Show HN: Jukedeck – create unique, royalty-free music for your videos using A.I.

Will look forward to drilling down into your samples, once the site stops getting slammed. In the meantime, you may want to replace the live auto-generation demo with a genuinely random (i.e. non-upvoted, or otherwise curated) pre-generated samples (that is to say: fairly representative of your automatic generative process, even though they happen to be pre-recorded).

Being as every second is precious, to a first-time user of your site. And as we know, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo."

Thanks for this - just to check, which demo are you talking about? Do you mean when you create a track straight from the homepage? Because if so, that's not curated!

Yeah, the demo on the front page where you get to choose from a couple of parameters. From a UX standpoint, there's no reason those samples need to be live-generated. A random pick from a large number of pre-generated samples (i.e. a large-ish pool of static samples, for each parameterized setting) will have the same effect, and give the user a much quicker response.

Ah - understood. The generation process is actually exactly the same on the homepage as on the dashboard, so what you're hearing is a genuine, non-curated example of our music!

Yeah, that would be a hella curation job given the amount of possible permutations.
