Are there any musicians out there that make music any more without A I? I can't seem to find on on Broadjam any more..... Sorry if that's your thing - but what happened to the organic musicians that used to write and perform????
Are you NUTS!! I write everything and have a copy of everything in my DAW. I decided a while back that my goal was to make the best-sounding song possible. After I write EVERYTHING (lyrics and music) and record it in my DAW, I run my demo through AI because I can't afford horns or background singers or a studio to record. AI produces my song and does the mix. All the guitar riffs you hear in my music I WROTE; most of the solos are played note for note, so don't go saying I don't write or perform. I don't go to your job and kick the bedpan out of your hand. Don't talk about something you know nothing about!!!! MKP
I agree with Memphis Kenny P. I write all my own lyrics...always have. I played guitar, sang, and wrote songs for 60 years. But now that I have arthritis in my fingers and my singing doesn't cut it anymore, I'm enjoying the ability to still create music with the AI tools. And with my added violins, bass, cellos and even vocals and guitar where I can in my DAW, I've completed the creative process for myself. If you don't like it, just don't listen to it. BTW, I don't accept someone calling themselves songwriters who push one button and out pops a song from AI (with crappy lyrics I might add). Those people should not consider themselves song "writers" in my opinion. Just sayin'.
Same here. I've spent thousands recording in Nashville and Texas and upstate NY studios and have made next to nothing because they don't take "outside cuts". Well, I write my words and music and use AI to produce my songs now. It saves me a fortune and gives me personal satisfaction. I love using studio musicians, and I have given plenty. The problem is the industry has never given anything back. At least if they turn my songs down now, I'm not out thousands of dollars any more.
Never meant any disrespect to anyone. I've been on Broadjam for 20+ years. Now almost every song sounds over-produced and has the 'signature' AI sounding guitar and drum tracks. Previously, this platform was used for unsigned artists showcasing their original material. While the recording back then was far from polished, it had an authentic feel to it. Now, it's 90% prompters putting AI 'WRITEN' and 'PERFORMED' songs. I have no problem with using AI to finish or 'polish' a song. I use AI plug-ins for some mastering and even vocal replacement but I write my own music and lyrics - and play my instrumentation or have guests in my studio lay down tracks. I guess this is the future of music these days...
Mitch Cooper, no disrespect taken. I think we're just outlining writing from our own perspective. From what you say, I think I'm basically on the same page with you. There is such debate about this changing world of music. I've lived both sides...played, sang and wrote my tail off for 60, and If I use AI for 40/50% of my songs with instruments and vocals, I'm ok with that. My only other option is to stop writing completely...and that ain't going to happen. Take care
I do think you disrespected me! If a song sounds good, what do you care about how it's written or recorded? If you don't like it, don't listen to it. I'm tired of people trying to tell other people what to do and how to do it. Do you remember the crap sampling started, and now it's in all kinds of stuff. The horse-and-buggy people fought very hard to keep automobiles from being sold, and now everyone has a car or truck. It's technology. You can't stop it. Why would you want to? You do what you want to do and any way you want to do it, but don't complain about how others do theirs. I'm sorry, but you struck a nerve! I write my songs, and who the hell are you to tell me how to record them? MKP
My publisher in LA said that any of her writers that use AI for ANYTHING will be dropped from their catalog. She said she wants songs that are only 100% real musicians. The thing she doesn't realize is, probably 90% + of her current catalog has music with drum machines, samples, string machines, harmonizers, fake horns, bass etc. The only difference is they don't refer to that as AI. Apparently a real person still programmed the drum and string machines, harmonizers etc. I guess they don't realize real people also created the AI software programs. Probably some of the same people who programmed drums and strings etc. If that's the case this publisher should dump almost their entire catalog because those programs were used to replace real live musicians. Just saying, it will all come down to the money. The record companies didn't mind replacing expensive orchestra's with a keyboard and take work away from hundreds of musicians. I would image soon movie companies will hire a couple staff writers and us AI to do most of the music in house. I would prefer to use all live musicians, but cost wise that's not possible. You can spend thousands of dollars producing a few songs with all live musicians in a great studio with a good producer that sound great only to have the publishers say, what else ya got?
