Music technology is constantly evolving, and the possibilities for what we can do as musicians and music lovers seems to always be expanding into areas that we\u2019d never thought would be possible. From the creation and production process to the editing and mastering stages, innovative tools and platforms have emerged in recent years that enable musicians and enthusiasts to explore new dimensions in their musical expression. For years I have been reluctant to advance my knowledge of music technology\u2014mostly due to an unfounded nervousness about old dogs and new tricks. But in the past few months I set out to use as many of these music technology tools as possible. For better or for worse, here\u2019s my own personal experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moises.ai leverages artificial intelligence algorithms to separate individual tracks from a mixed audio file, which basically means you can extract vocals, drums, bass lines, and other elements of an existing song with remarkable accuracy. Moises.ai can be helpful for learning parts of a song that might have otherwise seemed too buried in a mix. I wish they had this tool around when I was learning bass guitar as a teenager, because isolating an instrument eliminates all doubt of what the part is. If there\u2019s any further doubt about what your part is, the platform also offers real-time key and chord recognition. But this isn\u2019t what I used the heavy duty music technology of Moises.ai for! I used Moises.ai to remix a friend\u2019s band\u2019s song that I always wished had a little more kick. In addition to adjusting the original levels, I was also able to import an isolated fuzz guitar from a different version of the song and lay it on top of the remixed version. Though Moises.ai is not the first platform to isolate tracks, it certainly is the best that I\u2019ve tried. My experience with this music technology was refreshing in that the platform was intuitive and fun to play around with, but most importantly, I got the results I was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
