If the major labels put out a product like suno or udio... I would be a vip for how often I use it, and what I do with it. Just like I am at the other two. I think it's a great idea, and if paying them is what it takes, fine. Paying them is no problem. That said, I don't think they could do the job of training that Suno did without help. The breath of it. It's more than music or tags. That's where most people are getting this wrong. Suno has things in the training data that make it a musical instrument... if you know how to do it. I believe that's because they scanned a century of sheet music as well... among other things. Udio has better fidelity, but theirs is a much simpler training than the Chirp models.

The AI that UDIO and SUNO uses is based on Musicgen's related technology, which uses a multiband diffusion approach. Musicgen is a open source technology that can create music from prompts as well and it can use a melody from music you upload. I have two tunes where I took the melodies from "Hide and Seek" of Howard Jones and "Desert" by emilie simon (a french pop artist). Believe me, the technique is so well known among the AI world that its not going to matter a hell of beans if the music industry succeeds in stopping SUNO and UDIO, its just going to entice hackers and activists who want to eliminate the record companies cause of the evil behaviors they have exhibited in the past.

Furthermore; these 3 major labels are not sueing on behalf of artists.

They did this by conspiring with Spotify to pay artists fractions of cents per stream. As long as these A.I. companies put some kind of warning or notice on the music saying "This Was Made Using An A.I. Artist", so that people are not misled, then I see nothing wrong here. The A.I. services must also be priced reasonably, at a point that most can afford.

Wasn't long ago people who saying that if you're drawing midi notes into a DAW, you're not a real musician. UDIO and Suno probably aren't even doing as much training as you might think. People, not computers are likely training the AI with likes and dislikes long before it was released to the public. Why does the music sound so real? Probably a web based VST where the AI loads the plugins based on the genre. Every genre has it's own basic formula...this has to be far easier to do than Midjourny or Stable diffusion. As far as creativity...prompts gets boring, you'll want to have more controls, so later you'll find meta tags will be used to control the output more and more, so as long as you're writing you're own lyrics, I wouldn't say you're not being creative. People will use these tools to help them out of creative blocks, they will bring it into their DAW's , and remix to their liking. If they don't then they'll sound like everyone else. SUNO nor UDIO isn't a threat to musicians. It's a new tool, but it is a threat to the Monopoly of the big three labels, no doubt there. Does not mean Udio or Suno are doing anything wrong though. Also those samples that seemed similar to other peoples works. Man there is no way those would even compete with the real thing. I'd rather pay to hear an original track than some dollar store sounding knock off. Even of those can be made in the system, nobody is gonna release it and if they did nobody would buy it. One last thing...if they are indeed analyzing other peoples works, it could just as easily be to prevent output that actually would be copywrite infringement.

As a fellow musician, I understand your bias. However I think you're overlooking a dramatic difference between Suno and Udio. Udio showed up several months after Suno had completed training on several versions of their models, gradually and with intention homogenizing their output to NOT sound like any existing artist or song. I strongly suspect that their most recent model leans heavily upon licensed studio music. Meanwhile, Udio has not had the time to move beyond the sound of the music initially used for training. Udio is much more cavalier about the music they generate. I think that the music industry is going to have a very hard time proving (by generating songs) that Suno contains any specific song. I've tried hard to trick it. If you try inputting existing lyrics, they never sound like the original song, even with audio input, it doesn't happen. And, Suno makes a pretty strong effort to refuse copyrighted lyrics, too. It will be interesting. But, IMO, you're more likely to violate copyright with your DAW. This is relevant because the only way to even attempt to violate copyright, using Suno, is for the user to intentionally push the program to do so.

