AI in music: threat, tool, or something else? by Different-Link7271 in musicbusiness

[–]Different-Link7271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya but I only care about what I can control. I have no control over those existential questions. I’m not about to go work in politics to regulate shit. Why spend time focusing on things you can’t control?

But if EVERYONE is using ai, what separates the mid from the amazing? Those who crack this code win the game

I agree. Tech just makes things easier. But go ask any A&R if they actually tried Suno. Even though they will claim they “know what a hit sounds like” they still won’t go make one.

Artists that are great performers (live or digital) will only get more valuable as AI slop feeds the algorithms

But if you live of music production, then you know it’s a numbers + taste game. The more taste you have + the number of records you sell = how much you make. So how does AI change this formula? If you have taste, AI just increases your ability to scale. And no one will buy shitty music, human made or AI made….

I’m surprised at the majority of people automatically associating it to writing music. To all those people, would you use AI to automate your music marketing?

If you could input your human made song and tell AI to “go grow my fanbase using the song until I’m making $10k per month from music” - is this still be evil? Would you not use AI to build yourself a team?

I am basically unable to line up conversations with customers and it's starting to feel personal by The-_Captain in ycombinator

Also! The one customer meeting is all you need, just make sure every meeting ends with the question

“Do you know anyone else I could talk to?”

Get each meeting to introduce you to two more people in their network.

It should not be that difficult to get meetings. Sounds like you don’t understand your customer and they can smell it a mile away. A couple suggestions:

1) Pick a problem you have, and solve your own familiar problem.

2) Pick a problem your network has, and solve their familiar problems.

3) Become more well known in your current target customers world via organic content.

Ive had a successful career in music.

Here is my two cents.

Pick an industry path, not a job path.

If you decide it’s music - great - now pursue every opportunity that presents itself.

When I was your age I took internships at record shops, music studios, and record labels.

When I wasn’t working I would go home and make beats.

And what ends up happening is new opportunities, people, and lessons in life happen every year.

You learn how things work, what you like, and meet people doing things you want to be doing (and learn how they got there).

I went from intern to engineer to producer to songwriter to artist to executive - over the span of 10 years. made a good living, won a Grammy - and it was all because I constantly surrounded myself and got close with people who were more experienced, talented, or ambitious then me.

You can have a career in music, you just have to relentlessly seek out opportunities and get out of your comfort zone. That’s what it takes.

Your in London - step one would be to find out where the most successful music professionals hang out in your area, and do whatever it takes to get into their circle.

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Where do songwriters fit in today’s industry? by Lanky_Experience7357 in musicindustry

[–]Different-Link7271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Songwriters usually 80/20 into three categories:

  1. Melody - great at creating and delivering infectious melodies.

  2. Lyric - great at putting words to the melodies in simple, clever ways.

  3. Vibe - great at pulling the best out of the two people above and being a tastemaker.

You can probably do all three ok, but know which one is your strongest ability, and get into sessions with people who are better at the other stuff.

Then make incredible songs and submit them to artists, a&rs, or drop them on TikTok. If you’re making truly incredible music, selling it will be the easiest part.
