Harmony or Hype? Exploring the Authenticity Debate as Musicians Experiment with AIAn exploration of the musicians and technology leaders testing the boundaries and moral quandaries of using AI in music creation.

Bela Fleck Explores Sanken MicsAcclaimed banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck is also a proficient producer and recording engineer. As an ambassador of the banjo, Fleck has taken the instrument from its Bluegrass roots to Jazz, Classical, Rock, and various world music genres. The recipient of multiple Grammy Awards going back to 1998, Fleck's total Grammy count is 15 wins and 27 nominations. He has been nominated in more different categories than any instrumentalist in Grammy history.

Fleck has been exploring three innovative Sanken microphones, the dual titanium capsule CU-44X MkII and the wide-band 20Hz >100kHz CO-100K and CUX-100K mics. An engineer as well as musician, Fleck describes his early work with legendary Nashville producer/engineer Bill VornDick, "I'm a banjo player and I've been making my own records since the 80s. I spent a lot of time with Bill, who was okay with my engineering ambitions."

Fleck is often considered the premier banjo player in the world.  A New York City native, he picked up the banjo at age 15 after being impressed by the Bluegrass music of Flatt & Scruggs. Since releasing his first solo album in 1980, Fleck has continued to make a name for himself. In 2022, Fleck's "My Bluegrass Heart" won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album.

"During the pandemic," he explains, "I was invited to do a collaboration with an opera singer, and the engineer was Chuck Ainlay. I was unfamiliar with Sanken, but those mics just knocked my socks off. We recorded the banjo and used a pair of the CO-100Ks. I was just blown away by how good the 100K's sounded. I immediately ordered a pair of them, and I've been using them ever since on all kinds of instruments."

Sanken's CU-44X MK II microphone has a revolutionary design featuring two titanium matched capsules for low and high, with 100-volt internal power for super wide dynamic range and headroom. Fleck describes his experience with the CU-44X, "My wife Abigail Washburn and I recently did a song cycle with the Colorado Symphony, recording the premiere for an album. I used it on Abby's voice, and it was great, really excellent. She sings some very strong notes, and this mic has a very rich sound, but it also has a clarity. It's almost like it's already mixed. 

Fleck and Washburn used a combination of CU-44X and CUX-100K Sanken's. "I've also now used the 44X on my banjo along with the 100K. The result is a very full range sound with a lot of interesting characteristics. I think it's a great mic that could be used in all kinds of ways. It's clearly a great vocal mic. It's clearly a great instrument mic. I know people who use them as overheads for drums and other percussion. It's a high-class mic and I'm glad to have it in my arsenal."

Create context and provide examples to lower AI adoption barriers

Every company needs to be thinking about how to make artificial intelligence (AI) a seamless extension of its team. How often has an employee said, “I wish there were more hours in the day to get all my work done,” or “This is too much work for just one person.”
AI has the potential to lighten our workload and let us execute on tasks in a less fragmented way, but fostering an AI-friendly company culture is easier said than done.


It’s critical that companies take steps to quell any trepidation around AI while also providing tangible examples of its benefits.


In fact, according to a survey conducted by SnapLogic, 39% of respondents said they believe it will be difficult to get everyone in their organization on board with AI.
There are several barriers to AI adoption, but it mostly comes down to a lack of context and education on the topic. By heeding the following advice, companies have the best chance at integrating AI technologies into their company culture with little disruption — and big benefits.
Demystify AI to support change management
Most humans learn best by metaphor and example. It can be tricky to paint a picture of how AI will impact the workplace since we have so few prior examples. Additionally, some people worry that AI might make their role redundant if it can do their job faster or better than they can.
Despite these concerns and a general lack of context, people for the most part feel optimistic when it comes to AI: In our survey, nearly two-thirds liked the idea of using it in their current role. They believe AI has the potential to save them time (54%), increase productivity (46%), and reduce risk and errors in their work (37%).Create context and provide examples to lower AI adoption barriers by Walter Thompson originally published on TechCrunch