I have experienced just the opposite regarding AI from publishers. My publisher actually talked to several sync licensing and film supervisors about this issue with AI and they all said it didn't matter as long as it fulfilled their musical needs. So there's that...
Glad to hear some are open to it. I think soon they will have no choice not to accept it. If not they may start losing out placements top other companies.
I got the impression from "One Night Stand" publishing that lyric's, music and vocals all created by AI was not acceptable.
This is my first attempt at songwriting, and I've really enjoyed the creative process. I have a passion for writing lyrics, and although I don't compose music or sing, I use AI as a tool to help bring my words to life. It allows me to hear how my lyrics might sound when paired with music and melodies, which has been a wonderful way to explore this new side of my love for writing.
Hi Mitch Cooper, I recently came across your music on Broadjam and really enjoyed it " Maybe I Just Need The Light". I work with independent artists on expanding the reach of music that already has potential, from building stronger discovery across Spotify, YouTube, and social platforms to identifying opportunities around sync, playlists, and broader audience growth. I noticed a few things about your music that made me think there could be some worthwhile opportunities to explore. I'd be happy to share a couple of ideas specifically around your work. Are you open to taking a look? Reach me directly at timothytthomas86@gmail.com. Best, Timothy Verified Sync & music growth specialist
Yikes, this sounds great Mitch, nice work, wow...
Hey Mitch, I'll be straight with you: your music has sync value, but it's likely not being positioned to generate income right now. I help artists fix that. As a Sync Licensing & Catalog Consultant, I focus on turning catalogs into monetizable assets targeting real placement opportunities, not guesswork. If you're serious about getting your music into film, TV, or ads, I can walk you through what needs to change and how to make your catalog work for you. Let me know if you want in. Best Wishes, Bucci Your Partner in Sync, Licensing & Catalog Monetization
Hi Mitch, I've been reviewing a few catalogs on Broadjam, and your name came up in that process. I work closely with artists on the sync side, specifically identifying what's actually holding strong records back from being considered for placements. I'd like to take one of your tracks through a Sync-Ready Audit. That means looking beyond the music itself and into the details that supervisors quietly filter for metadata structure, registration alignment, and overall pitch readiness. Just a clear breakdown of where your track stands and what could make it more placement-ready. If you're open to it, send me a link to the track you'd want reviewed: wuradigitals@gmail.com Best regards, Wura Digital Services Sync Strategy & Catalog Development
Hey Mitch Cooper, your tracks are amazing and i can notice your putting in effort! I help artists like you get more eyes and ears on their music especially on Youtube & Spotify, plus opportunities to monetize and get licensing placements. I can run tracks recalibration for you so you can see real results. if your interested, Kindly reach out to me directly: joshuajeremiah215@gmail.com
The production here is really clean! Did you handle the mix yourself?
Hi Mitch Cooper, I just listened to your track "Hear Me Now" and I'm honestly impressed, such an authentic, refreshing vibe that really sticks with you. Your sound is powerful, distinctive, and absolutely deserves to be heard by a wider audience on air. I'd love to know more about the projects you're currently working on and the platforms you're posting on, so I can better support getting your music in front of listeners who will truly connect with it. If you're open to it, I'd be happy to have a brief conversation. Feel free to reach me at peterumehmedia@gmail.com . Cheers, Peter
Peter - thank you for the message. I'd be interested in seeing what you have to offer. I'll shoot out an email shortly. Thanks again!
Alright i guess you can drop your email address here

Congratulations!!
Thank you Mitch! Blessings to you too!

