Ah, the ever existential question of how machine automation has seized of various aspects of our lives and continues to do so. With the increasing size of leaps taken in processing technology, AIs are becoming self-reliant (somewhat) on nuanced heavy task as well. Numerous interesting developments have taken place regarding this futuristic sector in the music industry and remains a hot topic to be talked about.

This month witnessed the German based Algoriddim, known for their digital DJ softwares offerings on mobile platforms, revealed Neural Mix. This feature supposedly has capability to make an entire mixtape, yes an entire say hour of spinning the decks by itself. While I don’t comprehend the interiors of this software, it is said to have advanced audio-manipulating capabilities of a professional sound engineer (as stated by the CEO Karim Mosey).

However this is just the tip of the iceberg. Global insignia Sensorium has already taken a step further, having specialization in all things VR. Their motif is a lengthy one to be explained in this article alone, as they have already collaborated with top icons of the EDM scene, ranging from David Guetta to Carl Cox. Their latest innovation is AI-powered DJs that can sense the crowd’s reaction to curate music, analyzing their mood to accommodate accordingly.

The question that always come, as I started this written piece with how soon that this invention will be perfect to replace actual performers. Candidly speaking, it might take years to fine-tune these sort of advancements, yet always remaining at the brink of reality. Whatever the case might be, the future remains an exciting prospect with such ever-changing things.
