Not sure what forum this fits into as I see it being useful on both mac and Windows.

To all of my track rats, DJs, musicians, songwriters, tinkerers…

Check this out! The Dr. Mix YouTube channel just showed a demo of the ACEStudio platform that now allows you to talk to your DAW.

In the video, Dr. Mix uses it to quantize, come up with parts, change vocals, add and audition loops, adjust plugin settings, add VST instruments, mute and shift audio around. It's really quite impressive.

Here is the YouTube video. The demo shows Dr. Mix trying to break the platform by throwing all kinds of tasks at it.

Here is a link to the platform itself.

At the end of the video, he gives the VI community a shout out by touting how useful this could be for our community.

Imagine, no more endless VO-right, interacting, interacting again, interacting a third time, adjusting a parameter and then reversing the process… then realizing you need to make another adjustment somewhere else. No more memorizing complex layouts of a hardware interface. Imagine editing your podcast by simply saying, "Take out the cough."

This is awesome. I’ve never played around with technology like this, but the whole idea of being able to talk to. It would be so great. I am like really wishing for an all voice interactive phone, and the same thing for a computer I could still have a screen reader, but I could do all the commands with my voice. Awesome. We don’t really have that yet, but I’m really hoping someday. But yeah, that’s pretty awesome. Yeah you could do editing with your voice. Very cool Grapevine.
