We work with what we have. We don't have a lot of recordings of the physical movements of musicians; we have recordings.

Similarly, we don't have recordings of the actions of painters; we have finished paintings -- but if you're not impressed with what AI can do in the visual sphere, your standards are, to put it mildly, high.

I'm not really sure how to take this. We absolutely have recordings of instruments. You can buy them as complete sets. You train on complete recordings, and then tell it how to use the sampled instruments to compose a song in the style of the trained data. Building something to make a waveform that looks like another waveform just seems like a very odd direction to take.

Yes, my standards are if it isn't at least as good as what's available now, what's the point.
