AI is increasingly playing a role in how people compose and produce music:
Inspiration & Ideas - AI music apps like Amadeus Code provide an endless stream of original melodies and chord progressions that songwriters can use as jumping-off points for new compositions. The AI suggests novel musical building blocks.
Lyrics - Apps like SongWriter generate lyrical ideas using algorithms trained on hits, allowing customization of the genre, concepts, rhyme schemes, and more to support the songwriting process.
Musical Arrangements - Once the foundation of a song exists, AI can recommend arrangements like what instruments or tempo would match the emotion and style of the piece. It accelerates experimentation.
Notation & Sheet Music - Converts audio recordings or MIDI files into properly notated sheet music automatically. This assists with transcription, publishing, and analysis.
Production & Mixing - Algorithms help optimize multi-track production by assessing qualities like frequency balance, ambiance, loudness dynamics, and more. Takes guesswork out of production decisions.
In short, AI fuels creativity by surfacing promising musical building blocks that would take a human much longer to think up. It also lends its precision in translating musical ideas between audio, symbolic notation, and parameter control faster than humans could work. This expands creative possibilities.
Does AI, then, take away the necessity of having a blank sheet of paper at the ready to compose music?
Having a blank sheet of paper available does still serve an important purpose in music composition, even with the rise of AI-assisted tools. Here's why the blank page remains key:
Capturing Initial Sparks - When inspiration first strikes for a melody, lyric line, or chord change, composers need a quick way to sketch it out before forgetting. A blank page allows jotting music notation without switching apps.
Freedom of Expression - A blank page has no constraints, allowing free-flowing experimentation with musical ideas. This raw creative space spurs novelty and may create unexpected directions an AI app may overlook or not understand initially.
Room for Reflection - After ideation, staring at a blank part of the page allows composers to contemplate their next steps, try variations in their head, consider arrangements, etc. The space invites reflection.
Iterative Development - Pages with earlier lyric drafts or chord option scribbles capture the iterative growth process. Crossing out and reworking musical themes is key.
In essence, while AI aids productivity in music drafting, nothing fully replaces having an open space to capture creativity as it strikes, ponder possibilities, and fluidly develop compositions through an iterative try-fail-improve cycle.
So keep ample blank sheets handy when composing alongside any AI tools!

Since
1980, Susan's involvement in publishing - in one form or another - led
her to create "reviews" of products related to the publishing
industry. She realized it was time to explain how she created all those books and got them to market.
