Big update to Udio! Check out the details here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZpnZLmbyt_MmqM.html

Thank you for the great overview. I think the most important feature to request, for actual control, is for the AI to be able to modify previous generations using a follow-up prompt like "This, but make the bass less pronounced and make it more upbeat". Coming from stable diffusion background, the thing that made image generative AI actually become a good tool for artists was the ability to work iteratively - get something close-ish to what you want, then refine it more and more and more with each new attempt. If we have to start from scratch every time, we're never getting exactly what we wanted.

Stoked that more music stuff is coming out so you can talk about it. I also loved the short discussion last week. If you did a podcast that got actual musicians on to talk about AI openly, that'd be super cool. I'm thinking there's a whole world of people in the music industry, from producers to session musicians to ad jingle writers to the yes, rock stars, who all feel lots of different ways about it and are probably both worried and excited. Would be pretty great content, even if it's just a one-off or occasional thing.

You are now officially my helper for first suggestions for my next moves in the world of artificial song production. Congratulations! ;)

Great video, bro. Can't wait to try out Udio. Love your taste in tunes, btw. Keep rockin'!

I love how you don't edit your videos with a bunch of annoying camera cuts like everyone else. You content is always very solid too. You are the best in the AI space period!

If we ever get a non-stunning week in AI, I'd be happy to just keep listening to you talk about AI Music. You both seem to know your stuff and not be too elitist about it, a rare combination.

You just made my day! And I can now log into Udio's platform.

Live performances and original human creationswill just be all that more precious and respected. A rebirth.

Your musical refs blows me away, I've been addicted to Animals as Leaders since I've discovered them 5 years ago

Through watching this I am reminded how important it is to hear about these tools from actual musicians and producers, and how much less annoying it is when someone with cultivated music appreciation/discernment and taste is analyzing their output.

I’m a session guitarist and I love this, anything that takes music away from big business is great, if you don’t want A I support live bands by going to more gigs.

Just been spending the evening with Udio... all i can say is OMG. The depth... the virtuosity is incredible. I accidentally started a generation about being frustrated with a broken machine (was some default offering). It has now turned into an epic metal anthem about breaking free from societal oppression... with scorching music... a raw female singer... Incredible lyrics. (Udio AI writes amazingly. No lazy rhyming but really thoughtful and evocative prose) I have become totally obsessed with this track. Just trying to finish it off now. On 23 generations... but lots of that was experimenting and getting to know the app. Thanks for sharing the link... was having trouble finding it through Google. This app makes Suno v3 look kinda silly. Its not only my own song... but some of the ones Ive heard from others are breathtaking... this is next level stuff. I am totally impressed.

Superb coverage, Tim. Thank you. Holy moly, this is what it must have felt like when they unveiled the wheel or the printing press.

My guy came through again with another Al music update banger. Thanks for all you do fam!

Tim at 1,200 songs per month FREE during the beta, what kind of volume do you see amassing? If Udio gains a thousand subscribers in the first month, that could be over 1 million songs (realizing that a lot of it might be just short riffs). But pre AI text-to-music, how many songs or tracks were published or copyrighted in say 2019, pre-pandemic (by everyday musicians, composers and songwriters)? The numbers become mind boggling when you think there will be multiple music generating platforms. You really have a great KZfaq channel! Keep up the great work!

i tested this, I'm just amazed, the flexibility, being part of Theoretically Media 3X your capability with AI. Such a great commentator and brings great Value with every video.

Thanks Tim! Great video and nice to see that your music taste is great (Dream Theater, Zappa etc. Wow! Just my taste as well). Really enjoy your humorous way of thinking and making videos. btw we hae some commonality in comics as well as I´ve done them too (found on my channel as a youtube video). Thank You!

Very cool, the sounds are great and I was literally talking to my wife about this topic last night. Currently the generation isn't working for me (something about being under maintenance) but listening to the music already there is nice.

I'm excited to try Udio and it does seem to have some innovations on Suno (I love the ability to add an extension before and after the current generation). Personally, I wouldn't listen to any of these tracks and there are Suno tracks I would listen to so I'm not sure it's overall really blowing me away but we need more time to see what it's capable of.

