Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] so this is pretty scary [MUSIC]

This is not scary to me, this is downright exciting if it works as well as they let on which I am skeptical.

 

I doubt it would work well on any mixed tracks. For instance a track that has guitar, sax and bass on it, along with a piano, drum and vocal track, but even if you could only do this with a single track it is pretty awesome.

Afraid of what?  That it takes music away from musicians and puts in in
the hands of computer scientists?  It is pretty interesting.  How long
before computers with software like this and some kind of AI can produce
new music that we really like?

Would the separation be harder for piano?  I'm not sure.  I can think of
another good reason to focus on guitar -- lots of hobbyists play guitars.
