The work

You will support AI training by analyzing short field recordings and musical clips. The work combines music theory, careful listening, structured annotation, and review of AI-generated descriptions.

You will use quality headphones in a quiet workspace to examine recordings that are usually 30 to 90 seconds long. You will also take part in onboarding, calibration, and project sync activities to keep your work consistent.

  • Identify instruments, musical key, tempo, and background sounds such as traffic, applause, and sirens.
  • Add precise timestamps, structured notes, and observations about what is happening in each recording.
  • Compare recordings of the same song from different locations and note musical or contextual changes.
  • Rate AI-generated descriptions of musical clips and give concise, evidence-based feedback.
  • Keep annotation quality consistent across repetitive, detail-focused tasks.

Requirements

This is a part-time contractor role for music teachers, musicians, producers, session players, and other audio professionals. Prior AI training experience is not required.

  • Time: 20+ hours per week.
  • Language: Professional fluency in English, written and spoken.
  • Experience: At least three years of hands-on music or audio experience.
  • Listening skills: Identify instruments and events in complex recordings, and determine musical key and tempo within a few BPM using relative pitch and reference tools when needed.
  • Equipment: Quality headphones, a quiet workspace, and stable internet access.