I knew this day would come but didn't think it'd be that fast! And it's v1.0 BETA! This instantly puts out most music production out of business.

You really know a hell lot about music. I am very impressed with Udio. It's def not there yet but it's approaching at what seems like light speed. Very curious where they will be say half a year from now.

Thank you soooooo much for introducing Udio!! it sounds like the next version of Suno perhaps,.? :) (which I just got a year subscription for,..) anyhow,.this is A.i.mazing !!

This feels like it could be a Suno killer. My first generation was amazing! Thanks for reviewing this. I hadn't heard about it until this video.

Woot I'm in! It took a day to get into the beta and 30minutes to generate a song but damn the quality is great!

The Frank Zappa part was great, I'm a big Steve Vai fan so that part made me smile. Good stuff.

You sir are always on the bleeding edge. Thank you! My Udio generations are taking a long time... what were your average generation times? (watched your whole video, still waiting for my 1st gens to complete, haha) Update: 1st 2 generations took 20 minutes. Next 2 took 33 seconds! 🤯

I thought Suno Ai was rad... I mean, V3 is still great but ound? Holy molly maceroni!!! That's another level! And the control is also more advanced than with Suno! ... Crazy. I'm really speechless... I think here too, as with every AI, you're bound to come across a repeating pattern at some point, but still! Just the fact that mam can combine completely absurd style directions with each other relatively easily and without cramping AND that it still sounds good or at least interesting... Let's see if I can still get my metal song realized the way I want it to be :)

Great content! I have to say that you are my go to AI video/image/(and now)audio- nice to have someone that is just good! I just can not fathom this?! I just made a song about some stories for my kids- still can't believe it! Question- did the video auto generated? If so, is it pretty slow? mine does not have videos yet.

So far Udio seems interesting. Still a long way to go though but for sure a step in the right direction. I like it so far. Competition breeds excellence. :D

Holy crap! I'm totally blown away by this! Thanks for sharing. I can't believe it's free. I'd happily pay a subscription or whatever. How's it going to work going forward with copyright in the future?

Can’t wait to have a play with it. Sun has been fun along with Kaiber for the music videos.

It made me smile when you smiled at your Push me to the limits part. Just a stupid "I'm enjoying this!" smile...lol.

This is epic, I'm sure my kids will have fun playing with this creating their own music to sing.

This is awesome! I’ve written lyrics for years and can feel the songs but but can’t sing or play well enough. Now I can create!!

The song: "Echoes of the unknown silence" on Udio changed my mind of AI and music. Man ... a bit in when she really starts to sing..wow.

Udio throw me an error whenever I try .. guess you sent a billion people up there :)

After spending a small amount of time messing around I got a good feel for what was possible and have made 4 full length songs already that sound really good. You can tell that it's AI if you properly listen and it lacks a little bit of consistency, e.g. the chorus might not always be exactly the same. Some features I'd love to see would be greater control over instrumentation etc, more consistency in key elements of the like the chorus, main melody, etc and I'd like the option to trim clips or allow a little more fuzziness between the different extensions. My only complaint is that vocals do still appear at times during sections that are supposed to be instrumental only. Usually it takes a couple of re-rolls to get what you're after.

@TheoreticallyMedia Good stuff as always, Tim. If you had asked me 3-4 months ago how long it would take to get to this level, I would have guessed at least 5 years. It's amazing to think that THIS is where we are today, and it will only improve. Of course, how we, as musicians, ultimately utilize the tools will be the real challenge.

Thank you for your excellent channel! Much appreciated! I was testing Suno vs Udio and was amazed by the same unexpected outcomes although they are unrelated models, as far as I understood. Both at Suno and Udio I tried different prompts aiming at "classical violin solo". Both Suno and Udo generated piano music pieces. IS it just me, our does this smell fishy regarding the audio training data and LLM used for the interpretation? Love to hear your thoughts on this! Keep up the fabulous work!

