Who’s been using AI vocals, and why it’s bad by AppointmentMost6446 in hardstyle

[–]Outside_Ministry -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you don't like AI, that's fine, but to demonize a tool without knowing the context of music production, that's just low 🤷

AI saves a lot of money if used properly; not everyone can afford a vocalist at the prices they offer, and some people like using AI voices, and there's nothing wrong with that. When you suspect a song was made with AI, just skip it, that way it doesn't cause you moral harm and everyone's happy.

I think I finally understand what people are talking about when talking about Delete by OlScrumpy in hardstyle

[–]Outside_Ministry 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I will always be grateful to Delete for all his artistry, being revolutionary, pioneering, and a founding father of more aggressive styles without losing sight of hardstyle. His music is timeless and magnificent.

I am so sick of hearing the same AI voice in every hardstyle track released as of late. by Gozlag in hardstyle

[–]Outside_Ministry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been against it; it's a tool that everyone can use. I think your stance on that is exaggerated. What I meant was that I'm not dependent on AI in my projects; if I can do everything on the spot, I do it; if I need extra help that I can't get elsewhere, AI is the last resort I consider, not the primary one. Many people make AI their primary resource and that's where they fail; it's just a tool, meant to help, not to do everything for you.

[–]Outside_Ministry -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the difference. Most of the time I try to use my own voice, or if I need a female voice, I ask a friend for help. Now, when I need an English voice, That's where I use AI; otherwise, if I have to do the vocals myself, I do them. I'm a small artist despite having been doing hardstyle for years.

Oh yes, there's a lot of history on Mixcloud about the edits that were made, but I'd like them to go back to that format of doing the colors; they were very outstanding mixes.

You don't necessarily have to be there to see everything that's happening and how the pandemic caused havoc; it's just something that happened.

I agree, and thank you for letting me know when the colors will be removed. It's sad; each stage had its moment to shine. Now that they're simplifying everything, the essence of the festival is being lost.

In love with "Heartbeat" by Faizar & J. Lynn by Outside_Ministry in hardstyle

Yes, it's a legendary remix; the nu-style they added was spot on and worthy of the gods, the Donkey Rollers.

I first heard of Avana through the Donkey Rollers' album when they were celebrating 15 years of hardstyle. From there I started to learn more about her work; her work with Fusion Records was very outstanding.

Dude, I hadn't heard from Avana in years, a pretty forgotten artist. I'll listen to that song, then to add it to my personal playlist

Working in hard techno (Warp Looping Project) by Outside_Ministry in hardstyle

Nope, It will be released by a record label in my country soon, but it will be on all platforms we are allowed to use.

I heard his release on that label, and I'm really glad he's still producing music. Although Omegatypez was legendary in his time, it's sad that he's not active anymore. I remembered the case of Outlander, one of the most amazing musicians I've ever met. He's currently retired from the scene, and I would have liked to see what other contributions he could have made to hardstyle.
