Amper raises $4M to use AI to write music

This looks promising. Having spent many years editing stock music for video we'd spend considerable time not only finding the right mood/genre but also editing the track to make it seem like it was "composed" specifically for the video. So, I think this solution only addresses half the problem.

What would be better is if you could download the individual tracks to import into a DAW where you could further edit/manipulate them to get that more custom sound. I went through the "Pro" tutorial and this wasn't an option.

so would you like some kind of tool within the timeline of the video in order to express things? Like some way to specify the a value corresponding to a dimension of the mood? What else would be useful? Perhaps a way to place a crescendo or a bridge? Would an option to do a MIDI export be useful?

I have no dogs in this fight, just curious.

So you'd want them in STEMs essentially right? I'm not a huge fan of the format package that DJs have sometimes used, but do understand what the legacy term means. Having one track for drums, keys, ambience, etc. That could be helpful from a tweaking / editing / fitting angle maybe?

I imagine you could generate MIDI files to get most of a song and then edit them as you see fit
