From what I've gathered, it was just AI to clean up a track that was previously too poorly recorded to release.

It's not synthesised, it's just repaired.

Interesting, I wonder why this couldn’t be accomplished with conventional techniques. I own a handful of “AI” Plugins meant to achieve similar cleanup and I feel like it always needs to be tweaked to sound right. And that’s for a guy like me without practiced mixing ears. I wonder why real studio engineers needed AI.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

It was likely a combination of AI and manual tuning, like with modern photoshop plugins.

AI in this usecase is another tool for the engineer.

Damn, was looking forward to a.i. Yoko Oni ruining the track.

Yeah. From what I understand, Giles Martin used the same technique (or, at least, a similar one) when making the 2022 remix of Revolver. The AI was able to make clean stems from the original tracks where the instruments were mixed. So, I would suspect that this technique was able to separate the vocal from tape hiss, room noise and other factors--it isn't a deepfake of John Lennon.
