“The complete system where you can create the complete composition currently is what we are using internally and this is the final goal to have this as a product. “So for example, the drum generator would be a product it would also be a product to generate guitars to drums it would be a product to generate lyrics, it would be a product to generate a vocal line to lyrics,” Schmidt said. The business plan calls for the company to license components of its software. “We do not necessarily want to brand it as ‘AI generated.’ We think it's better to create something and then have people surprised by learning how it was made afterwards.” Schmidt says it will be promoted just like any other album is promoted. Musical Bits’ The Frostbite Orckings will release the first fully AI created heavy metal album on December 22nd. I think without that, it will be difficult to move listeners deeply.” It is not just about the music it is also about the personality and the emotional connection to the musicians. The larger question for me is how fans relate to the bands. “This is similar in that the training set is being created with full permission. When sampling first came in, engineers hired musicians to create samples and there was no copyright issue with that,” said legendary music executive and producer Albhy Galuten, who is now Senior Fellow of Technology Initiatives at Intertrust Technologies, a pioneer in digital rights management. “What they are doing is very interesting. Then they are painstakingly annotated by the musicians, which is the time consuming part.” And out of all these elements, the system picks first the musical elements, the concepts like chord progressions, arrangement, how to play drums together with guitars. We had musicians that played chord progressions that are related to a certain emotion or style. So we had a real drummer drumming for 40 hours in a specific style. And then the other thing we trained is how it should be played. “We fed our system with potential output sounds like in our style,” explained Schmidt, “with snare hits and with bass drum hits, with guitar power chords, with single scales, with everything that you need going down to smallest syllables or phonemes of a singer. Like the rest of the music business, it’s about hits and acts, like Orckings, not underscoring a football montage on YouTube. The goal of Musical Bits and is business plan, is different. Stable Audio starts at $12/month for a subscription that allows users to generate up to 90 seconds of audio that can be used license-free in any medium. It, too, was trained with a licensed dataset consisting of over 800,000 audio files containing music, sound effects, and single-instrument stems and text metadata from AudioSparx. Stable Diffusion launched a new web-based AI Audio platform, Stable Audio, last week. But artists are out there training their own models, which is what Musical Bits has done. While we’ve heard a lot about music models trained on all the world’s music, which may be why both Google and Meta are not releasing their text-to-music generative AI. Getty licensed its 34 million image library to Adobe for its Fireflies AI, which integrated into Photoshop. Microsoft just indemnified its licensed users against any claims their AI has violated anyone’s copyrights.
