Exploring New Tools for Composing

I’ve been diving deep into some of the newer AI-driven software tools for composing music. It’s fascinating how they can generate melodies and harmonies, but what’s truly exciting is how they can help musicians push their creative boundaries. Has anyone else started using these tools, and if so, what’s been your experience?

I’ve been using AI tools to help with chord progressions, and it’s been a game changer in breaking through creative blocks. I agree that they push boundaries, but they can sometimes lead you toward formulaic sounds if you’re not careful. Have you found any specific tools that really resonate with your style?

I’ve found tools like Aiva really help in shaping ideas quickly, especially with melodies; have you tried using specific genres for inspiration?

These AI tools really can spark creativity! I’ve been experimenting with some melodies and found that genre-specific prompts help a lot… What software are you using most often?
