Google should build a VST/AU Metadata Bridge instead of another AI generator

1•yoekimera•1h ago
PROPOSAL: THE GOOGLE AUDIO MESH PROTOCOL Transforming Google into the Global Infrastructure for Music Production 1. The Core Vision / La Visión Central EN: To replace the obsolete "Stem Export" workflow with a metadata-driven synchronization layer. Google becomes the global "Master Vault," hosting not just final songs, but the entire creative process (every take and multitrack) via a simple VST/AU plugin bridge. ES: Reemplazar el flujo obsoleto de "Exportación de Stems" con una capa de sincronización basada en metadatos. Google se convierte en la "Bóveda Maestra" global, albergando no solo canciones finales, sino todo el proceso creativo (cada toma y multitrack) a través de un simple puente VST/AU. ________________________________________ 2. Technical Architecture / Arquitectura Técnica EN: • The VST/AU Bridge: A lightweight plugin inserted into any DAW (Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools). It acts as a "State Sync" engine. • Metadata over Binaries: The plugin does not re-upload audio. It sends JSON Deltas (instructions of cuts, fades, and positions). The heavy audio assets remain local or sync in the background via WebRTC (P2P). • Smart Assets: Google Drive acts as a Virtual File System. If a collaborator lacks a sample, the plugin streams it on-demand from the owner's machine or the cloud. ES: • El Puente VST/AU: Un plugin ligero insertado en cualquier DAW. Actúa como un motor de "Sincronización de Estado". • Metadatos sobre Binarios: El plugin no resube el audio. Envía Deltas JSON (instrucciones de cortes, fades y posiciones). El audio pesado permanece local o se sincroniza en segundo plano mediante WebRTC (P2P). • Activos Inteligentes: Google Drive actúa como un sistema de archivos virtual. Si a un colaborador le falta un sample, el plugin lo transmite bajo demanda desde la máquina del dueño o la nube. ________________________________________ 3. Business & Ecosystem / Negocio y Ecosistema EN: • YouTube Music Integration: Direct-to-stream pipeline. Once the JSON map is finalized, Google renders the master in the cloud and publishes it to the Artist's profile. • Artist Premium Tier: A subscription model where musicians get unlimited asset storage, real-time collaboration tools, and advanced analytics on how fans interact with "work-in-progress" demos. • The "Master Vault": Google becomes the world's record label without owning a single studio. By hosting the raw multitracks of every production, Google owns the technological foundation of the global music heritage. ES: • Integración con YouTube Music: Tubería directa al streaming. Una vez que el mapa JSON finaliza, Google renderiza el máster en la nube y lo publica en el perfil del artista. • Nivel Premium para Artistas: Un modelo de suscripción donde los músicos obtienen almacenamiento ilimitado, herramientas de colaboración en tiempo real y analíticas avanzadas sobre cómo los fans interactúan con demos en progreso. • La "Bóveda Maestra": Google se convierte en el sello discográfico del mundo sin tener un solo estudio. Al albergar los multitracks crudos de cada producción, Google posee la base tecnológica del patrimonio musical global. ________________________________________ 4. Why Google? / ¿Por qué Google? EN: No other company can combine Cloud Infrastructure (Drive), Real-time Comms (WebRTC), and Distribution (YouTube) into a single VST. This isn't just a tool; it's the colonization of the professional creative process. ES: Ninguna otra empresa puede combinar Infraestructura en la nube (Drive), Comunicaciones en tiempo real (WebRTC) y Distribución (YouTube) en un solo VST. Esto no es solo una herramienta; es la colonización del proceso creativo profesional.
