Hey, I'm one of the devs at Rave.

We're aiming to brand the process as simple as possible, and so anyone tin make mashups/mixes, and will add on customizations over time. Our focus showtime and foremost will be to make sure that the core procedure is solid earlier we add together on to it.
Our AI does do more than beatmatching as well. Though a lot of that is going to be more than evident in our mix AI, which we've been focusing on recently.
To be honest I didn't recollect my comment would go that much attention - and if I did I would've worded it a bit more than gently. I call up the framework that y'all've built around this product is really, actually, really impressive (the virality and interactivity, for example). But I as well think it's a very hard trouble that you've set out to tackle. I alluded to it a bit elsewhere in this thread, just at that place hasn't been virtually every bit much work put into audio signal learning as at that place has been photographic bespeak learning. I'm really excited to come across what else can be done, and I'1000 happy to meet that someone is trying to do it. I wish you the best of luck
(Only I'm besides hoping that this doesn't further dilute the music manufacture by making music "production" fifty-fifty easier. Pop music is already "algorithmically solved", and other genres aren't as unique as any fan would similar to think.)
There are a lot of "mixes" on youtube for electronic music that have keen track selection but practice uncomplicated fades considering they don't have the technical skills. If this technology helps them solve that so it would improve my listening experience dramatically.
That is really precisely what we're aiming to solve! Requite those who don't accept the technical skills, a ways to get the best outcome they can get, while letting them focus on the role that is important to them: the music selection.
Agreed! I'g in a band called The Wonder Confined[1], and we play firm music alive with real instruments, simply nosotros besides include drum machines. We're very far from computers beingness able to improvise (well), and 4-5 humans playing live instruments is just a crowd-captivating visual. Along with Agent Zero[2], Worldtown Soundsystem[iii], and several other bands in the Philadelphia surface area, nosotros make up a vibrant "live electronic" scene united by the way nosotros brand music, not past the genres of music that we especially choose to write and play.
We're likewise DJs/producers, and every bit a DJ, I somewhat disagree with AI e'er taking our music-creating jobs. Perhaps playing music will be somewhat more automated in the future, simply history shows that creating music will merely become more complex and more interesting as nosotros continue frontward. Think about it: There are nevertheless _professional_ drummers out there, people just paid to pulsate, when drum machines exist. There are entire orchestras that are paid well-nigh the same salary every bit developers, still the Vienna Symphonic Library lets a single person on a keyboard play an entire orchestra's score. The truth is, compositions have classically exploited the modern applied science of the day to their own reward, and I don't encounter that stopping anytime soon. I can fifty-fifty imagine a world where the independent vocaliser/songwriter of a sudden becomes more than capable than ever, with AI allowing them to orchestrate entire film scores by just playing a piano or a guitar into their calculator. But I don't see the creative aspect of music dying just because we built a automobile to organize some stuff better for us.