The problem is, if I don't want to listen to anyone else's AI generated music, nobody is going to want to listen to mine. I'm running into that post-pandemic a lot with KZfaq videos. Nobody cares any more about watching other people's content. We're all just creating a custom vanity mirror to look back at ourselves. That's how humanity dies...

Warning for Udio users: PLEASE fully read their terms of service, and while it is a bit swiss cheese that doesnt' mean it's not a worthy app for some: If you are interested in distributing music you've made: DONT, the Terms are a bit "wishy washy" in that they forget you can't upload directly to spotify and apple without a distributor, and it's a "NON COMMERCIAL PERSONAL AND ATTRIBUTIVE" sort of liscence, which means: if you're profiting off your music, try something else - I had to read it myself because i'm CURIOUS about AI music, because i use loops and samples myself that aren't AI generated and hoboy: I'm not going to attempt to use Udio and have to pay extra for attribution, and then get stuff taken down because they claim it before I can do anything.

I was against most ai but mainly the ones that stealing the likeness of other artists but for someone with thousands of random random songs and lyrics over the years and an ear for what I want to hear as production, this site has been the most exciting thing ive experienced in years. It helps all these lost lyrics find a home. I treat the creations like samples and flip them in creative ways and you can argue that it’s less destructive than sampling people’s music without permission.

I appreciate you putting time into reviewing this and bringing it to our attention. However, having played with it all evening, it is already driving me nuts...only 10 extensions to a song, so it won't compare to Suno, and while the solos are good and the ability to "go back" and create an intro is great, it can't even remember the vocalist from the start of the song, or the chorus! It also only works in roughly 32 second increments, whereas with Suno you often get nearly 2 minutes to start with (on a paid plan). And quality-wise, Suno v3 is pretty darn good...

I don't know if it's your fault for sending so many people over, but it just keeps saying there is an error and to try again later. "Generation is under maintenance" . I will give another try later. They probably need to update their system to handle the traffic. This is my favorite AI channel these days. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

Thanks for your video about it. I am curious to see its limits honestly so I can exploit it for the benefit of my own music in the future

I'm impressed by how AI evolution keeps getting better, improving tools. While udio has its flaws, being in beta, I believe it will evolve even further over time. I even tried creating my own music, and I can say it has been an interesting experience.

The "mic issue" is just AGI trying to steal the show Thank for sharing Udio!

Because of your video I started using this website and it is a massive game changer. Better than any image generator (as good as they are) Now I can spread any message I want in a few hours work, the biggest issue that remains is making good videos, do you have any recommendations for AI websites or programs that make video editing and creation easier for clips that are 2-4 minutes long?

Surprisingly good, "prompt" *70s aggressive electric guitar southern rock* AI did it again, making a believer out of me 🔥Udio Rocks

7:06 That's pretty awesome!!

Those bluegrass vox are impressive! And what do you think FZ would think of all this? Remember The Poodle Bites!

Love it! Also when I think of Will I Am i always think of Tim lol

I am a Suno fanboy and have been using it since V1 and it has accelerated my songwriting 10x. I thought V3 was a game changer and that Suno was so far ahead of the competition. People were hyping Sonauto as the Suno killer which I thought was mid at best. Udio in BETA has just laid down the gauntlet!!! It sounds amazing. The website is getting crushed right now and generations take forever. The 30 second generations don't measure up to the Suno V3 2-minute generations. But this is freaking BETA. AI music is here and is only going to get better.

After using the workflow for a few days... We were totally wrong about wanting one gen at a time.🎉

Thanks Tim. sMV will be putting this in play very soon.

One problem I've had with other AI music generators is when I try to sample a section of the output and then use Ableton Live's "convert harmony/melody to new MIDI track" feature. It seems like the bitrate is so low and there's so much artifacting that the MIDI extraction ends up being so extremely noisy and chaotic that it's unusable, and it's just quicker to listen and manually play the part. (To be fair, this does happen to a lesser degree even with very clean high quality source material.) But I'll be interested to experiment with that feature with Udio's output.

