Like predicted no matter if you are able to sing, you can make your voice sound the way you want - like your fav singer whether death or alive.
I remember quite a lot of people laughing about this idea just a short time ago.
Keep on laughing, but it's reality now.
Thanks to many innovative students worldwide first and foremost there are some beta or free light versions and this kind of AI software will be improved more and more and very quickly.

Who said I can't sing like Joe Cocker ?!

I can sing like Joe Cocker already. I just have to stab myself in the neck with a Stanley knife, job done.

I remember thinking this was going to come somewhere around the turn of the century. I forget what innovation at the time prompted me to think that, but it wasn't A.I.

This could be great for adding guitar in the style of CHIC, Allan Holdsworth Etc. Much easier to fake than the human voice I would imagine.

This to me seems like an area to watch with regard to copyright infringements and be interesting to see the labels responses.

I would not be surprised to see some legal challenges if A.I learns from an artist and it can be seen to imitate enough to be seen as a copy.

All artists copy to being with though. Don't they? That's usually how a person comes up with a style. A pinch of this and a pinch of that.

All the wannabees who don't want to work on their craft will have a field day. Just like now, only worse.

Interesting what he asks about UMG 'owning' the sound of someone like Drakes voice, we've already had this years ago, Tom Waits suing (and winning) for infringement of his vocal style.

I find it hard to get too excited/agitated about all this, big business will utilise it to make money from their talent, if people are happy with the results then so be it. They seem more and more happy with tribute acts anyway so...

I guess if you have dreams of 'making it big' then interesting times ahead, everyone else will continue to play tiny clubs, put out tapes/cds/bandcamp releases and just do their thing.

Those text to speech type voices are copyrighted as far as I know. I wonder how the law works there. I suppose a talented singing artist could copyright their own voice too.

It seems tantamount to suggesting "theft is cool" I just don't get it myself. The very last thing I personally want to do is take someone elses famous voice and put it in my music.

I don't see the attraction or any degree of creativity. I guess if you are trying to get attention for your beats/productions it might be one way, but a very risky way with unknown future consequences.

If you were in a Heavy Metal band and you wanted to demo your material with a Dio voice, it could be helpful.

I'm hardly trying here but I'm sure there are a million and one useful reasons people could think of, if they put their minds to it.

Yeah I would tend to agree we all gather influences from other artists however imo this is slightly different as the A.I is effectively trained from one artist in the Drake example.

Would definitely be hard to call if a A.I was trained on a number of artists and used aspects of these to create a new voice entirely though.

Everyone can sing like everyone
