Episode 45: AI Landscape

Send us Fan MailAI Music on Streaming Platforms: Bandcamp’s Ban, Spotify’s Embrace, and the AIODE Session-Musician ToolHosts Rich Bozic and Justin Hochella  begin by briefly discussing busy studio work and Justin's new Logic Pro Launch Pad course at logicprolaunchpad.com, then sharing recent podcast listener cities worldwide. The episode turns to AI in music, contrasting Bandcamp’s stated policy (posted January 13, 2026) banning music generated wholly or in substantial part by AI and prohibiting AI impersonation, with Spotify’s more welcoming stance toward AI-generated music and concerns about labeling, artist impact, and potential platform incentives. They also discuss AIODE (A-I-O-D-E), a tool that can import a song and generate instrument parts (e.g., bass, guitar, trumpets) based on real musicians’ performances, noting both its practical uses and risks of enabling fully AI-created songs. They conclude that AI cannot replicate human lived experience and artistic expression.00:00 Welcome and Updates01:00 Logic Pro Course Launch03:03 Podcast Listener Stats04:38 AI Music Topic Setup05:49 Bandcamp Bans Generative AI12:41 Spotify Embraces AI Slop15:39 Should AI Music Be Labeled17:09 AIODE AI Session Musician21:51 Is AI a Tool or Replacement28:09 Human Experience vs AI30:39 Recap and Sign OffFor Production Services, Coaching and Lessons, visit:www.rjbmusicproduction.comFor help prepping your songs/voice for the studio:www.bozicvoicestudio.com----https://www.youtube.com/@FaceYourEarsPodcast/shortshttps://www.faceyourears.comhttps://www.instagram.com/faceyourearspodcast/https://www.facebook.com/people/Face-Your-Ears-Podcast/
