The music industry is undergoing a significant shift due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Let's explore how AI is changing the landscape of music production:

1. AI Music and Creativity:

- AI-powered tools provide musicians with an expansive palette of sounds, styles, and possibilities.

- Artists can experiment with unconventional chord progressions, blend genres, and create unique compositions using AI-generated music.

2. Musical Sketches with Notes:

- The iOS app "Ableton Note" allows musicians to sketch musical ideas, experiment with sounds, and play with song structures.

- These sketches can be further developed in Ableton Live 12 to create full tracks.

3. Transcribing Piano Music:

- Tools like "Piano2Notes" accurately transcribe piano music into sheet notation.

- Musicians can capture their original compositions or master existing pieces by converting piano recordings into sheet music.

4. Replacing Original Samples with Custom Sounds:

- In Ableton Live 12, use the Slicer feature within the Simpler device.

- Import your own samples and slice them into smaller segments.

- Adjust slice markers to define where the slices occur.

- Trigger these custom slices using MIDI notes, replacing the original samples.

In summary, AI music expands creative boundaries, making music accessible to a wider audience.
