No the singing like the video is me learning AI.

Not worth it. I’m just gonna start hiding posts from people that are using it for “art”.

The wrecker models are amazing. I could probably do 90% of what I need with the Express and the volume knob on my guitar. That model is one of the best amps I've played, digital or real.

Yes, Plexi and Deluxe and Wrecker are perfect volume-only amps.

I knew that voice was AI the second I heard it

The fake soul singer delivery, no matter what type of song it is; gives it away every time. Ed's playing is as per usual, ridiculous \m/

 

[sashimi]

The guitar is awesome for sure. Kind of does it a disservice to put AI vocals on it because it tends to make one assume the whole thing is AI.

 

[JiveTurkey]

I am nowhere near as hardline as some are about it. There are some hilarious NSFW songs all AI that have had me cracking up, as well as funk versions of thrash stuff that actually worked great. Beyond that; you don't always have Steve Perry or Michael Kiske at your disposal 3 blocks away


Sorry @Mongillo19

There are some AI soul/funk/R&B versions of grunge songs that work surprisingly well. I didn't want to like them, but they're great.

Same.

I'm definitely not for AI in songs and I agree. Would have loved to of heard real vocals over the killer arrangement. However to be less harsh, is it really truly different than people using autotune and pitch correction that is slathered all over the tracks that makes them sound like AI or robotic in the end anyway, and hell that's been going on for ages already! lol

Well if I thought the tune had potential as instrumental only I would have left it that way

FWIW , I posted it merely for the AM4 tones.

And I used AI for orchestral and choir things on my instrumental stuff and love it. It’s an insane time saver.
Plus it sounds better than sound library orchestral stuff.

The regular singing I usually don’t get to use.
Plus I’m having a blast seeing what I can get it to do with real time audio input rather than prompts.

And I gotta say I’m kinda late to the party, seing that a bunch of Fusion guys got into this. Mohini springs to mind.

Which let me to AI for vids. And I gotta say I’ll take that over edited play through videos.

So for the ones that don’t like AI vocals here’s another AM4 thing with fake vocals and me everything else.
This time the 800 model

I'll have to check out Mohini. Also I definiely agree about play through videos.

Yes. It’s different.

Oh and I forgot. I really hate working with singers. I had enough of that in 2009 and until I met my 2nd ex wives who was a session singer for Bollywood I took a 2 year break from working with singers.

After the last tour I did 9 years ago I also decided to never permanently work with singers. Plus it happens that my musical corner doesn’t need them.

You don't have to defend yourself to anyone. Thanks for sharing your music.

 

[ChordInversion]

Thank goodness it isn't.

I’m not so much justifying but merely pointing out this is where it’s going.
And I’m ok with that.

Whether I have someone else or AI play the parts I write matters FA to me. lol

But here’s an instrumental non AI track with the AM4

These sound great! Sounds like you're having a lot of fun with the AM4.

Glad you found what you were looking for!

Out of curiosity, did you identify any particular cause to your initial unsatisfactory tones? Or was it simply a case of dialing it in for your specific guitar and tastes, as is the case with most amps and guitar gear?

Things sounded much better in headphones so I had to do a little work to get what I want for my direct live rig...which I've yet to gig. Always preferred amp/cab so I may still end up there, but I'm getting some great stuff with the GNR IRs so I may figure it out yet.

So many variables...my brain hurts a little. Really fun though.
