Really interesting live stream from Christian Henson

@David-Healey Fascinating stuff! Big takeaway for me is keep your business model simple.

[dannytaurus]

Panic over? (sarcasm)

https://blog.native-instruments.com/statement-from-nick-williams-ceo-of-native-instruments/

Can't help thinking a message from the CEO would have been better before all the kerfuffle?

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus Nothing new in that statement, just CEO waffle. Probably limited on what he's able to say.

This is the end of an era. AI will be the standard. NI didn’t realize that. Hope HISE does. ( by adding deep integration with AI frameworks. Dataset processing etc)

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey Yeah, it was meant to be sarcastic. Too dry I suppose. Edited

Standard of what?

No doubt with that. Although we have friends with opposing views, I agree with you on the same point.

I hope HISE will be an AI workbench.

@resonant said in NI Insolvency:

AI workbench.

What does that mean?

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey I think folks are hoping that AI will be integrated into HISE such that you can describe what you want and the AI will guide the build, of just build it.

If that's the case, it might be basically the same as letting AI loose with the underlying JUCE framework. Christoph mentioned this a week or so ago.

When we get to that stage all our software becomes worthless.

[hisefilo]

@David-Healey of dsp. Sampling will be replaced. Algorithmic fx will. Synthesis. Daws as we know today. And so on

Whether you use it or not, definitely someone will bring it to that stage anyway, but you don't need to be afraid of it, because software won't become worthless.

It will just work in a different way. Do you want to be ready for this stage or not? Don't we all want tools that make life easier? Besides, AI makes significant sales increases.

[David Healey]

@resonant I'm not afraid of it (I made a whole HISE AI workshop). I just see a lot of vague comments without any specifics which is why I ask.

If I can write a prompt and a plugin pops out then all our plugins are worthless because the end user can write the same prompt I can.

What I'm referring here isn't creating plugins with AI.

As said, it's about using AI to analyze and then using DSP to process or generate DSP in a shorter way. For example, removing reverbs, or properly removing snare drum from a mix, or creating very realistic physical models…etc. That’s what I call AI Workbench.

[hisefilo]

@David-Healey this is a specific use of ai replacing sampling. https://acestudio.ai/
Click on violin to see the end of sampling.

This is ACE-Step model trained with hours and hours of violin performances.

Dan suggested this.

@resonant said in NI Insolvency:

Would that need to be part of HISE when other tools are already available to do those things?

@hisefilo said in NI Insolvency:

his is a specific use of ai replacing sampling.

ACE studio (and other similar tools) is not an instrument. It's a performance system. You can't play it in real-time. The current system of generative AI is not real-time capable, a new system is needed in order to replace virtual instruments.

[hisefilo]

@David-Healey i can live with it. Playing with an ugly sampled violin. Then render with Ai

A sampled violin you say... but you just told me ACE studio will replace samples

[hisefilo]

@David-Healey lol you got the point. It’s matter of time to get ai realtime generation on every home studio or top notch producers.
