Udio: The FREE AI Music Creator That Changes Music Forever

Amazing News today! Udio, the remarkable AI Music Generator that we looked at just a few days ago has surfaced, and even better: It is FREE during this open beta!
I had a call with the Udio team after my recent video, and they offered me access, so naturally I decided that I would make a tutorial for you as well!
So this is everything you need to know to get started with Udio!
Plus, since I had a chat with Udio, I have some answers to a few of your burning questions from the comments in the last video!

Yup. That’s my take. Spotify has been horrible for musicians. If it crashes from all this, I have no problem with it.

[@winter5945]

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.

[@123owly]

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.

[@MortimerNightshade]

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!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Haha, Yeah-- I don't really do the super cut-y zoom in, whoosh sound thing. I mean, a large part is that I do my own editing, so...I'm lazy? But yeah-- that ultra YT style just isn't my thing as well. It's funny, my pace (if we aren't diving into a tutorial section where we're looking closely at something) is about 5 seconds per shot. Which, is still kind of fast. I just don't feel the need to do a bunch of bells and whistles in that time. That, and I always just trust that you guys all have an attention span longer than 10 seconds!

[@AdrianMRyan]

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.

[@JFikeVisuals]

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

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

[@narottamzakheim5051]

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.

[@robotron07]

by the end of the year i bet we will have granular control over generations and if you know some music you could actually tell it to use certaing chords and melodies

[@Ibuyoldbeer]

I'm totally obsessed myself here. And I'm just scratching the surface. Entering my own lyrics and doing songs for friends.

[@tomhe286]

​@@Ibuyoldbeer Why bother write even own lyrics? Rather just let AI do it all. And your friends can make AI songs by themselves in one minut.

[@maccagrabme]

So far it's been creating more interesting tracks for me than some of the well known alternative bands of the late 70s and early 80s not big hits but better than the fillers on a lot of those type of albums, imagine if they had access to this tech back then their minds would have been blown, it would have been alchemy.

[@MrLieka]

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

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

They're SO stupid good. One of my favorite things is to try and take just a little section of a Tosin riff or solo and try to figure out how to cop it on a 6 string. Not at all note for note, but just his ideas on phrasing and rhythm. I can't keep up with trying to play like them though! Tried an 8-string once and got totally confused!

[@hIIXu]

not only that but Primus as well! What a great taste

[@josephdromboski6411]

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.

[@hardlines2635]

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.

[@larryreich5395]

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 KZbin channel! Keep up the great work!

[@GospelProgressionsUniversity]

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

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.

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!

[@duskfallmusic]

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.

[@dkpianist]

It wouldn't make any sense to begin with to publish the output as one's own and try to make money wiith it. it would be like playing the lottery. There would be nothing to actually identify with for the "artist" using such tools to produce music.

Wow, I've discovered covers of existing songs and melodies there, probably from one of the developers, because I haven't been able to discover this feature anywhere yet. So this is already technically possible! I hope this will soon be available as a feature, but then of course it will quickly become difficult from a copyright point of view. So we will have to hope for the rapid appearance of an open source alternative!

[@graph1ks]

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

[@Zoyous]

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.

[@neighborofthedevil]

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.

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.

[@jimmythebold589]

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

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

You’re speaking my language here. I hop around a lot of genres as well- and while my theory game is so/so, I often rely on Scaler (which I consider “dumb AI”) and ChatGPT for assists. Splice, as much as I’ve used them in the past, really has it coming. They’ve been pretty terrible in terms of optimizing their search, and DAW integration has been a mess. I’m really looking forward to the day where I can generate a kick/snare, or a keyboard pad like you can with image elements in Photoshop Gen Fill. I know people will complain that “the AI is doing the work” but many of those people who say things like that are the ones who aren’t actually doing the work. I see all of this as a fun and interesting way to create and learn more. Glad you commented! It’s always nice to hear from others on the same wavelength! (Pun intended!)

