I prefer the studio JLB of today vs. JLB of Awake

Wow, this is fucking terrible.  I'm not understanding the point of these.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Yeah, I am refusing to click on any of these AI generated vocal videos.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

And probably are earning $0.00 for it so I think it's probably more for fun.

All of these AI tracks are pretty much bullshit.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Same.

I saw one linked on Reddit the other day where someone re-did all of The Astonishing with different singers doing the various parts.  In theory, that might make that album a lot more interesting, but I was not going to go there.

That said, haven't seen SeRoX in a while now, he left the building?

Out of curiosity, why?  I find it mildly interesting to see how AI is being used.

Same here as well. I'm 100% not interested.

Fair question.  I've listened to a few of them, and they're just weird.  They're only slightly better than the NOMAC tracks.

Weird is putting it kindly.  I think they suck - but I'm not refusing to click on 'em... some of them I just don't have any interest.  Nothing I've heard in any of the others makes me want to finish the listen, or ever come back to it.

Surely there's more productive things we can do with AI as opposed to recreating The Astonishing!  :lol
