Udio is over the top next level tech 💯

[@scienceed5031]

This is crazy insane

[@RECORD_LAiBEL]

Udio works great for jazz music, I've been having a lot of fun with it!

[@TrevorsTake]

Amazing! Do you have a link to any songs?

Good tutorial. 👍

[@BibleClassPro-777]

Thank Trevor, I am saying Kudos to you from Nigeria. Your take on the offerings of UDIO is creative and correct . it helped me a lot to develop a beautiful song thank you

[@TrevorsTake]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@user-tl1zg4vl7c]

Nice video!!!

[@TrevorsTake]

Thanks!

[@exeliximusic]

Super ❤

[@RVDENT]

Pretty sweet. Hope it becomes more collaborative in the future i.e. you can have a stem bouncedown of the track that you could customise in a DAW.

[@TrevorsTake]

You’re right, more customization on the backend would be ideal. With this being their first iteration, who knows what’s coming next

[@RVDENT]

@@TrevorsTake Splice are already doing it with their create feature (sure you are familiar) which is cool if you are stuck for ideas. Exciting times ahead

[@KauzIV]

Can you select the time when extending? Sometimes just the last seconds of a section are bad...

[@TrevorsTake]

When I posted the video, no. Now, they have a new feature called "select section" when extending that does just that!

[@normvork4063]

I want to know if there is a good way to get clean vocal acapellas in Udio ? Vocal splitters don't do a great job.

[@TrevorsTake]

Use manual mode when prompting and use acapella as your first tag - this worked well for me! Let me know

[@trilogen]

So I generated a song which was initially for a goof with funny lyrics. But I did not expect the rendition and vocals to come out really well done like a hit song. So now I want to turn it into a proper piece. Do I just click Remix to keep the vocals and instrumentals the same but take out the lyrics?

[@TrevorsTake]

Haha love it! Yes, remix with your new lyrics and leave the similarity bar near the middle

[@trilogen]

@@TrevorsTake oh doh! It will only remix songs 30 seconds long

[@trilogen]

@@TrevorsTake I think a good tip is to keep the original 30 sec sample just in case you decide to remix in the future.

[@PP-kg8tx]

I like the song I created a lot and would like to have more of this artist in the same style. How aan I create more music from the same "band"?

[@TrevorsTake]

I'm not aware of how to do this currently. My best guess would be to use manual mode and use very descriptive tags. Hopefully they implement a more accurate way to do this in the future!

[@cstoomey]

We need more tutorials on how to write full songs with Udio. Also cannot WAIT for Google AI Sandbox.

[@TrevorsTake]

Let me dig into this! And yes, Google AI Sandbox looks awesome! Their recent announcements have me excited for a lot of their upcoming launches

[@TrevorsTake]

I made a new video on this! Let me know what you think

[@samnelson9477]

how do you delete a composition from your list of tracks?

[@TrevorsTake]

click "My creations" -> click "..." button on far right of your track -> click "delete"

[@TubeMusicHaha]

hi, udio or suno better for synthwave and rock?

[@TrevorsTake]

I prefer Udio for most everything currently!

[@LeGenda-2400]

This thing is crazy. I have decided to create a new KZbin channel for the songs I created. So far, no copyright issues detected by KZbin algorithm. And the songs are amazing.

[@TrevorsTake]

Thanks for reporting!

[@djinn2993]

What’s the channel

[@jeromeweaver809]

I have been working with Suno and sent a stem for them to improve the sound. Today, I noticed that the sound quality has improved.

[@TrevorsTake]

That’s great! Have you used both? How would you say they compare?

[@LaurinaHawks]

@@TrevorsTake Suno is also very impressive with pop songs. But it's totally unable to create classical Music, like a Film Score or smth. Udio does it perfectly.

[@Operatord27]

@@LaurinaHawks agree with u,, Udio is perfect for music score, orchestral , its very impresive than suno, ,, suno for me , maybe is great for Punk, Rock, EDM and Pop

[@natttt7377]

or just open ableton and make smth expressive and beautiful

[@TrevorsTake]

For beginners, Unio is fun and simple, but ableton seems to take things to a whole new level. Very cool! What do you use it for?

[@paulmilligan886]

Sure do agree with you. Being a professional level musician myself, this technology is a gimmick and won't hold out to actually live humans who can sing, play and be original. Hate AI

[@TrevorsTake]

AI is moving towards realistic for pictures, videos, text, song. We’ll have to adapt as it grows. Agreed that there’s no replacement for real music, especially live

[@Liminal_Life]

You have that option. But not everyone wants or needs to do it that way. There are many use cases for music. We're not all trying to make the next pop music hit. Sometimes we just need a nice enough background. Just like you COULD program your own operating system for your own computer too, maybe design your own coding language?

[@trilogen]

How do you give your Published music a nice cover?

[@TrevorsTake]

Go to "my creations" -> click on "song name" -> click "edit" -> click "edit image"

[@trilogen]

@@TrevorsTake Thank you so much! 🔥

[@thewebstylist]

I prefer Sona but How are we supposed to join the extended tracks into one seamless song?

