What If You Could Edit Audio Like MIDI?

Dr. Bill Evans returns to Real Music to demonstrate Prism, a performance-level music technology that can transform recorded audio into something musicians can edit with the flexibility of MIDI while preserving the identity, feel, and intent of the original performer. Bill shows how Prism can isolate individual notes, reconstruct missing sounds, alter timing, change instruments and microphones, control ambience, and reshape a recorded performance without replacing the musician behind it. The goal is not to generate a generic imitation. It is to preserve what makes that specific musician sound like themselves. We also discuss whether easier creative tools can expand musical expression, why traditional audio production methods may be limiting, and how new technology could give musicians more control in the age of generative AI. As Bill puts it, AI itself is neither good nor bad. The question is how we use it. Prism is being developed as a tool that enhances human performance and gives musicians new ways to remain creative, expressive, and relevant. 🌐 More from Real Music: https://www.realmusic.ai
