30-year DTM veteran: AI sound sources are closing in on real performances
yawnxyz · x · 2026-11-11
A Japanese DTM (desktop music) veteran reflects that 30 years ago people said guitars and violins couldn't be reproduced by DTM; today's sound sources get much closer to live-performance nuance. The string ensemble here was programmed using keyswitch articulations, and he expects creators will soon seriously adopt AI-powered sound sources like ACE Studio.
His conclusion: parts of music production where "experience and technique are no longer an advantage" will keep growing, so veteran creators' biggest challenge is keeping up with change — clinging to the past is the greatest enemy (a warning to himself).
