Sorry Brian, we’ll just have to characterize our opinions as unchangeable. I can’t wrap my head around using samples without the artist’s permission. If someone wants to use the actual voice of Barbra Streisand in their production, without Streisand’s permission that’s fine with udio, but not with me. I’m thinking this technology is all part of the “creating an equal playing field” mass mentality. Also, a shortcut for aspiring artists and composers that want to skip the learning process. No need to practice, study, or understand the elements of music, composing & songwriting any longer, it’s all there for you with just the touch of a computer key. As far as composing/ songwriting, I’m sure all you’ll get out of udio is a watered-down version of pre-existing works – nothing original. Like mixing all the colors together and ending up with mud. If udio wants to be legit, let them make their own samples and grooves. Though I reckon udio is relying on AI to create their program anyway. So Brian, I don’t think we’ll find any common ground here. Not that we have to.
Best, John
