  • I say this as a software developer and producer/dj hobbyist with a solid understanding of AI and it’s pitfalls:

    I genuinely have not had any kind of positive experience with LLMs and music writing. I hate Suno but it is at least trained on music. It can kinda approximate the target.

    But asking an LLM about music production has yielded so much garbage (likely because it has been trained on garbage- the music producer influencer sphere is notoriously full of bad and anti-creative advice).

    It’s generally ok for music theory, but ask for say, a sound design walkthrough and you’re gonna be left scratching your head. Ask it for arrangement advice and you’re gonna get incredibly generic advice. It hallucinates workflows and plugins between DAWs (i.e. suggesting using an Ableton plugin in FL). And like sure, I can

    So, I don’t think we’ve synthesized the requirements for getting a music production teacher out of llms yet. And to be clear, I hate where ai is taking the world and that it’s forcing questions about human authorship, but I’m also not a “everything it outputs is wrong” person. Just this specific use case isn’t there yet.












  • He’s chosen Anthropic which is complicit in a war, whose AI is being used by the military to further military interests. Out of many more ethical models out there, why go with that one specifically?

    In case this isn’t a rhetorical question, Claude is considered to be leading the pack for developer functionality. I can’t comment on the overall decision process, but it’s clear that lots of people a) don’t think about ethical concerns b) don’t prioritize them in decisions or c) align.

    All we can really do is ask that people consider these things or explain their process so we can make informed decisions.

    fwiw it’s worth I agree with your general points.







  • I notice there are only a couple replies here that have experience with music production. Obviously core desktop stuff works great, gaming is pretty universally fixed, but music production is a different story.

    I have extensive experience with linux and music production. You can use yabridge to run Windows VSTs. However, they can be extremely fussy with graphics compatibility. I estimate that I couldn’t manage to get about 20% of my plugins to work despite hours upon hours of troubleshooting. This is coming from a Linux-native software developer. If you’re just learning Linux, you could be in a world of pain.

    I’m sure folks out there have gotten all of it working individually, but I doubt anyone has your exact setup working perfectly.

    Ableton and FL Studio will have to be ran through Wine. I experienced major performance issues with FL Studio before switching to Bitwig.

    Linux is great. But the music production industry is not kind to it. If you’re cool with being a linux music producer you’ll have to accept that some things just will not work well. But if you want 100% access to everything you’re used to, stick with Windows.
