Three handsome young man wearing a huge red sombrero and a black tuxedo while playing a tenor saxophone in the desert, Hyperrealistic, splash art, concept art, 3/4 shot, intricately detailed, color depth, dramatic, side light, colorful background

This begs questions about the quiet part buried in an algorithm: Such as, are those three handsome young men Sicilians in a spaghetti Western, or are they Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short?

:laugh: :roflmao: all of it!

my original video only used vids and gifs (free on the net) and i used the 'three amigos' doing their dance for the punches in the music arrangement --- i thought it was hilarious, but it got me some raised eyebrows from a few of the old women. :laugh:

That has kinda been the point, AI being used but not "credited" somehow, and the "creator" taking credit for the "art".

No one grumbles about artists using arrangers because they are giving the arrangers the credit. Seems fairly straightforward to me...

I'm happy with the idea of both being given credit. Although the question might be do you note if you've used tools to quantize, arpeggiate or pitch correct?

To me, from the perspective of the instigator if the creative process it's identical to using an agency or collaborator as it's causing an additional piece of work to occur with a feedback and selection process. Sociological issues are different. This isn't answering the question of which tools are best but I think there are some ethical issues to be aware of and I find those interesting as they are ones I did think of when working in ML

I use none of the tools you noted, though I'm aware of their use these days. I'm a bit old school.

I'm not sure I'd consider it "identical" to using other humans collaboration and creativity in an artistic endeavor.

I'm fairly certain that my opinion about AI being used in the creation of art will be unpopular here.

Definitely getting some Surgeon General of Beverly Hills vibes here...

I'm thinking in a more legalistic and transactional way here. If I send a demo tape to an arranger and get a score back, or if I send an audio file to an AI and get a MIDI file back there's not much difference other than speed, assuming quality is the same. If I collaborate with the arranger, that's different, but it may be that AI will be capable of the same process. It then may become a question of I feel about the source.

From the perspective of the audience, it's another matter.

@sgiacomo, that tells me so much --- helps a lot to see how the image and the prompts & settings can interact when they're manipulated with some intent. i really appreciate that you took the time to do/explain this. thanks. :thumbsup:

all of you cats have been great at sharing some experience with the newbie, here --- i appreciate all of the guidance while i try to get some speed.

i thought i'd jump right into the deep end of the pool, but i didn't appreciate the "bottomless" part. :) :laugh:

thanks, all! :thumbsup:
 
Using iZotope plugins which has AI features built in. Ozone 11 just came out with more stuff crammed into it. Powerful stuff for a DIYer like myself. Also using FADR, which is a stem separation tool. And an AI voice generator tool called Kits.ai that can transform a vocal audio file into another singer. Art and graphics I do myself. So basically anything I'm not perficant at I'll get an AI to fill that gap, otherwise I like using my skills to create art, music, and writing.

I use Ozone and frankly, do not always like the AI-based recommendations. So if you're going to use AI, you'd better have the backbone to stand up and tell it, "You sound like crap!" when necessary.

Yeah dude. I use it to see how it sounds. It is useful to get another perspective on the mastering. I use my ears and skills most of the time. I’m guessing you already knew that.

i want to share version 2

my second version of both the music,
- which is a slightly different mix,
- i snagged the keyboard part from a life show, so lots of editing in pro tools, but
- there'll be another (hopefully final) version after i snag the real part from the keyboard player this/next week.
- my interest in getting the music piece correct is paramount, the rest (the AI stuff) is for fun, in my case,
- i'll eventually post the final mix/master of the audio on spotify/itunes/etc. with the other Cold Cuts tunes,

and the AI-generated visuals,
- some of these bits have the benefit of the things i was trying to learn (the first few pages of this very thread),
- some are snagged from the first rendition, found on this thread: I made another ai music video… man this stuff is trippy and slightly disturbing ,
- but 50%-60% of this version is new,
- and i'm totally accepting of the weird, trippy, not life-like visuals. (i have a ground-to-earth at the very end. :D )...
- which i might keep.

i got a bunch of help from @RustfeatherBass, @scott sinner, @Barticus, @sgiacomo --- and i've "created" (induced? :) ) a bunch more 4-second renders and combinations that i'm saving for the final version of the music/mix. hopefully, that will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.

i'm fine with the distortions and the surreal stuff in the images. it's just fun/funny (to me), even though i have no fan-based feedback to confirm or to suggest otherwise. what i cant get, consistently, even with the paid/'pro' version of nightcafe, is the number of characters/musicians. i say "three," "only three," etc., and the generator(s) does it's own thing (the apocalypse? :D ) and produces more or less figures, randomly --- i get the correct number ~1/3 of the time, maybe (i'm using the least expensive "pro" version).

TL;DR: sorry for the repetition, but the tune is a model and a template for my plunge into AI images, so it will be presented a few times. anyway, this is the second version, just for fun:

For me, it works artistically. If you’d showed it to me 10 years ago, not imagining AI would be doing such things, Id just think it was meant to be trippy. I didnt listen on my big speakers, but mix sounds good and all on my iPad fwiw.

It’s cool, what tool did you use to generate the video content with?
for ~5 years, i've been using the paid version of VSDC (~$20/year) to generate all of my band "commercials" and music videos.
VSDC Free Video Software: Complete Toolset for Video Editing 2023

i'm sure that it's not as elegant as davinci resolve, but at this point it (VSDC) does way more than i'm capable of doing anyway, so = it works! it renders well, and fast, and i'm using a twelve-year-old i5 laptop.
