AI, it kinda replaces an mixing engineer
Plugins as correcting tools to hide lack in
well treated rooms, good recording techniques, playing
or performing skills, like Autotune on vocals
Close emulations, I do not get the always repeated question
does it come close to the real thing? truly speaking.
Either a plugin works for you or not.
The majority will never ever see a real unit
and if a plugin emu works for you well,
will it all of a sudden not work any more,
when people confirm
it's not very close to the real thing?!
Is it time for a SUPER plugin that analyzes your
vocal track and makes it sound like Elvis, Bruce Springsteen,
Janis Joplin or whoever
Drums like Bonham or Prince Linn Drums style?
Make the bass slap like Larry Graham or Marcus Miller or...
Guitar like Hendrix, Van Halen or...
Piano like Bill Evans, Chick Korea, Herbie Hancock or...
To be able to play an instrument is less important today
and everyone can become a music producer and with
Super plugin audio production could be raised to
the next level.
Maybe not only with ability to adapt or change to
the playing style of an artist, but also soundwise.
One plugin is already used and has uniformed the vocals.
The reference artist is called Autotune.
When used as an effect it always sounds pretty similar,
so why not expanding this habit to other instruments.
You play guitar either on synth or real guitar,
but want it to sound and be performed like by
Ingwie Malmsteen or Ritchie
Blackmore? No problem with super plugin.
You could create the band of your dreams:
Oscar Peterson on piano, Bonham on drums,
Annie Lennox on vocals, Flea on bass, Al di Meola on guitar.
You can't play Flamenco, but want to add a touch of it
to a latin style mix?
Just track the basic idea and then select Paco de Lucia.
And in case kind of copyright could be a problem,
just name Barry White Mr Low or Prince Purple Pain.
Plugin analyzes audio and changes it to your artist's style and sound
and even gives you different variations that one could select.
I suppose a plugin like this could be done easily today,
hope it will be released soon
What do you think which dev will release this kind of plugin?
It's just a question of time...
Izotope, Waves, Sonible or...?
