Monetize your professional musical ear, studio engineering background, or field recording expertise by training cutting-edge artificial intelligence audio models. Flexible contracting with premium compensation.
Generative artificial intelligence has revolutionized text and visual media, but mastering audio and musical acoustic understanding remains the ultimate frontier. Before artificial intelligence can accurately parse complex field recordings, dissect multi-instrumental mixes, and evaluate authentic sonic landscapes, it requires the ultimate ground truth: human professional ears.
micro1—the premier AI data lab building the human intelligence layer for frontier models—is actively engaging professional musicians, audio engineers, and sound designers for the Music & Sound Annotation Expert role. This remote contractor opportunity invites you to leverage your acute auditory expertise to train next-generation audio AI systems.
La inteligencia artificial generativa ha revolucionado los medios de texto y visuales, pero dominar la comprensión acústica musical y de audio sigue siendo la frontera definitiva. Antes de que la inteligencia artificial pueda analizar con precisión grabaciones de campo complejas, diseccionar mezclas multiinstrumentales y evaluar paisajes sonoros auténticos, requiere la verdad absoluta: oídos profesionales humanos.
micro1, el laboratorio de datos de IA líder que construye la capa de inteligencia humana para modelos frontera, está contratando activamente a músicos profesionales, ingenieros de audio y diseñadores de sonido para el rol de Experto en Anotación de Música y Sonido. Esta oportunidad de contratista remoto lo invita a aprovechar su aguda experiencia auditiva para entrenar sistemas de IA de audio de próxima generación.
The Core Mission: Your Ears Are the Ground Truth
As a Music and Sound Annotation Expert on this project, your primary mandate is to listen critically to short field recordings (typically 30 to 90 seconds) and document precisely what is audible using a structured web platform built specifically for this initiative.
In later phases of the project, your responsibilities will expand to grading artificial intelligence model outputs against what you actually heard. By identifying discrepancies, hallucinated details, or accurate descriptions, you directly shape how AI models perceive and interpret the auditory world.
Como Experto en Anotación de Música y Sonido en este proyecto, su mandato principal es escuchar críticamente grabaciones de campo cortas (típicamente de 30 a 90 segundos) y documentar con precisión lo que es audible utilizando una plataforma web estructurada construida específicamente para esta iniciativa.
En las fases posteriores del proyecto, sus responsabilidades se ampliarán para calificar los resultados de los modelos de inteligencia artificial frente a lo que realmente escuchó. Al identificar discrepancias, detalles inventados o descripciones precisas, usted moldea directamente cómo los modelos de IA perciben e interpretan el mundo auditivo.
Detailed Scope of Work & Responsibilities
- Acoustic Annotation: Listen to 30–90 second field recordings using quality headphones in a quiet workspace, completing structured annotations covering instrument presence, tempo, key, and scene details.
- Event Timestamping: Pinpoint exact timestamps of background events such as traffic, sirens, applause, and environmental acoustics.
- Comparative Analysis: Compare paired recordings of the same musical piece captured across different physical locations, judging invariant properties and localized changes.
- AI Model Grading: In later phases, review AI-generated descriptions of audio clips, marking elements as correct, incorrect, or fabricated, accompanied by concise evidence-based written notes.
- Collaboration: Attend paid onboarding and calibration sessions alongside short weekly project syncs to ensure alignment with evaluation standards.
- Anotación Acústica: Escuchar grabaciones de campo de 30 a 90 segundos usando auriculares de calidad en un espacio de trabajo silencioso, completando anotaciones estructuradas sobre presencia de instrumentos, tempo, tonalidad y detalles de la escena.
- Marcado de Tiempo de Eventos: Identificar marcas de tiempo exactas de eventos de fondo como tráfico, sirenas, aplausos y acústica ambiental.
- Análisis Comparativo: Comparar grabaciones emparejadas de la misma pieza musical capturadas en diferentes ubicaciones físicas, juzgando propiedades invariantes y cambios localizados.
- Calificación de Modelos de IA: En fases posteriores, revisar descripciones generadas por IA de clips de audio, marcando elementos como correctos, incorrectos o inventados, acompañados de notas escritas concisas basadas en evidencias.
- Colaboración: Asistir a sesiones pagadas de incorporación y calibración junto con breves sincronizaciones semanales del proyecto para garantizar la alineación con los estándares de evaluación.
Required Skills & Preferred Backgrounds
- Experience: 3+ years of hands-on professional music, audio engineering, or sound design experience.
- Ideal Backgrounds: Working or gigging musicians, session players, producers, mixing engineers, music educators, ear-training instructors, conservatory graduates, location sound recordists, foley artists, or podcast/documentary audio editors.
- Analytical Listening: Ability to isolate individual instruments out of a busy, noisy real-world mix rather than clean studio recordings.
- Musical Acumen: Capability to identify tempo within a few BPM and determine musical key using relative pitch.
- Technical Readiness: Possession of quality headphones, a quiet workspace, reliable high-speed internet, and clear written English communication skills.
- Experiencia: Más de 3 años de experiencia práctica profesional en música, ingeniería de audio o diseño de sonido.
- Perfiles Ideales: Músicos activos o de sesión, productores, ingenieros de mezcla, educadores musicales, instructores de entrenamiento auditivo, graduados de conservatorio, sonidistas de locación, artistas foley o editores de audio para podcasts y documentales.
- Escucha Analítica: Capacidad para aislar instrumentos individuales dentro de una mezcla real compleja y ruidosa, más allá de grabaciones de estudio limpias.
- Agudeza Musical: Capacidad para identificar el tempo dentro de unos pocos BPM y determinar la tonalidad musical usando tono relativo.
- Preparación Técnica: Disponer de auriculares de calidad, un espacio de trabajo silencioso, internet de alta velocidad confiable y habilidades claras de comunicación escrita en inglés.
