AI Music Just Had Its ChatGPT Moment (Udio & More)

all right so AI music is going through its own Renaissance right now some people are saying it's having its chat GPT moment and while that's more of a subjective statement objectively we got many new tools versions of tools and some techniques that make things possible that you couldn't have done as a consumer a few months back mainly udio that just released and all of the internet is going crazy about this because some of these voices are so darn impressive in many cases they're better than sunno but there's other limitations we're going to talk about all this soon as there is a lot to explore and learn here and that's why today I'll be showing you the most interesting and most revolutionary AI audio tools that I discovered across the last few months this is a topic I haven't been covering too much but I've been following this with great Passion because to be honest some of these apps are the most fun I've had with AI ever since the release of GPT 4 and it got me equally as excited as seeing what Sora can do or is going to be able to do but the good thing is these tools are here now so without further Ado let's have a look at the AI music landscape what apps do you need to know about and as per usual leave you with a few tips and tricks and

recommendations all right so first things first what prompted me to create this video today a lot of things have come out over the past few weeks but I'm creating it now it's this thing ud. com as we'll talk about in this video they're are direct competitor toso and they just create songs from next to nothing for people that have no musical knowledge whatsoever and apparently this is a more capable version of sunno which is a wild statement because sunno recently came out with their V free if you're not familiar this is your type in one word and it's going to give you a full-fledged track ready to go with vocals with audio of everything very nice we'll look at some of the best examples our community created here in a second but basically everybody was blown away by soono a few weeks back and now udio comes out and raises the bar they do stereo audio and multiple vocals in one and the quality is just higher than anything we've seen before just have a quick listen if you want to hear the full thing link is below noticed how you had multiple voices there at the same time incredibly effective and if I heard this on the radio I don't think I would immediately realize this AI right matter of fact if you want to create a song all it takes is this little box up here you can simply say a song about a cat with a hat excellent right and then you can pick a genre here now there's a bit more customization if you want but we're going to go with country here and I'm going to make the lyrics autogenerated you could craft these with cat GPT and simply go into custom and insert your lyrics here but for now we're going to stick with autogenerated and in the manual mode to essentially turn off the prompt generator that runs in the background so if you have a more detailed prompt or if you crafted your prompt very carefully and you wanted to respect it precisely as you put it in turn on manual mode usually you can keep this off as the prompt generator works pretty well here and then you just say create and here's the thing and we're going to keep this in the video because right now it is very overloaded it works here and there sometimes it takes 20 minutes sometimes it takes an hour sometimes it doesn't work at all so many people are using these tool right now and they seem to have not prepared for all the traffic that is coming in that a lot of times you're just going to get error so it might take a little bit of patience but as you can see when you're creating these you're going to see that you have 600 and another 600 tracks so 1,200 in total 600 of those are going to be priority meaning they're going to generate faster so let's have a quick listen to this cat with a hat song that we just created on a sassy cat with a Dapper hat she's queen of her domain okay that's pretty good so then you could go ahead and remix this and I really like this you could customize the lyrics you could change the St style you could adjust the variance here to make it super similar to the original track or super different this is something that tuno has been lacking so I really like this once you have a track you're happy with you can just simply Click Share and download audio here or share it with people like so this is on a free account all I did is log in with my Google account and I'm right here depending on the point of time when you watch this video this might have changed but as of now this is just the beta when you go to the pricing page it doesn't even show you price it just says hey we just got started so I think I Illustrated the point of how to create songs pretty well it's really not that complicated this is made to be very simple but for now I just want to show you some samples of what udio sounds like and then I want to talk about what I subjectively feel like is better here than in any other app before this let's have a listen so first things first let's point out this is an instrumental and the thing that is exceptional here is the clarity on the instrument and a lot of people across the internet already stated that these are the best AI generated guitars that have ever been here in this case the Benjo is absolutely incredible now let's look at another one to highlight some of its voice generation capabilities which are also very Advanced that is really great so I'm not sure how to put this objectively how to measure this but simply put the voice generation here is a lot better than Ino and sunno if you pay attention it simply sounds like it is AI generated in this case for me this might have just crossed ancan Valley The Voice generation here is just Next Level to what we had so far have a listen for yourself okay I'm a procrastinator don't want to do it now I'll do it later but look a lot of this is subjective and I'll honestly tell you I'll still keep using both I think sunno might be better for certain genres this is more clarity and the voices are generally speaking better I don't think this is the night and day type of situation that most people make it out to be but look there's one major limitation in here if you create these tracks they're going to be 30 seconds long but here's an important button that you could easily miss when you just open this up it's this extend button and what it does is it adds another 30 seconds to your track so let's just extend this one right here we say add a section autogenerated lyrics again and extend again this might take some time but once you have it you extended your track to a minute and you can do this up to 4 minutes in total sitting on the lazy day watching Lees dance got twinkle in her eye under the so still but here's the thing yudo is just

