No disrespect to those who lean on Ai to "get ideas started"... I truly believe that this new wave of Ai music makes the audience appreciate the HUMAN element of our music more. I write my own lyrics --I don't even use chat to spell check my music! I don't typically use Apple Loops, though I have in the beginning. they are a great way to learn. I currently craft my own chord progressions and melodies through midi instruments and tweak the settings of them in my DAW (Logic Pro) Even though I am limited to Cmaj, because my music theory is weak, I appreciate the journey of going from a 2(rating) to a 10! How do you feel about the use of Ai in music? Particularly those who aim to make a career 💰 out of music.

Well, it looks like a very cool update! - Step Sequencer 🔥 - ARA 2 (FINALLY!) - DrumSynth - Capture Automation 🔥 - Contextual Browsing - Multiband and Mid-Side split Racks 🔥 - New plugins: Looplet(looks fun), Transient Shaper, Clipper, 5 Softube plugins integration(includes in Suite version)🔥 Although I like my Fender Studio Pro, however I'm thinking about to start using Live again 🤔 💲Upgrading from Live 12 Suite to Live 13 Suite costs 183 USD. Info from Ableton website: If you don’t own Live 12 yet – buy or upgrade to Live 12 at 20% off during the announcement offer and get the corresponding Live 13 edition free when it’s released.

Anybody using an MPC Sample and following the latest open source OS mods? If so, what have you tried out and what do you like or dislike about it?

If you play what is your jam? Which genre of music do you lean into the most if you also write/compose? If you don't play, what's your favorite to engineer, mix and produce? I'll always be a blues based player (guitar) but when I write I often like to compose using some jazz elements in my blues - that II / V / I turn around and using m7 chords and half diminished chords. But I enjoy a lot of different styles.

Does anyone here work on Hip hop/ Rap music? I'm starting to feel a little alone here...
