Band in a Box + ChatGPT = impressed the BOSS ! 

Thanks for the kind words !! :-)

Glad you enjoyed it

WIll do. Hope you know I have quite a catalog of videos about other BIAB areas.

Yes. The prompt is everything !

Thanks

Thanks for listening

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Yes. It works pretty good.

Glad it helped!

Thank You !

Thanks !

Well it did work :-)

Yes. I'm not sure if the copy and paste works in versions earlier than 2024 because I no longer have those versions loaded.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks

Try it out !!

You bet!

You're welcome.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Working on that. I have a good webcam but getting it to work well with OBS is a bit challenging at times.

It can be good. Like anything else you may have to tweak it to really get what you want but it's a great starting point.

Yea. Probably a couple of tools but I already struggle a little because I don't want to be ALL AI !! I still want to leave some room for my own interpretation. That's why I didn't use the AI melody but made my own.

@@henryclarke5407 I’m with you about the overuse of AI. But you are a formidable singer, so there is no need to use AI and autotune. However, for someone who is a decent musician but can't sing that well, these tools are very interesting. So you can sing the melody yourself, but then let it run through the “voicover machine”. This way you could really produce a presentable product in 24 hours. Whether anyone wants to hear it because the entire market is flooded with AI titles is another question. In any case, the combination of band in a box and AI tools is a very helpful thing. Thank you for your inspiring videos!

@@ErichKerzendorfer You're welcome. I agree that it's great to hear your song vocally with a voice that is just flat out great. Give you confidence in moving forward. One thing I have noticed in the AI songs I've generated is that the male vocals sound a lot alike. Still good but in my opinion not different. Still they work great though 🙂

You must have BIAB 2024 to do this. I'm not sure it's in earlier versions. Sorry.

@@henryclarke5407 thank for replying to my comment , unfortunately i have the 2023 versions. is there a workaround for the 2023 version?

@@henryclarke5407 OK, those of us on Mac are still waiting for BIAB 2024! Your example is a great reason to upgrade!

UPDATE: from Chapter 6: "Type chords in a text file using a vertical line for a bar line. If you want a blank bar, leave a space or type a % sign between vertical lines. For example, you can type | D | G7 | | F | or | D | G7 | % | F |. " Also, Paste Special opens the box.

Thanks

I did try Suno by putting the lyrics to one of my own songs into it and the results were FANTASTIC !! However, I was left feeling that it wasn't me so I decided to move on. I think they're fine if you just want something to listen to but from my perspective I need to have a significant part of the song or I don't want to play. The song in the video .. even thought the backing chords were AI generated the inclusion of the touches (guitar, organ, oohs, aahs, etc..) were my idea so I had some input. The vocal melody, the background arrangement, etc. were all me. NOT AI. If I wanted to I could have generated the entire song in say SUNO or something but in my opinion that's no fun. As far as copyright I have also studied a bit and as I understand it you cannot copyright a song written by a machine. Thus no copyright and for profit no royalties. I think that AI music will continue to evolve and the copyright laws will catch up but in the interim anyone producing and releasing AI music will probably not garner any revenue and if they rise to the top will come under intense scrutiny with the potential of losing any revenue they may have obtained.

@@henryclarke5407 Amen to that. I agree. If band in the box included mastering and mixing software and a few more styles though then we would be talking.

@@wiltaylor I think that even if they have mastering and mixing software it wouldn't make a lot of difference because they need to really improve how you can record vocals. For someone like me that's the key and is why I continue to use Bandlab when it comes to vocals.

@@henryclarke5407 I've seen you use Cakewalk which I also use but I haven't seen you use bandlab for vocals I'll search around for that video. By the way thanks for your excellent videos. I have made and sold some music with your help and made backing tracks for my theatre shows. I am truly grateful for your expert advice. Are you sticking with new cakkewalk?

Haven't used it. Will have a look.

Your version is probably too old. Sorry but I don't have old versions loaded and I don't think that ChatGPT was even around in 2021.

I really don't know. It's included in BIAB 2024 so I'm guessing (Since I'm not a MAC user) that it "should" be included.

@@henryclarke5407 I called PG support about this and tbh, they weren't of any help. Their exact answer was “This is a unique method that was created by this video creator”. While I agree that you are able to accomplish wonderful feats in BIAB, I find their response evasive at best. It wouldn't be the first time I learned that certain functions available in the Windows version are not available for Mac. To answer you proposition of starting a RU-vid channel for Mac, I'm not sure I would be very helpful at this stage. I really enjoy your videos as they are very informative while remaining colloquial and good humoured. Bravo!!!