one tool and a lot of these you want to use in conjunction and you want to know about the strengths and weaknesses of different ones so that's why in this video we're going to be exploring m multiple tools and then you can use whatever you need while creating music with AI or you could even use some of them together well there's really three I want to talk about stable audio V2 audios shake. a and sun. com okay so these are different tools for different purposes what do you need to know sunno creates full-fledged songs including visuals just like udio they're essentially competitors trying to do the same thing this is really made for people who have no idea what they're doing with music and they want to create tracks that makes it an incredible toy to play matter of fact it's so good that we challenged our community members to create different tracks of it and I'll show you some results here in the end so you can see what worked best for them but these other ones are quite different

for example stable audio is the most secure one all of these give you the rights to the track sort of state that there is no copyright on top of them because they're original works of art now there's a whole discussion around that let's not get into it but basically stable audio takes it a step further because they train their entire AI upon licensed tracks that they already own meaning if you want something that is Future proove 100% of the time stable audio is going to be your friend but this thing doesn't generate vocals it just creates all these different styles and more and this is best used for background music so as you can see sounds like this can easily be generated in here plus there's another function where you can actually upload your voice and then it comes back with a track this is really fun to play with as you can upload one track and then transform it into another and that is something you're not able to do in some of these others because if I move on over to the next one I talked about

audio Shake this one was actually brought to my attention by a Grammy award-winning music producer that I met while attending the Imagine AI live conference in Vegas two weeks ago his name is Young Spielberg and he was holding an entire presentation around AI audio tools now this is the one that stood out to me I haven't used or seen before audio Shake apparently this is by far the best stem separator in the whole game so this is the other side of the spectrum on the one side you have sunno which is for people who know nothing about music and then you have audio Shake which takes a track splits it into the stems by the way the stems are the different tracks so drums Guitar vocals Etc and they can create new music from that if you know what you're doing all with the power of AI now the thing about audio Shake is that it's prohibitively expensive look at that in the lowest plan one stem is $5 so if you want to take four or five stems from one track then you're going to be paying $20 per track right there and that's the mp3e if you want the high quality version it's twice that and here's an example of what that sounds like so here's the full track here's just the vocals you get the point and according to him this the best one out there in terms of splitting stems but now we get to the last one which is sunno and this is the

one that I want to spend a little more time on because this has been so much fun plus I got to say many people that are not that deep into AI actually brought up soono in a conversation with me recently cuz somebody recommended it to them they tried it and they had an incredibly fun experience playing around with it and this has been a reoccurring theme I can confirm my sessions in here when I create music with sunno are equally maybe even more as fun as listening to some of my favorite music cuz you're just more involved and you get to direct how these songs are created kind of I mean it's very limited in the creation but after having played with this app a lot there's a few things that work and don't work so now I gave you an overview of what different apps exist and what you would want to use them for I'm going to show you what actually works so first things first there's two versions there's V2 and V3 with V2 you get some free cred credits when you sign up and you can just start playing around immediately as of now but V free is where they erased the bar and the quality is just at a level where you're like wao don't get me wrong V2 is really good and fun to play with but V3 is the mind-blowing one as you can see here all it takes is a short description and you pick which model you want to use that's how simple this is okay sure you can turn on custom mode and plug in your own lyrics this is what I did a lot you can write the lyrics with chat GPT and then insert them here you can pick a style of music a simple Google search should give you some ideas here but here's the thing not all of these are created equal and this is kind of the main learning that I want to transport through this video because the quality of these sunok songs are really going to depend upon what this model was trained on and we don't exactly know what it was trained on all we can do is experiment with it and get a feeling for what works better and what