So I've been experimenting with Udio for the past day and......... I'm quiet impressed! 👍 👍 👍 The only glitch is when I got a warning about my custom lyrics being forbidden ( I had ChatGPT write me lyrics for a song about the troubling politics in the US in 2024).

What a joy to have AI replace a lot of the boring parts of making music. For me making music has always been about finding those nuggets by listening for something cool. Same process with AI music creation but way faster. I'm having a blast right now!

Just tried it. Mind. Blown.

Hi, just tried it - really great sound quality. Would you post a feature request for me (can’t find a way to do it myself)/? I really wish I could post a melody (as midi or just written) and have it arrange a song in a certain style with this melody. As amateur musician this would make it instantly more useful and a learning tool at the same time.

I've been using this app for a day, for instrumental rock/metal ideas it's pretty good. Most of the chorus progressions are kinda similar which I don't like, but its a similar formula. But it does have some cool melodies on guitar to get ideas from. 👍

Def noticed asking ai for description of describing an artist or style song helps as you can't say in style of artist as it's copyright so there's def learning curve and a go around and its great af generating out box audio generation like comedy or voice overs

I just tried it and omgggg it is crazyyyyyy!

Prompting Primus is a great bar to set to see if AI has surpassed human skill yet, and clearly, it has not. Les ftw. Great video again!

very good, I really want it to evolve into something that I as a musician can really use.

Whoa, love the music you use to test things out - Bad Primus 😂

Delving into storytelling and video exploration, VideoGPT subtly refines my content, adding depth and professionalism to my creative projects.

as a musician who plays many instruments, with jazz/classical/metal training, and produces in a daw, i'm excited by the prospect of collaborating with a.i. tools like UDIO. i already use AI tools like Splice Stacks and Captain Melody plugins, as well as Chat GPT for brainstorming. people who are afraid of being replaced are just being alarmist

First radio play of a Udio song was last night on Oystermouth Radio at just after 9:15pm. The show should be repeated tonight at the same time.

Yeah, their website must be getting hammered. I keep getting "Something went wrong! [ try again ]"

1:54 Definitely crank it up.......fan of Prog Rock here for decades 👍 👍 👍

A very interesting alternative to suno. Much better from the voices from what I was able to create, however they are pretty overrun at the moment. Maybe they should do something like suno where you can use it for free with wait times or get faster access with a paid option even during beta. Also it seems to be much harder to get a consistent style between tracks at the moment, perhaps you've got to use a lot more descriptive words than in suno

I hope it gets better, i love the voice quality on Udio. The songs themselves though are not quite as good as stuff Suno makes. If it improves though it might be better due to that voice quality

OMG, this stuff is so crazy. I mean i am making music by myself, it is mostly for fun. But this Ai. I mean a whole son in about 1 hour. I need at least 2-3 days, and thats only if i have an idea. WOW. The Future is AI, for sure.

Curious to hear your thoughts on udio vs suno, personally I've been enjoying making music on suno more but that might change as udio matures.

I just realized that AI will take over recorded music but perhaps there will be a market for bands to recreate the AI generated songs, live. For instance, it'd be super cool to hear a band produce that Zappa-like fisherman song on stage. Though folks may be more interested in watching holograms just mime the AI songs live.

Curiously, when I typed a prompt that included the instruction "in the style of Yes", I got something that could have been a lost Genesis track. A couple of iterations later, this time without the Yes prompt, I had a track that sounded 99% like Jon Anderson (of Yes) singing it. A bit hit and miss but some pretty amazing pastiches.

Thank you, my new favourite tool. Does free mean I can download it and use it in my commercial game as background audio?