[@TrevorsTake]

Glad you’re having luck with it! What do you prefer? When you extend a track, it automatically merges them together. Ex: you start with 32 seconds and extend intro. You now have 64 seconds. If you extend that for the outro, you now have 96 seconds

[@homerpez]

Has anyone had luck with getting longer songs to be consistent using custom lyrics? I want it to go Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Solo, Chorus, Outro... but even when I tag them as that, it creates all NEW melody for EACH segment. I want to keep the verses the same tune, and the chorus the same tune, so it sounds like the same song.

[@TrevorsTake]

What order are you extending in? Also, are you using regular or manual mode?

[@KauzIV]

Yes it works. Be sure to adapt your input. So for example maybe Just: Verse, Chorus for the 1st 30 seconds then extend Chorus, Solo, for the next 30 seconds and the in a last extend operation Chorus and outro. What I mean, it will not recognize to start in the middle if you extend, but put in all of your lyrics.

[@HarryClipzFilmz]

What is the prompt for female vocals?

[@TrevorsTake]

I use “male vocalist” and “female vocalist”

[@HarryClipzFilmz]

@@TrevorsTake Thanx for responding, i figured it out on my own and the song came out great.

[@johnhawkinshawkins1284]

...and nothing about downloading?!?! press the DL button....and it just plays the song...

[@citadelo5ricks]

What are the copyright resrictions?

[@TrevorsTake]

Their FAQ has great info - www.udio.com/faq. Can I use the content I generate using Udio for commercial purposes? For example, can I distribute the music I generate on music streaming platforms? Can I include it in a monetized video on KZbin? Can I license it for use in TV/movies/advertisements/etc.? Yes, as long as the content does not contain copyrighted material that you do not own or have explicit permission to use, and as long as you properly indicate that the content was generated using Udio. See Udio’s Terms of Service for more detailed information about the usage rules for content generated using Udio.

[@LaurinaHawks]

There are no copyright restrictions, it's all yours and you can use it private or commercial BUT you have to credit UDIO in the Metas! So you may NOT claim to be the composer, you are the texter in best case.

[@redempireproductions]

We've been using Udio to do a lot of cinematic audio experiments for film scene compositions, as well as some fun cover songs (some of which are on our channel) for us, the biggest thing getting in the way of some seriously great pieces of music was the control factor. Udio only lets you output at 33s at a time, with limited adjustment features that would affect the whole segment of music. Often we found that it was only a tiny section of that 33s segment that we wanted to adjust but we had to throw away the whole piece and completely regenerate. Here's our latest experiment, a cover of Avril Lavigne's 'I'm With You', which for the most part stands up......but there's definitely some disjointed bits in there that could have used some tighter finessing kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJaqh5Waj8SpfMUsi=h7WmlqKFpd0kVjJj

[@TrevorsTake]

Completely agree! I've seen this feedback quite a bit, so hopefully the ability to fine tune sections is top of the list for them. This cover is awesome!

[@TrevorsTake]

Have you tried the new "select section" feature? It lets you cut things from the beginning, end, or both sides of sections when extending. This has helped a lot, but hoping they will allow us to trim anywhere moving forward.

[@redempireproductions]

@@TrevorsTake thank you 🙂

[@redempireproductions]

@@TrevorsTake no not yet! I haven’t seen this cut feature, thank you for the tip I will take a look! Yes, definitely think the game changer will be exactly as you said, being able to cut/select anywhere from the track to edit.

[@peterbergman2131]

It just keeps saying error generating tracks

[@TrevorsTake]

I had this issue a few times too. I think it's server issues due to popularity. Try again in a few hours and should be good to go!

[@jonnyvondoom2631]

Omg

[@nightmisterio]

I wish they could split the vocals and the instrumentals tracks.

[@TrevorsTake]

What are you hoping to do with the split tracks out of curiosity?

[@nightmisterio]

@@TrevorsTake I think it's obviouse, I will sing the song from the AI made to my real voice. and mix it together with the instrumental part, with a good quality from the source it would be great to mix it.

[@TrevorsTake]

@@nightmisterio gotcha! You could always choose “instrumental” on udio and sing over the result. Also, if you want to get a little more complicated, software like CapCut allows you to isolate vocals or eliminate vocals so you can have either or both. I apologize if I’m still misunderstanding!

[@nightmisterio]

@@TrevorsTake But I can't guess how it all will come out, like a shot in the dark with no guiding no way to control, any software to remove vocals will deteriorate the sound, it would be good if they could just generate 2 tracks, one with vocals and one without vocals.

[@TrevorsTake]

@@nightmisterio makes sense. Hopefully it’s on the list to be added!

[@miguelsureda9762]

GIRLS. Did you hear this ? “OPEN A.I. MY SUGAR PAPI !”. A flashing mulatta PEACHY da Whuupi seems to know more. Heard on Spotify and You Tube music.

ummmm, thats not a COMPLETE tutorial. Heaps of other effects are missing.

[@TrevorsTake]

Anything in particular that you were hoping to see that was missed? Happy to make another video!

[@PJZombie]

​​@TrevorsTake yes, a list and explanation of manual tags such as [ ] and "" " to alter output in lyrics section.

[@TrevorsTake]

@@PJZombie gotcha, so more of a deep dive on custom lyrics?

[@PJZombie]

@@TrevorsTake yes, it doesn't exclusion very well the extra tags within lyrics to alter the output. Etc the use of: [Drop] [Chorus] "Words" (Guitar solo) Etc etc
