I'm starting to get disturbed at how many people are still on this GenAI train. Like, am I seriously the only one here who recognizes and acknowledges.the various ways that these "tools" make the world objectively worse, with the only benefit being that people can make grotesque slop that...

Ah. Yeah I've been gone for like 2 years so definitely haven't seen that. What I was going to do would absolutely be more generative AI than the rules allow. I may or may not post something in the reviews thread depending on if I end up satisfied with it enough to do that. Actually scratch that, I ...

For folks who haven't seen it we have added an AI related section to the FAQ: https://songfight.org/faq.html#ai So if you want to play around with AI, for anything fully AI generated we're not really interested at this point including it in fights if we can help it. But you're welcome to share it o...

I'm possibly going to be in but if I am it will be with a song that deliberately involves a lot of AI, as I'm trying to get better with it for (non musical) work purposes. I will submit as something like "<name of obviously fictional singer> featuring <one of my band names>" to make no pre...

Oh man, this is gonna be tricky with that short deadline but the title just begs for a countryish song, which I haven't done in a while. Imma try to get in this.

The music reminds me fondly of open-mic jams. It is exactly a jam. That’s captured early in the process when I’m just laying down some tracks to sketch out the general sound of the song. This would all presumably get re-recorded once lyrics were written. Notice the keyboard is literally just 1 bar ...

in the interest of keeping myself honest and making sure I don't try to recycle any part of this in the next fight I actually manage to be in, I am revealing what I had recorded at the moment when I gave up trying to get something in before they post the songs. https://jeff-robertson.com/flvxx/sf/fl...

I’m not sure I hate anything enough to use it for this optional challenge while also wanting to listen to it enough to steal it

Add : This is like some uncanny valley shit here. The contrast of "yes, this is some sort of indie rock band" instrumentation with chopped-up loops-and-samples "oh, this is a DJ" production is disorienting. Like, what is foreground and what is background? Are the takes the "...

Oh yeah Here it comes You got me digging me like a dirty dirty dog You got me jumpin like a old bull frog You got me sneaking round like a snake in the grass You got me coming hard and you got me coming fast Animal woman, you drive me wild! Man or Beast, I love you chile! (Solo) Wooo! Alright! Yeah!...

Submitted after the deadline with something really silly. Guitar, bass (which is also guitar), drum machine, vocals. 4 tracks, exactly, like a 4-track. Sounds like fog hats version of “I just want to make love to you”, as played by a half-assed stooges tribute “band” of the aforementioned instrument...

Flxxvm Fru.... - Ceasefire Now. I think this is a collab. It was not a collab. If the reason you suspected a collab was the vocals sounding so different than my prior entry, that is entirely due to my voice being shredded by the time I did this take. See, the song was originally supposed to be some...

The lack of reverb made it sound unnatural, which would be my only criticism for your track here. I don't tiktok so I don't know how much reverb you'd typically add but here's some more reverb (there WAS a tiny amount already) and slowed down 5% which is about the most I can do without giving the v...

So, kind of both and neither. For a while I had a vintage Acoustic 126 bass amp, and if you turned it past 5 it sounded just like that. Good to know you can get the same effect without making your ears bleed. I just went and looked at the actual effects chain, and realized most of the fuzz on that ...

Thankfully the challenge is to not use it, and TBH that should always be part of the implied challenge. Well, yeah, but when everybody keeps talking about AI then I'm gonna at least go see what it does, curiosity and cats all that. My curiousity was satisfied that I can write better lyrics than the...

Is that fuzz bass, or just an overworked amp?

It's a clean electric guitar (not bass) recorded direct into the interface, pitch shifted down an octave, and then run through an amp simulation plugin that is set for some overdrive.

Man, these recent 2 fights have been my first back since an AI capable of writing lyrics was available. For two fights I resisted the temptation to plug the title into Bing and let 'er rip, but this time, after the admonishment of the optional challenge, I've tried it already. I'm gonna go stash the...

I sing the vocals. But the vocals are put through an AI filter to sound like someone else.

I've been considering doing something like that, as I can easily conceive of writing songs that need to sound like a different person is singing, and no time to organize a collaboration.

I plan to be in as many fights as possible in 2024, so I should be in this one.

After several days trying to do a convincing song that you could put up against actual metal bands, but with a drum machine and no bass, I decided the best I can do for these lyrics is "insane man playing on a street corner as people walk by uncomfortably".
