I'm not particularly familiar with music creation, but it always seemed to me neural nets would be better at handling music production more than composition. That is, changing the sound to be, say, a trent reznor style output given the original.

Does that make any sense?

As someone with a fair amount of experience in both domains, I'd agree with this.

I see a lot more utility in sculpting sound and helping streamline the production side of things than the uses of NNs on the composition side.

There already are tools for automatically composing melodies and harmonies, and some of them are actually quite good, but they're hardly used.
