Hello Mr w4I, another great DnB show! While I think your mixing, trackchoice and overall performance is highest standard, I noticed something I need to voice. The opening tracks of your past shows are clearly with Mrs Suno standard Ai voice. And while it sounds catchy and appealing first at some point you are recognizing this AI voice all over the place in all genres. And I think we as DJs should honestly ask ourselves if we should support generic Ai produced vocals with generic shallow lyrics. And I donβt mind using Ai as a tool in production. I just donβt like complete generated big chunks of without the art and oversight of humans in the loop. Hope you donβt mind my feedback here, nothing against your art, big up!
No I don't mind at all and I appreciate your comment. You are correct. These tracks are easy to spot and I am noticing them also and it has crossed my mind as well. It is a subject that needs careful consideration. I am so glad that you brought this to my attention and that you noticed it in my previous mixes. I want to know what my listeners think. That is the only way I can improve. Thanks so much for contiued support and have a wonderful weekend. W4i
@mapilson glad to hear this also keeping you thinking . Thereβs no clear right or wrong. But I also think we should be aware and start to think about music in the age of AI and where it helps vs where it kills craft, creativity etc. Have a great weekend! And looking forward to your next mixes. π
Let me jump into the discussion and share my take on this. I agreeβthereβs a ton of AI music out there right now, and a lot of it is crap. For some reason, Iβve started to instantly recognize those AI presets and stem packsβeven the premium ones have a limited range. I believe generating music is fine, but it has to be done right: writing precise, meticulous prompts; hammering the AI ββa hundred times per track until you get something actually worthwhile; then breaking it down into stems, processing them, reassembling everything, bouncing it strictly to WAV (not MP3), andβof courseβhandling the mastering and post-production in a DAW using VSTs. I don't think the music itself cares one bit who wrote it. "AI or not AI?"βis that really the main issue? Thatβs a question people ask themselves. You could spend months tweaking VST knobs and arranging in Ableton only to churn out a piece of garbage that nobody listens toβor you could keep up with the times and use AI to create magic that rivals studio-grade hardware. Thanks. Respect to everyone.πβ€οΈπ
@R2D21 yes well put, Batia. It is not a tool problem but who operates it. I agree that Ai can help and improve the production process and improve overall production quality if done right. What I feel uncomfortable with is to βsimulateβ emotions by Ai via vocals, meaning by generating complete lines, verses, choruses with dump generic Ai text without meaning. On the other hand using Ai to generate new sounds and instruments and using them as stems in your production is appealing in my opinion. Anyway Iβm happy to have such a great discussion going on ππ
Bro, hereβs the deal: when it comes to AI-generated lyrics, you still have to put in the work. If GPT generates lyrics for Suno (for example), you shouldn't just copy-paste them; you need to at least read through themβor better yet, edit them, especially if you know a thing or two about writing poetry. You have to work on it, crafting your thoughts and ideas into actual poetry rather than churning out fast-food content. Itβs like rhyming "next generation" with "all over the nation"βthatβs lame, a total taboo among lyricists since the late 90sβor rhyming verbs in Russian rap; itβs the same kind of crap. Thatβs point number one. Now, the secondβand equally importantβaspect: usually, the people releasing AI garbage with meaningless lyrics (mostly in English) are non-native speakers or people who don't know the language at all. To them, the vocals are just an extra synth part: if it hits the right notes, itβs all goodβif it sounds decent, itβs ready to play. Bro, I know plenty of people on this platform who release shows made up of 80β90% AI materialβboth good and badβand that doesn't stop them from growing and moving forward. Iβm sure that if I put together an amazing production with a song in Polish, Korean, Japanese or Swedish, you wouldn't give a damn what the lyrics actually say. And finally, the third and most important point: there are places on this planetβsome pretty big countries, believe meβwhere AI tracks sit at the top of the main charts for months, racking up millions of streams. So, people are actually into itβtheyβre fucking buying them on paid platformsβand Suno even offers a marketing program to distribute your tracks there. Iβve actually started thinking about that myself, heh heh. Anyway, here are some examples from my channel: 1. https://www.mixcloud.com/R2D21/batia-in-motion/ 2. https://www.mixcloud.com/R2D21/heroic-the-musical/ Letβs do this: give them a listen and drop your verdictβeither here or in a private message. Iβm really curious to hear your personal take, since Iβm also pretty good at spotting AI content myself. Seriously, Iβd appreciate it. In the meantime, Iβm off to finish mastering a post-AI release for my bro Watchβitβs looking like a real banger, way better than most stuff out there. Much respect, BATIA. And thanks for bringing this up; itβs high time we sorted this out, especially since you hear it everywhere these days. Sorry if I got a bit emotionalβitβs all in good spirits. Peace to everyone.β€οΈπ

π₯π‘ SIGNAL RECEIVED β AND IT'S COMING IN LOUD AND CLEAR! πβ‘
Oh yes, my friend! There's something magical about the combination of Jungle and Drum & Bass β those rolling breakbeats, deep basslines and raw underground energy that grab you and refuse to let go! π€π§