So what I get from UDIO is that it's to Jukebox, what ElevenLabs is to Uberduck; Like it'll still make music with better audible fidelity and consistency than Jukebox, but it can't generate output from pre-existing materials/attempt to copy one artist's specific styles (like that one Bruno Mars sample from the Jukebox library)

Sorry to bug you again, but you by far explain things better than others so you are stuck with me :) Two questions (1) I don' t get the work flow....When ready to create the song, I click the CREATE BUTTON --- when udio is done creating the song, next I clicked the EXTEND BUTTON. I'm satisfied with the song, so I'm done and ready to do a new song. BUT HOW DO I GET BACK TO THE CREATE BUTTON? I seem to be stuck on the EXTEND BUTTON and could not figure out how to get the CREATE BUTTON back. Instead, I exit Udio and open it again to get the CREATE BUTTON. (2) second question. Is there a way to pick the singer you like. I love the female singer I got on my first song and want to use her in other songs but keep getting singers I don't like. Thanks for your help. I love your videos but as a retired vet on a fixed income I'm always counting pennies.

OK, now that’s more like it! It just might be better than Suno! Guitars sound better than Suno and I’ll be putting it through the ringer over the next few days. Thanks for the quick update from yesterday. Once a paid plan is ready, pricing won’t matter as far as I’m concerned bcuz this is amazing stuff, exciting times!

It occurs to me that creative enterprises are becoming less like noodling around for inspiration, and more like shopping where you are looking at a bunch of stuff and selecting what resonates with you.

Okay, this is amazing... Quality is even better than Suno for sure.

What prompts would you use to create the good version of my semi-cancelled demoes i have in my channel?

The AI's Jacques Cousteau reference at 9:53 is probably from Wu Tang Clan - Da Mystery of Chessboxin. There is a lyric with a similar reference by Ol Dirty Bastard in that record.

Perhaps theyll sample your voice and create bands that you can own the rights to basically based upon your description of structure and aounds, hord progressions, instruments, etc then your band has a sound and style created with an albums worth of songs ready to practice and go on tour with. Maybe even sample your guitar and if youre sloppy or slow they could fix it up or make something similar as mentioned before... etc

Where does the video in the bottom right hand corner playing along with the songs come from?

Your video popped up on my feed, so I decided to watch it (the KZfaq algorithm must've tied this in from my interest in AI generated images I s'pose), so I had to give this Udio a try... Holy Mackerel!!! As a gigging musician and "hired hun" of almost 40 years, I found Udio kind of scary to say the least! My first attempt was to make a Motown song in the style of the Supremes... that kind of sucked... (and in the AI's defense, I only spent a few minutes messing about with the prompt) maybe one of the songs was decent... then I took a stab at trying for a late 70s early 80s Prog Rock type of song... and bloody hell!!! That's the track that scared the shit out of me! The track that Udio generated from my (probably over-engineered) prompt could easily pass for an early Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and/or King Crimson's love child! Only after a couple attempts with the Prog Rock prompt, it gave me damn near what I asked for (maybe even better) --- haunting, catchy, melodic, harmonized vocal line -- complex rhythms and somewhat odd time signatures -- powerful bass line... aye aye aye! This tool is pretty effing scary if you ask me... but I'm absolutely intrigued by the technology... I mean... holy hell!!! And the thought that this (as well as the audio track isolation AI's) technology is SO in its infancy... my mind can only imagine what it'll be like this time next year! Thanks for (albeit accidentally) turning me on to this tool... I'm probably gonna lose lots of sleep messing around with it, trying to come up with the most useful prompts!

absolutely insane - brilliant

Been messing with it and thanks for the news. Nice that Udio gives 320 mp3 whereas Suno gives 192. Still wish I could get a WAV or FLAC.

It's working awesome for me so far.

I have to admit that this looks amazing. I actually liked the first Bob the Fisherman song.

Amazing. Cant wait to try this.

This looks very similar to Suno AI. I’ve spent two nights creating new songs from lyrics I’ve had waiting for years to put to music.

After playing with it a little bit, seems like Udio has better overall sound quality, but Suno has much better composition. They'll each get better at both in time with user reinforced training though.

From what I've heard "in there" (I can't test it at the moment, the website is under maintenance), IN MY OPINION, sonically, in terms of clarity and complexity, it is clearly SUPERIOR to Suno.

It's diabolical how advanced AI in 2024 has become.

Hey, I'm not Tim but I'm still here, liking it all!!!
