That’s pretty much been the story since the Neolithic revolution though?

"Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

Basically the same thing musicians said about the synth and music made by computers back in the day

very cool idea

It shall also allow to make re-recordings in higher quality of stuff that are impossible to find in good quality. Like that cover that that band played only once at that obscure concert and that was recorded on an old tape. Or many very old reggae songs: although many from Jamaica/Kingston had great recordings (there was know-how and great recording studios there) there's also a shitload of old reggae songs that are just barely listenable to because the recording is so poor (and, no, it's not an artistic choice by the artist: it's just, you know, a crappy recording).

Footsteps worked pretty well when I tried that on the other hand. I wonder if lot of it has to do with how well the model understands what the english description of the sound should sound like...