Good suggestions, nosotros're located in Kitchener Ontario Canada.
RE: "ability to ask information technology to weight a repeating frequency of a song" - you'd want songs to appear in your mix more than one time?
Yes, if I am mixing a series of my favorite songs... too I may want it to mix from A B C B A B C A to see how that sounds...
And a surprisingly successful merger of Cutty Ranks and Abba with the awesome championship of "Limb Queen"
https://rave.dj/Mgv2ZGiuYfNnow
I giggled all the way through it. A flake of meliorate volume balancing where the two songs overlap and I'd play that at a party with no regrets...
prissy - every bit yous say, would be better if the Abba rail was lower in the mix when it kickoff comes in, but the timing and parts used to bring it in are spot on.
Perhaps the algorithm would do better with better quality versions of the track rather than youtube quality?
Pretty interesting. I used to be heavily into the mashup scene, even going so far every bit to make mashup.fm (some other turntable/plug.dj clone). Here's some of my favorite classical mashups alongside the rave.dj version:
This was the easiest as it's but a vocal track laid onto a beat, but information technology really jumps the tracks around a ton, seemingly randomly. It at to the lowest degree doesn't bound mid-measure though and fits with the beat.
The Neil C original is a classic, and actually fits two songs together that don't belong near each other. Rave plays the intros in sequential club, with vocals overlapping all over. They really demand a key channel filter to run across if they can pop the vocals out from the instrumentals. This is really a tuesday-surprise lunchroom goulash of a mashup, with a rather abrupt catastrophe.
This i really works considering of some of the more circuitous editing on Isosine's role. The rave one is a disaster. Feels like you're standing in between two parties that are blasting 2 jams, that but happened to accept their drops/choruses line upwardly.
This is a personal favorite, and I think information technology works because of how long the Hey Jude intro is. Information technology really means you forget most Kanye completely until he jumps in. Information technology works because of how deadening of a buildup Hey Jude is. The Rave version has no nuance here. They speed upward Hey Jude, up-pitching it in the process and making it sound similar Raffi or some other kid entertainer. They downwardly pitch Kanye, making him seem similar some gangsta thug. It really doesn't work at all.
------------------------------------
I actually desire this to go better, but I feel similar it needs to be trained more tricks (vocal separation for one) to really be worth it. Also modest QOL comeback would exist to allow yous to preview tracks before you add them to the mix. Hard to find one that's a practiced sound just rip of a song sometimes.
Love it!
What I observe very interesting is, the stability of the system. There must exist quite the heavy load on the machine: retrieval, analysis, tempo matching, mashup cosmos, encoding and all on a ~eleven hours HN-related stress test.
This one managed to match up the lyrics of two similarly-themed songs surprisingly well, assumedly by accident: https://rave.dj/y0GOaTZwBsEvYw. "But mighty fine only got you lot somewhere half the time, the other half either got you... eighteen years, and on the eighteenth birthday he found out it wasn't his!"
Considering information technology's ane of the rare electronic songs that became popular whose speed is ~100 BPM (BPM = beats per minute in this case). That makes information technology compatible with a lot of pop and hip hop songs. Add to that the fact that it contains almost no lyrics (while pop songs contain almost no low frequencies) and yous have a friction match.
Dearest the UI and UX and the idea, merely unfortunately the end event was impossible to listen to. Might've been just me picking two incompatible songs.
Useless. All the prog business firm tracks I would actually want to mix with a tool similar this are around ix minutes, which is "too long".
Effort adding more than than two songs, ideally 50 or more to requite the AI something to piece of work with. I'd recommend picking a YouTube playlist.
Seems to only be a beat matcher / BPM adjuster, which is interesting in itself, simply quite bones features in any DAW/DJing software.
This is how well thought out products look similar.

They downwardly pitch Kanye, making him seem similar some gangsta thug. It really doesn't work at all.

I actually desire this to go better, but I feel similar it needs to be trained more tricks (vocal separation for one) to really be worth it. Also modest QOL comeback would exist to allow yous to preview tracks before you add them to the mix. Hard to find one that's a practiced sound just rip of a song sometimes.
Love it!
What I observe very interesting is, the stability of the system. There must exist quite the heavy load on the machine: retrieval, analysis, tempo matching, mashup cosmos, encoding and all on a ~eleven hours HN-related stress test.
This one managed to match up the lyrics of two similarly-themed songs surprisingly well, assumedly by accident: https://rave.dj/y0GOaTZwBsEvYw. "But mighty fine only got you lot somewhere half the time, the other half either got you... eighteen years, and on the eighteenth birthday he found out it wasn't his!"
Considering information technology's ane of the rare electronic songs that became popular whose speed is ~100 BPM (BPM = beats per minute in this case). That makes information technology compatible with a lot of pop and hip hop songs. Add to that the fact that it contains almost no lyrics (while pop songs contain almost no low frequencies) and yous have a friction match.
Dearest the UI and UX and the idea, merely unfortunately the end event was impossible to listen to. Might've been just me picking two incompatible songs.
Useless. All the prog business firm tracks I would actually want to mix with a tool similar this are around ix minutes, which is "too long".
Effort adding more than than two songs, ideally 50 or more to requite the AI something to piece of work with. I'd recommend picking a YouTube playlist.
Seems to only be a beat matcher / BPM adjuster, which is interesting in itself, simply quite bones features in any DAW/DJing software.
