AI Generated Books for Composers (Updated 30/09/24)
Recently I've developed a tool, to create books on any subject I want using AI. I'm not sharing this anywhere else but here, since they are made exclusively for self-learning. You can find the books here: https://kadobot.github.io/books/ Update 30/09: Added the book "Composing & Producing in the Minimalist Style of Phillip Glass and Arvo Pรคrt"

@Alex Pfeffer you don't. Otherwise, every single person on earth would be famous on the Internet and have 300 million followers. It's a trial-and-error thing, and you have to figure out what your public likes. But "just post, no matter what" is a wrong suggestion. Unfortunately some "overthinking" is needed, otherwise, there wouldn't be social media agencies. But I won't go that far, but simple "overthinking" features like when, what to post, etc. Makes a huge difference.

@Alex Pfeffer The video I watched was the same as everyone else watched. If the message I got from the video is not what you meant to pass, I'm sorry that I got it this way, but maybe others get the same message as me. It's not about being helpful to me or not, but there are almost a thousand people here who are here for your guidance and will do what you do, who are trying to be a little successful as you are. That's also the reason I'm here. I'm good at what I do in my job, but still I make mistakes and when I do, I would like, it if someone know that I'm wrong, that they let me know. And answering your question, that's what I tried to achieve here. But it seems that I got the wrong message from your video, so feel free to delete my comments, if you feel that they are misleading.
Cinematic Music: Full Breakdown or Step-by-Step tracks?
Hi beautiful artists and hello to you Cinematic Music Course students. To the latter, this post is for you. As you can see, theres a step-by-step track creation module for an epic track in the course to show you a basic method for writing. Now, my plan was next to begin work writing fully produced tracks and then thoroughly breaking down for you in each of the 4 styles (Epic, Modern Orchestral, Film/Romance/Emotional and Golden-Age Cinema music style; similar to the way Alex does it in his trailer course with the Chaos Theory tracks). However, as I was planning for this, a question came to mind: Do you prefer the breakdown-walkthrough method (which takes longer to make but allows me to write far more polished professional level tracks such as the ones I make for my clients)? Or, do you prefer the step-by-step, build-from scratch method for each style (which is faster, but less polished as I would never send music that I made in 2 or 3 hours to a client unless I was on some extremely tight deadline)? In short: Breakdown-Walkthrough Method will help you peer into a fully built and produced track, but without the step by step process of seeing how it was built (Iยดll still break it down part by part though, of course). Step-by-step will show you the process of writing in each style on the fly, but the resulting track will serve more of a demonstration process. What do you prefer? Eager to hear your thoughts!

Step by step. The other way never really clicks for me. I need to know what's going on in your head and your creativity process, even if the track is not production ready. When going through existing songs, something is always skipped/forgotten, and seeing a cluttered DAW from the very beginning makes the learning process much more difficult for me. In the trailer music course the exclusive tracks section was way more helpful for me.

@Ariel Yznardo I'm watching a video tutorial at this exact moment, where the composer is recreating one of his well know songs. So maybe that's something you could do? That would make both sides happy. What do you think?
Free AI stem splitter that works with videos
Hey team, recently I discovered UVR5. A free tool that uses AI models to remove vocals from songs and split stems (6 different tracks). Surprisingly it also works with videos! I've been mainly using this tool for two things: - Practising a specific instrument: I want to improve my drum programming skills. For that, I split the stems, imported them into my DAW, and muted the drum track. Then I write the drums myself. During this process, I often do the reverse process. I mute all the tracks but the drums, to see how I compare to the existing drums. - Composing for trailers: After splitting the stems of a video trailer and importing them on my DAW, I mark the breaks (intro, main, climax, etc...) and then I start composing, strictly following those marks. After I'm done (that never happened, I'm still to finish a track using this method ๐Ÿ˜) I see how my track fits in that existing trailer. If you are interested in doing the same as me, download UVR5. After that, go to the settings and download the htdemucs_6s (Demucs) model (This AI model splits into 6 stems). After the model is downloaded, choose the DEMUCS process model, and the model you just downloaded. Click the select input, and select the audio/video track you want to split. And wait... this process might take some time depending on your machine. Let me know if I can help you with something! Cheers.

@Eric Bryant free and open source. The stems are not perfect, sometimes one instrument track might include another... but besides that, nothing I can think of!

@Dag Ove Vareberg exactly, you download from within the app itself.
Distribution
What y'all using for music distribution these days? I've started with DistroKid, but I cannot see my stats unless I pay an extra fee, which bugs me. Besides that, I also need to pay extra if I want to get commissioned when my track is used. So I'm curious to know what are your choices when choosing who to distribute your music.

@Alex Pfeffer Just to be clear, it's not about paying. But it's about how it's handled, this micro transactions is not something that I enjoy, so I rather pay a little extra in the beginning and nothing later. That's why I asked if there were better alternatives to DistroKid, and what everyone else was using.