In the ongoing copyright lawsuits against UDIO and SUNO, we are witnessing a possible future where major music corporations could dominate the AI music scene. If these companies were to claim in the future that since they own the copyrights to the music used to train these AIs, they should also control the entire AI model, then we could see a significant shift in who controls this technology. If these corporations win, SUNO and UDIO will likely fall and be subject to buyouts, further concentrating power with these large corporations. They would then have exclusive rights to AI technologies capable of producing tracks that compete with top artists. This control could severely limit innovation, making it too expensive for new musicians and small businesses to access these tools. The result? A lack of diversity and creativity in music, with the entire AI music industry-or perhaps the entire music industry-falling under the control of a few large companies. We must recognize that allowing a few companies to use copyright laws to monopolize advanced technologies threatens artistic diversity and is against the public interest. Music should be a global treasure. We call on everyone, including policymakers, to focus on this issue to ensure that technological advancements are shared fairly, benefiting all, not just a select few.

I had Udio generate music for me to go along with lyrics I provided with very little prompts otherwise. Out of nowhere, it lifted the main piano riff from Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World" note for note but in a different key. If it had merely shifted a few notes I may not have even realized where it got the sound from. This result surprised me, as I had assumed that the reason other people were getting copyrighted infringement results was due to their prompting, telling the AI to "sound" like something or by providing very similar lyrics. Basically guiding it and/or limiting in ways where it couldn't help but copy something. But there was nothing about my lyrics that matched the original song in words, theme or structure, and it only used the riff when generating the song for me, the melody for my lyrics was entirely different. I gave it pretty wide latitude to create something entirely new and yet it directly copied a significant and defining portion of another song. I've come to realize that generative AI is simply a very splintered plagiarizer. It takes tiny fragments of existing works and rearranges it or modifies it until it's largely unrecognizable. But if it lacks enough variety, the chunks come out bigger and CAN be recognized. It's just a very sophisticated imitation machine. It does not "create" anything, it simply mimics what it ingests. This differs dramatically from what a human does with the content we ingest. We "feel" something and are inspired to create something new from the emotions the music generated, or we understand what the artist was going trying to do and build on that idea and take it somewhere new. AI has no understanding at all of what it generates, it merely identifies patterns and reorganizes them in a way it predicts will be successful. It doesn't even know if what it generated is any good, it only predicts that the odds are good that it might be. I used to think "what's the big deal of AI learning from existing works, humans have to as well, AI just does it much faster." Now I understand that, no, generative AI is not really "learning" anything. You're just giving it more content and patterns to copy and/or imitate. Whereas a human runs the risk of plagiarizing if they're being careless or lazy, AI can ONLY plagiarize.

With the right input, AI can produce something very close to the original, albeit with some loss. It's akin to recording songs from the radio onto cassette tapes with hiss and wobble when I was a kid. If I remix two songs from those tapes, is it my creation, or does it remain a remix of existing songs?

If you say that "users of Suno and Udio aren't making musing, they're entering prompts", then you could also argue that "the person who plays the piano isn't making music, he's pressing keys". I understand that AI is heavily disruptive to the industry of creators and distributors, and that society might want to think of a way to protect those who could be harmed severely by that. (I would support that idea a lot.) But the current arguments to sue software companies for their technological innovation seem quite ridiculous. You can easily copy a painting by taking a picture of it, but until now, it was always the responsibility of the photographer... and when trying to sell that picture, he should be held accountable if that would be a copyright infringement - nobody would think of suing Canon or Nikon or another camera manufacturer. Why is it so hard to treat the current audio creations in the same way? When a song created by one of these tools is considered a copyright infringement by a court, then the person who tries to make money from it should be the one to blame.

@@NorthgateLP fair enough about a physical object removed from a store. But in the digital realm, there's always a transaction when a digital good is consumed.

@@daviddas Right, but if the AI companies pay that transaction fee to train their AI then I don't see why it should be prevented from analysing these songs and compose new music based on what it learned. One important thing that I see a lot of people misunderstand is that when an AI composes something new it has absolutely no access to it's training data and does not contain any copyrighted information in it's model. It creates things solely by what it learned through fancy math. Now if the AI companies have aquired their training data via illegal means that would be an entirely different story, but then the copyright infringement doesn't really have anything to do with AI.