[@tomhe286]

Alarmist? Are you delusional or maybe still in denial phase? AI will replace most of the musicians in whole world. And it will do that very, very quicky. Especially Electronic music artists. Nobody cares if song was made by AI or by human as long as the song is good. AI just does it billions times faster and with little to no effort. There is no need anymore to learn music theory or learn difficult music programs as ANYONE can now make perfect music in few minits

[@1dievo]

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

[@jRoy7]

I'd be curious if you did prompt Primus, and the system detected and swapped it for other keywords like happened with Bestie Boys, how that list would compare to the list you generated on your own.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Good call! That's sort of what I was aiming to highlight in the video (but, forgot to tie a bow on it)-- I think you actually get BETTER results if you go to an LLM and have it describe what you're looking for-- rather than letting Udio decide on its own!

[@jRoy7]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Yeah I imagine so too. I've used LLM for lyrics and genre suggestions etc, but never thought about actually mapping a band to specific keywords. Gotta try that!

[@ekRapid]

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?

[@NealVisher]

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

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I think that'll be something we'll see in a Pro version down the line...

[@chicobraz4335]

The quality I’m getting is lo fi , not crisp , will this be solved in future updates

[@MetaPuppet]

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!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Haha, if there is ever a full Les-AI, man...the world is going to become is really, really, really, surreal place! To my ears, it sounded a bit like an outtake from AntiPop...which, is my least favorite Primus album.

[@MetaPuppet]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Agreed. Anti-pop was when they brought in some nu-metal influence, probably by the label, to sell records. I was a touring metal musician for 10 years and I'm ok with AI music, but I don't want there to be an AI-Les haha

[@aimusictv1]

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!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

As a long time guitarist-- the guitar sounds are INSANE. Not just the shred stuff either, I killed the "Bon Jovi Blues" song, but it had a pretty rippin' solo toward the end. Like, I was honestly thinking: I want to learn that solo!

[@aimusictv1]

@@TheoreticallyMedia - Same here. That was enough to convince me to sign up immediately. And after hearing about stems and comparing the GUI with its competitors’… I died and went to heaven.

[@jedstephensmusic0001]

that is amazing, what is the legality of releasing a track using the vocals created by that? I can make the music myself, but using the vocals would be very handy

[@TheGoosfrabba]

How did you generate videos for theese songs? I see option "download video" but does not work :(

[@topologyrob]

All of the examples were various kinds of pop music - can it cope with other genres than Western pop, eg 12th century Notre Dame counterpoint, gagaku, early Venetian opera, sturm & drang, Sopanam, p’ansori or 1870s Hamburg melodrama?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I want to hang out with you and go through your music collection! Try popping some of those keywords in and see what happens!

[@topologyrob]

@@TheoreticallyMedia thanks! I tried some - I expect it will catch up before long but currently it seems to confuse South Indian classical music with North Indian (a bit like confusing heavy metal with bluegrass) and has no clue with any traditional Japanese music I tried. But quite good on many current Western popular music subgenres

[@LincolnWorld]

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!

[@thorodt5135]

from the terms: "You acknowledge and agree that we may use your INPUT Content and Output to train or otherwise improve our Services, including our artificial intelligence and machine learnings model(s) related to the Services." "The Services may allow you to download copies of another user’s Output, and similarly other users may download copies of your Output." So the songs are not private here...

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

They are not. I'll circle back to them in a bit, but from talking to them-- apparently in terms of the licence, you (the generator) have it. They keep a clause in the licensing to be able to use the output for ad purposes, but that's it. Copyright is up in the air-- but that's an overall AI issue. If you generate an instrumental track and then sing over it, obviously that's yours and won't appear in any Ad material. Again, at some point when things calm down (it is launch day) I'll talk to them again and get answers for all this stuff. In the meantime, just have fun generating some songs! (If you can get it to work today!)

[@leiheiemigli1174]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Yea I just went through the terms and they do mention a private mode. But I couldn't find any privacy function on the interface. So as of now, sadly, with no private mode available I can't touch it.

[@circelink]

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

[@andymanco1208]

are we allowed to publish the songs generated from this?

[@DamianSilvers]

Is there a way to make subsequent tracks with the same band sound?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Not sure. I'll ask them. This (I know) has been a feature a few folks have asked for-- so I'll pop it on the list of question for a follow up!

[@DGreen951]

Can you change,alter, or always keep the same voice?

Whoa, love this.
