Frequency masking is important to understand and logically use or not for blending in #musicproduction and #Mixing to get best possible results

When we started creating PublMe I was thinking quite a lot about Spotify's success and the main message from Daniel too. The #MusicIndustry economy and #Technology already changed and for #artists now the key is sustainability, otherwise, it is just a hobby. #AI is cool and some people use the tool for profit, but what's next and what an asset is?

Will.i.am: “I can’t be that critical of AI – because I have a career sampling music”The debate surrounding AI in music is complex and highly nuanced. Many are critical of fully fledged AI music generators – saying their content is flooding streaming services and diluting the creativity of real human artists – while others hail the potential of artificial intelligence to expedite the creative process.
Black Eyed Peas superstar Will.i.am is one of many industry veterans urging people to be more open to the adoption of AI in the creative process. Back in 2023, he spoke on how AI was still in its infancy, saying: “It’s Super Mario Bros. right now – we ain’t even got to Call of Duty yet.”

And speaking to CNBC in Davos, Switzerland last week, the singer once again revealed his thoughts on AI, saying it’s not dissimilar to the rise of sampling decades ago.
“Imagine it’s 1970, we’re talking about jazz here, right?” he says. “A jazz musician would say, ‘What do you think about these samplers that are coming? People just sampling our stuff that we did back in the past. You think that’s music?’
“Turns out that that’s the form of hip-hop sampling and using technology to reimagine and chop up and reconfigure… So I can’t be that critical [of] AI, because I have a career sampling music…”
He also suggests that developers who write the code for AI music generators should also be given some credit in the creative process.
“At the core of AI music is some developer, and though that’s their art, you can’t discredit their art for creating that algorithm to create,” he says.
“Yes, they did borrow from music. They did train on, you know, the entire library that humans have made and that people should be paid for…
“We’re going to get to a point 20 years from now where it would have evolved, and it’s not about training on yesterday’s music. We have to prepare ourselves for that, too. Because the AI that we’re concerned about is not here yet, and that is the AI that’s creating just on it’s own.”

Native Instruments CEO updates users: “Business continues as usual at Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx”Following the news of Native Instruments going into preliminary insolvency proceedings, the brand’s CEO, Nick Williams, has issued an update via NI’s blog page. He assures the community of creators, customers and partners that it’s “business as usual at Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx.”
Since the news spread, the internet has been rife with predictions on which company will acquire NI — InMusic, Splice, and Fender are among the many brand names that have been suggested as potential buyers. Meanwhile, many posts criticising and mourning NI are circulating, with one YouTuber even citing the news as “the upcoming collapse of the music industry”.
Williams suggests that such speculation is premature, saying that the company is “working diligently and responsibly to secure a healthy, financially sustainable future for Native Instruments.” He adds that the Native Instruments brands are also “continuing to develop and launch new products and features. Our NKS Partnerships team continues to process Kontakt Player licences and NKS Partner submissionss.”

In legal terms, we have filed applications to open pre-insolvency proceedings for those companies.
“We are focused on providing continuity for creators, customers, and partners. We’ll continue to share updates as we have them.
“I’m a lifelong musician myself, and have been a passionate fan of Native Instruments for 25 years. Our mission to inspire and enable creators to express themselves through sound continues.”
