Some of you may have noticed that if you're doing lyrics and you "extend" on multiple occasions, the written lyrics on the track page of Udio get all messed up. You can use "inpaint" to fix this. Simply replace all of the lyrics with the ones you wrote originally and put "***" at the front and back. Then select just the last second of your track. It will replace all of your lyrics and, if the last second is a face to silence, you won't hear it at all.

Now, that’s a pro tip! Thanks! 😊

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@dirtydevotee]

@@AtomicGains-ql8hg My pleasure.

[@RandomInternetDude5000]

Thank you, could you also explan how the function at the bottom "Context Lengh" should be set?

[@morena-jackson]

Wow what a wonderful site! I've had this site bookmarked for awhile now but I haven't looked at it yet. Thanks so much for showing us how to use it.

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Thanks for watching! I hope you have fun creating some awesome songs.

[@Vivaildi]

wow, now you're a musician !

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

I wouldn't call myself a musician hehe, but thank you.

[@FrankysAItime]

Your creativity is off the charts! I'm dabbling in AI music on my channel too, it's such a fascinating field!

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Wow, thank you for your kind words. It is an incredible app, I hope you're having fun with it.

[@SimpleTechAI]

I use it all the time and have made several full-length songs with lyrics I've written myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

That's great, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Dystopian84]

Generated using simple text not " made " , that will never be the same thing

[@christophergeorgia9670]

Super useful video dude, thanks

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@micbab-vg2mu]

Great tips - thank you :)

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@OblivionAviator]

Great video. Thanks for this. I'm just curious if I overlooked something? Is there no way in Udio to cut & splice pieces of the track? For instance, if I only want to use the first 17 seconds of a 32 second intro and splice it to the verse?

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Thanks! They don't have that editing function at the moment, hopefully soon they will add a tool for us to do that, it would be incredibly useful.

Thanks, it means a lot as we're doing our best to deliver useful content.

[@user-rr3by4bp2q]

I can't get impaint to work, it just replaces the marked section with gibberish.

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

It isn't perfect and requires a lot of trial and error, hopefully they will update it soon. I would urge you to keep trying though as it may take a few tries to get the desired result.

[@getkraken8064]

Having some experience generating ai songs from my own lyrics, I have to say that if I was working at creating a new song, and this first stem popped up, I would send it to the trash can first listen and try for something a lot better, which I know is possible. And IMO, necessary. You don't fall in love with the first girl you meet.

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Yes I agree it can take a few tries to get it right, its all trial and error.

[@user-ow1tl2lg5j]

my suggestion is to NOT use chatGPT to generate any lyrics!. This because the lyrics are probably the most direct way to control the music in the direction you want. Udio is a sort of expert about "metrics and rhymes"... try to do some "Remix" to discover how is creative about this point. At 11:17 ChatGPT helped you to prepare a sort of regular monolithic lyrics and, infact is exactly what you got at 12:50: a regular monolithic boring song! Instead, use the lyrics from some famous song (Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys etc...) to discover how a *real* good lyric carry to a much more interesting song! Important: DO NOT stuff a random lenght text in Udio. If you put too text it will generate a sort of rap, simple because is the only solution to fit the time. Instead, stuff the same amount of text you will find in 30 seconds of a real song...

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Thank you for your feedback. Using chatGPT is just an option for people that aren't song writers (like myself) to get familiar with how Udio works. I do agree that if you want to produce a more nuanced song that is unique, then using your own lyrics is the way to go.

[@CallmeShadowyn]

I agree and disagree. At this point, everything seems to be up for grabs as far as replicating what is already out there, lol. You both have 2 techniques that should be applied. One creates a more custom specific lyric that gives you some sort of orginality while the other allows you to have style and a standalone delivery. What I like about your idea the most it can be more accurate if pulled from an artist of the same genre. I used an AI lyric generator and it gave me like 5 verses. Without good prompts (like ChatGPT) you really have no idea what youre creating, only that your lyrics are more customed to your desire. Idk, if you truly broke down a song from an artist or treated it like a mad lib. Kind of how ppl do parodies or remixes. Specifically for those reasons that is fine, but its not when you really are trying to be creative. Lastly, for free users, both suffer from good quality gen due to a linear song build that has to be followed which sucks imho. 30 secs of lyric at a time isnt how pros write. Its why ppl use basic structure because Udio doesnt do dynamic without lots of gens.

[@Phienyx440]

Doesn't the fact the [Verse 1] of Wind Chaser only has 3 lines throw off the symmetry of the song?

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

It probably does, I should have changed it for better results.

[@janet.snakehole]

i used UDIO for like 5 hr last night without limits... today i have a 10 credit limit 🤔 how can i make this more predictable ?

[@NewMexicoCountrySongs]

Im addicted, cant stop! There's a button at bottom that says advanced. Its a scale you can adjust.. all the way to the right will give you more consistency of Melody

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Maybe they add more credits daily.

[@damonsummers]

Uxío is just too expensive, compared to other option, and it really isn’t that great atm

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

I agree it is expensive, but I still think the free version is great for playing around with. It will definitely get better over time.

[@CallmeShadowyn]

Pro tips? Instructions sure, but you didn't show anything to help with the constant errors of Udio. Free users can't use inpaint. At least, use it to fix your pop song to get a pro song like you mentioned. Didn't even hear it at the end.

[@AtomicGains-ql8hg]

Thanks for your feedback, this video was to showcase what can be done within Udio, I'll make sure to show the viewers the final outcome in future videos, as I understand people will want to see/hear the final product. I do mention that the inpaint feature is for paid users...I still think the Udio is great for all the free content it has to offer.

[@CallmeShadowyn]

@@AtomicGains-ql8hg Youre welcome, I wasnt trying to harp, but as a free user I find it frustrating a good portion of the time (now at least since sub started) to get good gens and was hoping for actual pro tips. I wanted to see them in action because lots of times when I enter prompts they still fail. Ex. gender voices, genre prompts, instrumental solos, etc. Inpaint sounds like the only way to assure a change to occur. Remixing a change doesnt seem to always fix it or rarely does. Im also noticing that selection change sometimes fails and ADDS your change on to your song. I dont even want to mention how bad your lyric page looks most of the times. I wish they allowed lyric prompts to be separate from your final lyric post on the song page.

[@Edbrad]

As a music producer I’m not personally bothered if it can’t do it all in the website. I just want more tools to take material OUT of Udio and write over the top with samples and synths and remix etc

[@jeremyandrebecca]

@@EdbradThey’ve said that the ability to save out stems is coming, which should allow exactly this. I’ve signed up for the paid plan to support them in anticipation of this feature. Would be a nice way to add loops and other elements to songs I’m working on. Might also help speed along the production process. We’ll see. 😊
