Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who took part in the AI music poll as well as the feedback thread survey.
It was a landslide in both - AI music will be banned from this sub, and feedback posts will continue to be allowed as opposed to a dedicated feedback thread.
I added a bit of a survey to the feedback poll - you can see the results here.
The headlines are:
- Most people use Ableton Live
- Liquid is the most produced subgenre
- The majority of people who took the survey had been producing for over 10 years (!)
- Less than half had released a track on a label
But what counts as AI?
I want to be really specific at this stage with the nuance of what exactly is being banned.
Artificial intelligence has of course existed long before the current popular chatbot models, with many plugins and analytical tools making use of it.
Logic, my own DAW, now has a stem splitting tool, which Apple advertised as being powered by AI.
Use and discussion of these tools is not being banned.
What is being banned is AI generated music, and the tools that allow you to do so.
For example, if you use Suno to generate a track and post it here, that will be removed. The same for if you try to start discussions on the use of Suno, or any similar music generation tool.
This is a production subreddit, that focuses on helping people make music themselves. We're not here to help you write better prompts.
There will be occasions where it is not clear whether a track was produced by AI or not. We will take these on a case by case basis. If you ever get removed and want to validate your track, feel free to message me proof from your DAW.
