AI generated audioThe #riffusion#AI says you can upload songs, give it a prompt, and it will make a remix for you. Being in capable of doing audio editing myself, that sounded exciting! So I grabbed an old @Onj track from his TBRN days, and asked for a hardcore dubstep remix. It gave me, uh, something. It's called Frankie Wolf, apparently. You remember that time you wrote Frankie Wolf, right Andre? Seriously, I bet nobody can even identify what track this was before the AI did unspeakable incomprehensible things to it.
AI generated audio@fastfinge I... Um... I don't even know what to say about that but for some inexplicable reason I kinda like it. I don't want to like it.
AI generated audio@Onj Yup, it was! I have no idea where the yelling man came from, or what happened to the sheep. But the phone stayed untouched, for...reasons.
AI generated audio@Onj I originally tried with Cheap Plastic Roger, but it just turned that into horrific shrieking noises with someone smashing a drum behind them. Completely unlistenable.
AI generated audio@Onj Its the day after valentines day. Also I was curious about how much effect my prompt has. I asked for the same track as a romantic love ballad. Why is it in german? This German man eventually gets just as excited about Frankie.
AI generated audio@Onj Right, one more and now I'm off to do something productive with my life. This time I wanted to be a bit more fair and ask Riffusion for something at least vaguely musically similar. I asked it to turn the track into a kpop song. It, uh, just kind of ignored me. Anyway, here's the Bollywood Freaky Freaky Fwoof remix everyone always wanted!
AI generated audio@Onj You should. It's free while you're in beta. It also advertises that as you favourite songs, and upload your own tracks, it can train itself to better match your musical style. So...I...ummm...I guess I'm pretty screwed.
AI generated audio@Onj Really? I was thinking that if we'd learned one thing from this thread, it's that Riffusion is absolutely terrible LOL @fastfinge
AI generated audio@jscholes@fastfinge It's, I don't know. It's somehow captivating to see just what madness it will produce. The last one he posted was honestly not terrible.
AI generated audio@Onj@jscholes Also, I'm not exactly being fair to it by giving it a track as strange as Freaky Freaky Fwoof to work off of. I suspect that people who aren't trying to be funny could make something pretty okay.
AI generated audio@Onj@jscholes Did you maybe give it the instrumental version, not the version with the TTS voices and Patrick and the sheep and the ripping noises and the telephone and everything? Also, I don't pay for Suno. Does it let you describe what you want in a cover? For reference, this was the track I gave Riffusion.
AI generated audio@fastfinge@jscholes Wen you pay, you can upload a track and have it covered in a variety of styles, give lyrics or specify instrumental, etc. When you use the free account you can only extend a track which is a different thing.
AI generated audio@Onj@jscholes Oh, interesting. In riffusion you upload, then you just get a textbox to type your prompt. You can change the lyrics and pick instrumental if you want. But you don't have to select a particular style or anything. Just type whatever. You can also extend audio, but I think there's maybe a bar I have to drag or something? I haven't figured that part out yet. It would explain why Suno makes so much more sense if the input is more restricted.
AI generated audio@fastfinge@jscholes Oh you can get it to go utterly stupid-crazy if you want, by throwing a bunch of random words in the style field.
AI generated audio@Onj@jscholes Does suno try to transcribe the lyrics for you and do it really, really badly? These...are not the lyrics to Believer by Imagine Dragons... [Verse 1] First thing first, I'm the singer of the world It's down to my think I'm one percent on my services I was broken for my age, thinking my friends would make me so out I think my parents would build them to be my turn to show me high, high
[Chorus] hey hey hey i oh oh hey hey is You're the face of the future, of the blood of the rain. Woo -hoo! The blood of the rain. Woo -hoo!
[Verse 2] hey maybe now you maybe not believe me Hey, I like the butterfly, don't let me wait. My life is to the mind, just for today.
AI generated audio@rlegowski1@Onj It deeply amuses me that the most identifiable thing it kept from the original track was the telephone ringing sound. Everything else came from, I don't know where. Some sort of AI fever dream.
AI generated audio@rlegowski1@fastfinge Oh I've done great things with Suno before, stuff I genuinely love, not just like, I got it to make an entire album of covers of my material that are just awesome and I'd be happy to have my name associated with them, but I've heard some utter dross too. This at least isn't that.
AI generated audio@rlegowski1@fastfinge Here's the Suno album I was talking about. Honestly, you might be quite impressed with some of the results. two links, one zip file and one youtube playlist.
