What is an Artist Brain?
At DataMind Audio, instead of producing large models that can make any sound, we create small models that only imitate one artist at a time. We call these small, customized, fine-tuned neural networks (aka models) “Artist Brains”.
While popular large AI models produce text and images based on text prompts, our AI-powered VST audio effect, The Combobulator, uses neural audio synthesis to produce a timbral “style-transfer” from a real-time audio input signal. As a live audio signal passes into our VST’s input, the AI re-synthesizes the input signal based on the Artist Brain, and a new output sound is synthesized! The Combobulator also features familiar synthesis modulators, which can alter the way the audio is interpreted and synthesized, allowing for explorations of the Artist Brain far beyond direct interpretations of the input audio signal.
Artist Brains are not capable of plagiarizing artists. They do not make music for you, and they only vaguely resemble the artists the models are trained on. You can not slap the Combobulator on the master channel and hope to pass yourself off as the artist that the model was trained on.
Artist Brains produce a “hallucinated” range of timbres based on the culminated features of the original audio database supplied by the artists we work with.Â
While it may not sound like an actual replica of your sound, our team of Model Reliability Engineers strive to capture an aspect of the artist’s essence in the Artist Brain.
How does DataMind Audio train Artist Brains?
Can I make my own models for the Combobulator?
That said, we recognize the immediate demand for users to train and use their own models, and we are taking this into consideration as we continue into our next phase of product development.