doesn't work so well so now I'm going to show you all the tracks me and the community created that worked really well so you know which genres to pick for your own Creations which are probably going to also work really well and here's the thing from my testing so far everything that works inside of sunno also works in yudo so the same principles that we talk about in this video apply to both so pay close attention and I'll just start with my o creation here because this is what I found when you go into more classic genres where a lot of the music is going to be in the public domain like a classic Orchestra and then you can even add a female solo singer these more classical genres always work better just cuz there's so much copyright free music in the public domain meaning it's so old that it's not copyrighted anymore that they could train upon this and the results are really good so here I created something that I call the AI Advantage Anthem let's have a listen check GP and embrace ches and incredible right and the reason for that is because this slightly grainy feel to the voice makes it easier for the model to generate that plus the classical music in the background it just has many examples of that's why it's going to do really well on this one minor tip is that if you wanted to say something like chat GPT then separate the letters and it's going to read it correctly same thing with AI over here this is something I discovered when crafting the lyrics for this okay so here's another one and this one was created by Community member CJ and he created trueu heart's tribal Rhythm here chillhop it's this ambient lowii type hip-hop and it works really well cuz the internet is scattered with those so again if you just think about what kind of music they had a lot of access to it's also going to work really well in here let's have a quick listen that's really good now you might question the quality of the lyrics versus a real life singer but that is just a thing where we're relying upon an AI voice synthesizer I think that's a good way to think about this think about the music that's what we talked about the past few minutes but then also think about the vocals and think about the fact that that's going to be AI generated so I think here the voice is really good but the beat is almost Flawless and that's just not going to be the case with every single genre some just really don't work that well I know a lot of is objective but to me personally the pop songs or the techno songs they I don't know don't really work it's just with such high quality pop music that this just doesn't stand the test of direct comparison nevertheless if you go in and you actually use some smart lyrical writing like Romany did here she actually won the challenge when we issued this a combination of multiple musical styles like you can see right here plus some smart lyrical writing makes it so that even with using version two this is the free version she created something that really captured the imagination of many community members and she was voted to be the winner win of this challenge let's have a quick listen so good honestly again the big limitation here is the AI voice generator but that's fine it gets better with V3 okay and one more example and this one is just meant to be funny okay Matias that runs a lot of events and challenges inside of the community created this thing that he calls Igor is the AI Overlord and listen up this is pure satire okay it's just meant to be ridiculous as this is a Russian paa battle rap with these incredible custom lyrics okay he didn't even use AI to craft these look at that it just repeats the same thing over and over again and this is a really fun one that you could recreate for any one of your friends just use Russian paa battle rap and pick a ridiculous phrase and repeat it over and over again and you'll get something like Matias did here the is thei now look just recording this video I'm having a lot of fun talking about this stuff so go out there try some of these right this one has 20 credits for free sonov V2 is freely accessible you just got to log in with your Google account and yio just released as we talked about in this video if you're a music producer

this one's going to be ace up your sleeve and if you want to check out more examples of what the AI Advantage Community created with this app in our weekly challenge we created a playlist where you can check out all of them so instead of playing yourself you can just have 20 people do the testing for you and you just pick the ones that work for you and if you want to learn more about this collaborative way of learning AI with a community like the one that I've been building here over the course of the last year then you might want to check out the link in the description where I outline all the things we're doing with the community including access to the course over 30 hours of recorded lectures and so much more here's the thing though I'm keeping it very limited because I want to maintain the culture that we're built in there we've been leading up to this for so long that I don't want to overwhelm it with too many people so if you check out the page it might be that the community is full right now in that case we will link the wait list so you can get notified as soon as we open up the next few spots all right if you're still here here's a video where you can learn more about AI audio and the latest news releases that you can actually use in AI space I'll see you soon
