This was an experment with a software called Adio. It took less than two minuits to create music, vocal, and lyrics. Pretty amazing stuff.

This looks like a double edge sword, AI

"While the revenues of Gen AI providers will see dramatic growth over the next five years, creators risk losing a large share of their current income due to AI’s substitutional impact on human-made works. Despite providing the creative fuel of the “Gen AI” content market, music and audiovisual creators will see respectively 24% and 21% of their revenues at risk of loss by 2028. This amounts to a cumulative loss of €22 billion over the 5-year period (€10 billion in music; €12 billion in audiovisual)."

"The study finds that the market for music and AV content generated by AI will increase exponentially in the next five years, growing from around €3 billion now to €64 billion in 2028."

I think that is Udio and I agree that it is amazing. Look at Suno also as these programs are also a great source of inspiration. If you also factor in Synthesizer V, you have a real powerhouse for creative songmaking along with BIAB.

I am sure that people who make a living from the music they create have a reason for concern due to the displacement of income based on AI-generated music. To what extent this is a problem, I surely don't know.

My reason for experimenting with AI-generated music is the same reason I use BIAB. If I had unlimited income, I would have a ton of live musicians to play with, but I would also experiment with new technologies.

I am hoping that Ai can get to the point of providing single tracks based on the musical tracks I create. Not so different than what BIAB does.

I think what many of us want is an electronic accompaniment that functions in a similar fashion to what would happen live with studio musicians.

I think we may not be so far away from that idea.

If I can create a plausible piece of music in 90 seconds with zero experience with this software, all this AI business is moving forward at a logarithmic rate.

The above song and four other very different songs were created only using the prompts New Wave, Piano, Guitar, and Vocals.

What is lacking in all this is for the program to print out the whole thing in standard notation track by track. That would give one the ability to modify the song.

While AI-generated music may be interesting, having human control of the outcome could produce some really good stuff.

Billy, you're right, that's a credible track. Completely agree AI has a lot of potential. Am struggling a bit with the good vs evil balance sheet, the proliferation of Veg-O-Matic music and the future livelihood of musicians. At any rate, am not experimenting with AI at the moment. I do wish AI would help me sort through the 55 million RealTracks that I have though. That would be sweet. smile

We have done some stupid thing with technology, bombs of any kind come to mind. Only time will tell when we are looking back on AI.
