Since AI Music platforms like Udio and Suno have been getting a lot of attention lately, I wanted to get some Hexbears' opinions on the matter. Have any of you been testing the capabilities of these? Care to share what you've made?
Udio seems to be trained on a wider range of niche genres, which I think leads to more diverse sounds that are better at obscuring their AI origins. Suno has a much more limited mainstream range, but you can make an entire concept album by extending clips multiple times before you 'get the whole song'. You can also finely tune each clip by choosing to extend it very early into the clip to pick out the best parts (though at that point, why not just make the music yourself?)
So far I've been using Udio to get more diverse samples, combined with an AI music splitter to isolate the good parts. I then plug them into Suno-generated long tracks to augment limitations from the prompting process. The music still isn't great (and my editing skills are dirt poor) but I think interesting things can get created this way. Soundcloud link to some example tracks
Adam Neely just released a decent video about AI music and what it lacks, and so even though the critique of capitalist art production that he suggests is pretty milquetoast, I'd recommend it as a mild antidote to all the AI music hype.
as usual, capitalism is the real problem and people who try to uphold liberal ideas about copyright are brainwashed losers.
people are gonna talk about metaphysical stuff and i think that's all hogwash, we don't need a consciousness behind music to get something out of it as listeners.
jobs were already fucked, popular music has been algorithmic hell for years, composing for synths is done somewhat commonly instead of hiring recording orchestras... people will still learn instruments and shit because it's fun, and people will still go to live performances because those are fun and not the same as listening to a recording.

lol actually fuck 'em both, i'm not connecting an account to your bullshit, let me use disposable email or no email.
Im just tired of everything being a race to the bottom so some guy can make money at the expense of the rest of us
Couldn't have said it better myself!
