What do you think the future holds for digital music/audio ?

A clear sign of the downside of AI - @Wiimer spending less time here

I'll probably start a Suno thread soon and get yelled at by someone.

Embedding metadata into digital music material, that can then be used by AI to EQ/shape the final sound so as to be aligned with the artist(s) preferences. Must be equipment, environment and listener agnostic.

Hmm... Seems like a very tall order to me. Without getting the artist in question around to my house, how would I know that they 'like' the final result? In the absence of said artist, how could I be sure that what is coming out of my system in my room is 'correct'?

In addition, as an old fart, my hearing is no longer what it was (for example, alas I can no longer hear John Bonham's squeaky bass pedal in Since I've Been Loving You). So the EQ settings that sound good to me, could well be a long way from what was intended or preferred by the artist or indeed the mastering engineer.

However, embedding metadata into digital music and indeed video media that manages ownership, distribution rights, royalty payments etc seems like something that could happen quite easily. Even makes me wonder why it's not already there.

That's awful, but to paraphrase the dude, "well, you know, that's just like, uh, my opinion, man."

Argh, indeed awfull, sorry Wiimer, a matter of taste offcource. What is very noticeable in every AI music creation I heard till now is that especially vocals are made of stacked noise profiles, like grainy noise. Don't know how to describe it otherwise but once you hear it you will notice it right away. In this particular example you can hear what I mean also in the violin in the beginning of the song...

No worse & much better than tons of non-AI rubbish - well done

 

[FuckaZip]

Sorry, but to me this is irrelevant thrash that I've heard a thousand times before. It reminds me of the music you hear in schmaltzy movies and telenovelas (this AI music might be suitable for that, as well as for games, advertising, etc.) or music that self-proclaimed “musicians” have clicked together from sound snippets in a DAW (e.g. Magix MusicMaker etc.).
Don't be angry with me, and have fun with your new hobby, but that's my honest opinion

maybe 'wiim' intergration into car audio is possible ... im using the wiim mini via hotspot in my car, sounds pretty good.
28 speakers in the new volvo .. hifi listening room on wheels

You can enjoy the Volvo 28 speaker system at home too - just park the car in your living room.
And why 28? Why not 56? Is there some hidden acoustic golden rule? We demand the truth

 

[mrehorst]

If 27 speakers are good, 28 must be better!

 

[Valentino]

28? My main hifi has 14 and sounds good so this car system must be twice as good, no?

Thread 'I can't be the only one.... WiiM Pro in the car!'

Nov 14, 2023

WiiM Pro feeding a Mosconi Aerospace 6to8 DSP over coax in the trunk of my 2017 Acura NSX. The car came with wired CarPlay only, so I bought a little gizmo online that adds wireless CarPlay and conveniently creates a wifi hotspot for the WiiM to connect to. I've been through numerous digital sources for this system and the WP is the cleanest and most stable whether streaming over WiFi or Bluetooth.

Looks like Bowers beat me to the 'original studio' sound thing, but my idea of embeding the studio 'profile' into digital music meta data still stands.

@hoohoohoo .. guessing this was an older post before the 'mini', the 'mini' is a neater and simplier install, just plug and play using cars aux-in or bluetooth. Im in process on 'modding' my onboard Audi B&O system and just thought adding the 'wiim' seemed logical. Still need to decide how best to use it, but internet radio works well, I already have onboard digital sources so might not be worth keeping it in there, but just fits in glovebox nothing visible and simple plug&play.

 

[SKApretto71]

It cant be long before the 'digital' music/audio we store and stream will carry additional information apart from track info and album art etc .. maybe the artist's preferred 'EQ' settings or 'sound shape' could be added and your replay equipment would adjust automatically to artist's 'EQ' for each track. After all blu ray carries loads of additional info.
I read that this track/artist is 'alleged' to be Ai created .. what do you think ?

I'd be already happy once multichannel audio becomes the digital standard for audio, and not the exception. True, we have some offerings already, but I swear a day when it would be the standard to use multichannel and mix it back to stereo just when needed, with broad streamers support.
