I already play with little to no volume a lot of the time when I game and only started paying attention to the songs around the first Dalia Scene and first Alex Scenes. If I removed any AI music from the game, I'd likely wouldn't be able to tell. And the fact that it's 'a bit' bland is a pretty good reason not to want it seeing it as you think my claim is bogus. I prefer nothing to bland, souless and lacking any creativity or effort. The fact that its barely indistinguishable makes it even worse. I'm not saying Caribdis will do this but it'd be pretty easy for him to just half-ass stuff and rely more and more on AI. But I'm digressing, clearly we're going to disagree. At least I've got some idea on what to expect for Update 0.9.
Playing with no volume when audio is a big part of the experience is pretty strange, to say the least, but if that's the reason you wouldn't notice the sections with AI music being silent, then that's because of your volume preferences, not because the music itself is bad. Also, you're twisting my words (perhaps not intentionally, but still). I said "decent, if a bit bland", which in your post turned into "bland, soulless and lacking any creativity or effort". The songs are a bit bland, yes, but that's only compared to the originals and only in the context of Eternum's soundtrack, which is to say - they're still good by AVN standards. That's because they were made with the vibes of the original songs in mind and approved by Cari (who, as is obvious, is great at picking songs that fit scenes really well). Also, how does the fact that generic background music is almost indistinguishable make it worse? That just means the jump from regular music to AI music is less jarring. As for the other stuff, like Cari being able to half-ass stuff with AI, well... no? Not really, anyway. AI is eons away from being able to generate the quality of renders, dialogue, plot, characters or animations that are in Eternum. Any game that has gone down such a road has been met with overwhelming hate and rightfully so. Getting back on track though, while AI songs are inferior to regular ones, it seems to me you're hating on them solely because they're AI, not because they genuinely suck.
