It's basically AI-powered Splice with being less PITA due to music licensing. It makes sense for me.

But I think while generated samples will be somewhat unique, overall sound would be mostly generic.



Yeah that's clearly what they're going for, and for now they're cheaper than Splice. But Splice selection is absolutely huge, while Soundry is very limited, and the promise of "infinite" is somewhat misleading.

A tool that generates random MIDI melodies is also "infinite", but it's infinitely crappy.

There's an inherent problem with "unique" samples, that they can't be reviewed and ranked by users, since each user only sees their own.

There's a chance a tool like this make users waste time instead of saving time, because you would need to listen to so many "generations" before finding something you like.
