Artificial Intelligence for Music & Audio: Using AI to Isolate Instruments for Music Transcription

Access Free Music Resources: https://berkonl.in/3HPNkYL

In this video from Berklee Online’s four-week AI for Music and Audio course, course author Dr. Carlos Arana shares his experience at Hal Leonard Publishing, where he was tasked with transcribing the complete scores of the classic bossa nova album “Getz/Gilberto” by Stan Getz and João Gilberto. Dr. Arana says piecing out all of the instruments, when the only tools at his disposal were a record player and the record itself, was quite an undertaking. Since the experience made him listen to each track of the record so many times and with so much intention, he found he had very little interest in listening to that album again for many years later. But this anecdote comes from a different era, he says, and nowadays we have an array of tools that can help musicians with these more automated, “pause and start over” types of processes. Instead of working extra hard to make sure whether a note is being played by an alto sax opposed to a tenor, AI tools can make it possible to separate the stems of a song, so you can listen more easily to each instrument with intention and clarity. You can even use tools that can transcribe the stems to MIDI, which you can later copy into a notation software.
