They do write piano parts, but I usually have to tweak them, change them, cut and combine them etc. If I were John and played the piano and knew music theory beyond the basics of major keys...I could be a lot more effective with it as a tool. John knows how to add "color" to a major chord progression with sus4ths and minor7ths, etc. I cant seem to ever get the hang of that.

Nonetheless, metaphorically speaking, me using TOONTRACKS is like a soldier strapping on an exo-skeleton that enables him to run 30 miles an hour. I bring in the plug-in into my DAW and presto, I am a piano composer/producer with a few clicks. (sort of)

AI, to my view, is different. It appears that it will have the capacity to replace the soldier altogether and run 100 miles an hour.


We'll see.
That's the main difference it's a artist for hire in a sense. Your a business owner /bar , you hire an artist to work for you.

In some ways it's a similar model as fiverr. You could get fiverr to do everything except put their name on it

Usually it's a lyricist hiring musicians to record and produce their would be song.

Here, fiverr is replaced by software who probably does it better and one price gets you all fiverr can offer.

Id still rather work with other musicians, but....