Key Mitch congrats on getting "I Need You" selected this morning for that Love Song brief! Really nice song, vocals and production. What a voice Man! I'm pretty new to Broadjam and am committed to making some placements in the Sync world this year. I have a lot going on, and also perform like you do, but as a solo, doing both covers and originals with backing tracks. My stuff is as berniesimsmusic.com. Oh, I'm in Salem OR. Have relatives all across WI. My mother's family was from Darlington. Perhaps we could do a co-write or two sometime? Like your production skills a lot too. Take care - let' keep in touch! Bernie Sims 503.880.0023
Hey Mitch. Checkin in again, Just heard "I Need You". OMG, Man, your voice is out of this world. I'm working on a few new things and will keep your voice in mind. Please give me call or text if you have a few minutes next week. I'd love to connect. I'll also send a Friend request here in Broadjam.
Thanks once again for checking out my song "Mirrors" and the 5 *'s! We'd love the chance to work with you if you ever have any use for any of our tracks! Happy New Year!
Thank you for the support Mitch, We will reach out if we have any opportunities for you and your team! LC Team
Love the sound Krishna! Great songs!
Thanks Mitch. Much appreciated...Just listening to your stuff now. Some great grooves man, beautiful songs. Really dig it...:)
Thank you for the connection and the kind words. To answer your question, yes that is my own vocal. I do all my own song writing, composing, producing, vocals (and effects of course as I'm not a fan of my own sound or have certain visions I try my best through the production to bring out into reality) etc. I have always lived and breathed music especially as an emotional release and mechanism, however I don't have the talents or capabilities like yourself to make a career out of it. It's become a relatively new hobby to express myself and make that public in case any one enjoys or connects with it then that's satisfying to me to be just myself that does. Sorry for the rant, thanks again for the connection and you're extremely talented and successful so it means a lot.
So Mitch, are you and Wanderlust one in the same? Even more impressive!
I am the musicial composer and producer for Wanderlust. In this project as well as Stanza & Crescendo, I have a songwriting (lyricist) partner - Jesse Daily. I have 4 other projects that I compose, perform, and produce for in several different genres. Thank you for the note and complement!!! I really appreciate it!!
All fantastic. You deserve to reap the rewards.
Dang Mitch, Like I said before, real deal. How outstanding! Chris
Hey Mitch - Thanks so much for the stars on "Into You", and I stopped by and listened to a couple of your songs - man you've got everything!! Better than what's on the radio these days. Blown away really, especially your mixes - so clear and vibrant, but everything is soooo good, vocals, guitar, arrangement, geeez! Everything !!! Congrats on all your great stuff! :)
Thank you Diane! Loved your song as well and I hope to check out some of your other work! I appreciate the feedback and am happy you liked what you heard. I am lucky to work with some very talented studio musicians and we're all very passionate about the work we do. Thank you!!!
It's great
a few pounds of cheese should be eaten while contemplating the future
I like the vibe you have Mitch...nice! Check out my tracks when youre able! ~GP
Hey Mitch, Congrats on Metamorphosis making #1 in New Age Progressive! Impressive bro. I see you're working a lot too, nice calendar. Hope all is well. Dave
Hi Mitch, Thanks for the fair and kind review of "Surf and Sand". Yes the song is a little incomplete and the abrupt ending sort of reveals that. Live drums! Not samples or loops. I went for a minimalist approach and once the groove and basic changes were together I couldn't figure out anything else that would fit, so there it is. So glad you dug it!! Thanks! Dave - CenterPeace
Thank you for the review of Brazilian Spy. I appreciate your comments!
Thanks for taking the time to review 'Tomy'...as well-for the comments. Best wishes to you.
Thanks for reviewing my song but I'm curious as to why you rated it a 1 of 5 stars for the overall rating but said you'd like to hear more from me?? I've never given a 1 to anyone myself and was just curious why you felt that it was so poor....
Hi Mitch, i never gave a 1 to someone for sure. Maybe it's not me or if it's me maybe a click in the wrong score is it possible to fix my rating for that song ?
And "Manic". Review is much appreciated.
Hi Mitch. Thanks for your review of "A Spiritual Journey" It was extremely thoughtful and thourough. I am seriously considering getting rid of the vibrato based on your suggestion.
