threatened - I will send them this video's link next time :) I love the name Abby btw! Ableton should consider that haha
I loved the open-minded perspective in this video and the clear examples you used, made and showed. I also really enjoy the comments and community. It's very calm and informative. Personally I jumped into the air when I learned about a Mastering AI. I'm an independent artist and already do all kinds of stuff myself including writing, singing, rapping and producing and am very intimidated by the wide, complicated field of Mastering tracks. I don't have the money to pay an audio engineer and it's not a field I'm particularly interested in learning and literally mastering. I believe that if humans stick together with other humans it will give us a bit of "safety" from AI. Working with other creatives just has to be more attractive than outsourcing to an AI. E.g. recording artists, producers and audio engineers hassling about money less and focusing on fusing each others visions and talents together.
Agreed.
AI may be able to mix crap together, and use "special" algorithms to make it "more audibly appealing", but it doesn't compare to a genuine instrument, or real vocals. It only takes away the very thing that makes music what it really is.
I really like the content of your channel Alice! Your style is great! Also, you are a great teacher! Loves from Turkey!
Interesting viewpoint, thanks for posting this. I hear what you're saying about the positives, and that's cool for some people...but for me the joy of making music comes in a big way from my (and other humans I might collaborate with) personal creation of it and the actual work that goes into it. Computers have helped my career dramatically as far as speed/efficiency over the years and AI is a welcome help there, but I still want to do all of the actual creating, writing, and producing. The EXPERIENCE of actually making that art (and the knowledge/learning of how to do that) is where it's at for me and all of the artists I know and work with; that's where my happiness doing it comes from and is why AI doesn't interest me in the way you've shown it here. That's just me, though!
On another note, I know more than a few graphic artists who have seen dramatically sharp declines in work over the past 5 or so years, and even more so when the recent AI art advances came about. So the fear professional artists (and so many other professions) have isn't unfounded. Strange world we're in these days, for sure!
There’s a reason the blues, jazz, funk, hip hop and techo came from one people and in some cases one literal place like Detroit being important. The music was a human response. But let’s aee
this is an incredible video. 100% my fave channel atm
Very interesting video. Thanks a lot! In my case, I learned that beauty comes with variety. And I think that these emerging technologies are going to, like you said, change a lot in how people will develop and create art. This is going to be really exciting! 🙌 Thanks again!
yeah, writing a prompt in to create a full track? how is that exciting? where is the craft?
Btw, I feel like everybody forgot that FL Studio is Fruity Loops: the most basic software to create a "song" (like paint compared to Photoshop). It hasn't changed too much and now it's considered a DAW. So maybe AI will still in use but not with the same results as a full creative process.
One of the music styles I am very curious to know how AI might create is ambient/noise/experimental. In general I think that AI will have the ability to create complex structured music although I also have a feeling that there are certain nuances of the art and material that humans can create that might not be completely comprehendible or created in certain ways or contexts, especially if it is recorded material, but I am not sure of course this is all theoretical. I do see AI having an added benefit to the workflow of all art in general so I don't see it as a threat, expression is expression no matter how it is being portrayed or made. :D
i see a posibility that there will be powerfull AI's which will make one time music performences.
Craft is important and AI threatens to take this all away from humans.
Holy crap- pretty crazy stuff! Been producing using Ableton Live for a year or so and this is both very un-nerving and somehow enlightening. Thanks for the vid! Good work.
I Love Your Presentation. Instantly Subscribed! Hello from Canada.
Welcome aboard!😊
Interesting view on AI. It certainly can produce content which fits in with existing trends but I have my doubts as to whether AI is anywhere near being able to create using an original or random approach as people do. Theory and analysis are OK but the human element is what stops things getting stale in my opinion.
I think people who produce purely to make money may be in trouble, robots will be able to do it cheaper and the industry will exploit this to it's full money making potential. Authenticity and people who make music just for the joy of making music will always be there and still be creative. I don't think this is neccessarily a bad thing though.
Hi Alice, I didn't expect the focus of this video to be techno. This was a great way to explain how AI has changed music production. This video made me laugh quite a bit. Needless to say, I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you! =)
Thank you! 🙏
Love your conclusions!
I think all the art from everyone matters.
Was the a.i. your working with actually real or just a example how it could be in the future?
the irony of "authenticity" is amazing here! even the closest imitation will never, ever be the same as the real deal. Bravo!
Video suggestion: How to back-up your plug-ins and stuff so that you can restore it in case of hardware failure.
I back up my songs and projects on a regular basis just like I do with my photos, videos and documents.
But what I wondered was:
I installed a huge bunch of stuff of which I sometimes forgot where I got it. If now my computer failed and I would have to reinstall Ableton from scratch, it would probably remember which Ableton things I had installed. Can I just backup my VST64 folder? Is that enough? Do I need to save and backup all the installation files of plugins, racks, presets or sample packs or is there a better way to backup the whole installation with all its settings and installations? How does a professional handle this?
Very interesting. And consider this: There's no need to paint since photography was invented. Still we do. There's no need to play an instrument, because plugins sound so real. Still we do. It's just like you say: It's about EXPRESSING ourselves. If there's be a straight to the brain interface that'd extract my musical ideas and turn them into a ready mix - I'd love to do so, but it'd still be me. On the other hand: I like using my hands. I like playing the synth. I like playing the guitar. I like introducing my personal imperfection and randomness. Sure, AI will change the world. But people will still need to express themselves. Just like painters more than 150 years after the invention of photography :-D
Hello,
It's an incredible vision, I understand what you want to express and I agree with you, since my childhood I always thought that the expression, through the music, the text, the atmosphere was something extremely powerful, as they say in France "music softens morals", I hope the translation is good, and thank you, great idea, editing and video!

I think your right about this. even for my preferred music heavy metal, there's already videos of procedurally generated ai djent. djent is kinda like a sub-genre of heavy metal but more of a certain type of sound in heavy metal. This ai stuff is crazy.
I’m in the wavelength. I’m a software engineer that has been making the shift to music over the past half year and have come up with an interesting project to further advance the scary ai of the future in a way I can benefit from. Watching this video was like ah yeah probably on the right track. No pun intended. ❤ great content. I got into your channel when looking for beat plugin packs to purchase for Black Friday after gearing up over the last few months. Thank you!! I also started with intent based language understanding models in mid 2010s and know that my sr DevOps role will be replaced to a degree in the near future ultimately driving my income for this down and my appetite for it the same.
No AI will create music like Ryo Kawasaki can, music that moves the soul.
train it on Ryo Kawasaki and it will
Beautiful video and analysis of this emerging tech, thank you
Thank you very much, I am Big Data Engineer (I'm 23 years old) and I always wanted to have different income sources in case I would not be able to make money from music (Im mostly piano composer so transition to electronic music producer is a quite challenge for me). Know I do see why your videos are soo good and data-driven 😊 I don't want to be nosy, but could you give us any comparison if you can make that much money from music like you used to doin your previous work? Just curious, beacuse my goal is to work as data engineer and when finally my music go viral ( my music teachers and friends tells me my music is masterpiece) I would stop working in 9-5 job. Thank you for all your great work on this channel, you really helping me ( I am watching your all old and new one videos since I had clicked on your channel).
Wish you best!
Mike
