Chapter 3: How can you use Google Translate for real-time conversations?
So I understand you're a music man.
Chapter 4: What is the process for using the Google Translate app effectively?
Yes, I write songs. That's my real passion. I play some instruments, and yeah, all about music. So how are you putting it together now with AI? Okay, so just several months ago, I learned about a site called... Is it okay if I mention it? For sure, yeah, of course. Suno is the one that I use. And...
I've found is, as a songwriter, I've written over 100 songs, which isn't that many if you're a writer, honestly. But it's wonderful to take a song, my words, my chord progression, my melody, Suno will be faithful to all those things if I upload a simple demo and then produce the song, you know, add instruments and drums and bass and percussion and give it a certain feel or style.
And I'm just having a blast with it. I think you sent us a song.
Let's listen.
Chapter 5: What are the benefits of using Google Translate with earbuds?
Well, a road ain't a road if you ain't got nowhere to get. A pancake ain't a pancake without Aunt Jemima on it. And a marshmallow ain't a marshmallow if it don't have no fluff. And nothing ain't Nothing ain't nothing without love. Not many songs you hear on the country charts that have the word marshmallow fluff in it.
Chapter 6: How does the AI translate languages in real-time?
Yes, and I can't do that. I don't have the money to go to Nashville and walk into a studio and hire the musicians to do that kind of thing. And it's just a blast to be able to plug that in. And that's very faithful to the way I wrote the song and the way I imagined it.
Did it take you a long time to do that song?
What takes the longest is they do what they call a cover. So you upload a simple version of your song, maybe just guitar and vocal. And then they produce what they call a cover, like if somebody was covering the song on another album or something.
So I sometimes go through a dozen or more covers to find the one that is the way I wanted and the way I felt like I wrote it, what I had in mind when I wrote it. Are you doing anything with the music once you've made it?
uh no i'm not really that's a great song you know what i love for that song but if you have a hundred songs and you clip it down i mean you could have a tick tock page with a thousand videos easily you can get them on spotify that too i mean yeah i need maybe i need to open up my uh
field of vision here a little on that yeah you do okay now here's the deal with with sono the free tier is that sono may own some of the rights now paid tier you typically own what you create now in order to get your songs on spotify you just can't call them up and go hey i'm bert and um Like he's never heard that before. I can't even use that on my wife.
And so what you have to do is go to like Distro Kid. Distro? Yeah, Distro Kid. And there's also CD Baby. They've been around forever. Yeah, I've heard of them. And so what they do is that they will get your songs onto the different various music platforms. And then you'll make a little bit of a commission.
But to get attention to those, you take those songs and you clip them up and put them on a TikTok page. I mean, I'm going to admit the song sounds a little older country, more country western than any other country. Yeah, that's right. And so an older audience would eat that stuff up.
Well, and I have plenty of songs I think would appeal to other audiences. I don't write a particular genre. But, yeah, these are great suggestions. I appreciate that. I do get a little bit of feedback, negative feedback, from folks that feel like I'm putting people out of business. And I kind of understand that to a degree.

Chapter 7: How does the guest incorporate AI into music creation?
Oh, yeah, it's a blast. I mean, you're having a great time doing it. Those people are just all fuddy-duddy. Well, you know what?
I understand.
I understand what they're saying. And Bert, like you said, we understand what they mean because the whole music industry has been based upon, what, years and years of practice, years and years of rejection, It's like being the football star. You have all these different people that are doing it, but maybe there's a breakout every once in a while.
But what I hear he's doing, he's just creating a blueprint. A blueprint to say this is what it could look like, and maybe you put him on social media, an older country artist, a bluegrass band hears that, and they go out and make a deal with him and take his song. That would be amazing. That would be a fairy tale.
