Quote from: der79sebas on Yesterday at 22:00I ask myself if AI will soon be able to create good recordings out of (possibly handwritten) scores. This would be a great possibility to listen to unsung music which would otherwise never be performed or recorded (e.g. the much too big operas of Wayditch).I often ask the same and have been casually following improvements in OMR (optical music recognition) software. It appears to me that handwritten recognition is still far off, since these programs are still cping with some basic issues in recognizing printed music. But I think we're getting close to submitting any printed notation to such software and having it produce a reliable, decent quality audio rendition without too much user input at all.
I think mainstream pop/rock music makers are much more in danger of losing their jobs to AI tools than the classical scene, where the market is (at least still for the most part) rather more conscious of the performers' actually performing music to an historically rooted and informed standard.