Firstly, the use of generated content isn't just confined to Americans nor is it solely distributed within the U.S. Secondly, while copyright laws related to AI may evolve with the times, private rights are almost impossible to alter.

This is the process that SUNO and UDIO uses, they train a model, by adjusting a neural net to replicate a close enough version of content based on the prompt given, but the way the neural net stores information, its impossible to ask it to give you precise songs, as it conceptualizes the the style of the music down to the similarities in the musicians voices and composition process. But to actually make the precise songs is like pulling teeth. If you don't believe me, just have Gemini or ChatGPT or read it from Wikipedia how a Neural Net stores information ,its like a fuzzy logic version of nested if-then conditions. Sending input in one end and gaining the results of one complex formula. And there isn't a person on the face of the planet that can identify what any part of it really does, its so complex. And its likely what the Lawyers of Suno and UDIO will provide the music industry lawyers when it asks for an explanation of where the content is stored.

Well the reason why the lawsuit shouldn't really frighten anyone is the same reason why other platforms who do similar things shouldn't be worried either (or even be fearful of a similar lawsuit). For Example; Twitch implemented "Famous" voices as TTS voices for donations to streamers, trained on song artists voices, and mostly all (if not all) are trained on song data - The Weeknds voice is completely trained on one song; if you wrote down the lyrics for the song in your TTS, the song would essentially be played. Although the data is trained on these copywritten voices, anyone can get paid with the addition to these voices, adding formative content to their streams. Where is the line in this regarding copyright , and how does it relate to infringement as a whole for AI training data? well that's the whole point of the example, these things still need to be defined, and lines need to be drawn before estimations of crossing those lines can even be made. In the same way these companies are mad that these AI generations are creating things using previously existing art/ "their art" - the logic should fall under all matters of this magnitude, including but obviously not limited to that example. The problem with that, is that the very foundation of the lawsuit (This is data trained using our licensed music) Needs to first have a category to even fall under the guidelines of what is considered "wrong" of them to do, *first*, before they are even considered for doing "said wrong thing" within the confines of those guidelines. The courts need to define what they consider within the fair use-age regarding training data for AI as a whole. And THAT is a process that I don't think these companies realize just how long it is. Even if the AI companies are in the wrong, they first need to be defined within the confines of what type of copyright infringement the Music industries are claiming first. They might not even get that far. And this will take at the very least a decade to even draw the line of distinction. All in all, I believe this won't get very far. By the time they draw the lines on AI training data to even start this fully, the lines will be even further blurred.

My fav tool is the band in a box pedal, but of course I don't get the beats from the pedal, once I have a functioning idea, I record it, then do the drums, bass, vocals around the guitar. With ai music generation, I have been able to get the syllables of my written lyrics, and prompt an ai gen with what I want. Then I work on that.

However, the advent of new technology heralds a transformative shift that could drive these companies into bankruptcy. Their arguments against this innovation are utterly unfounded. Artists have always learned from one another, drawing inspiration from chord progressions, rhythms, and harmonies. Now, AI enhances this creative process by providing us with prompts that lead to original work. There is no fundamental difference between the ubiquitous use of the same four chord progressions in countless songs and the use of AI in music creation. I find it amusing that the record industry, after years of exploitation, is finally facing the consequences of its actions.

SUNO's music cannot really replicate period pieces, the music SUNO makes is representative of music , not particular kinds of artists.. You'd be hard pressed to make anything with SUNO that sounds like vintage tunes. Whereas UDIO fills that space. The difference is that SUNO's sound quality is superior and UDIO's sound quality is sorely lacking, it sounds like listening to repeatedly compressed mp3s.. It might be possible to increase the quality of this music, but every AI hopeful has its conspiracy theorists like thsoe of Midjourney where they claim a version of Midjourney exists that produces perfect hands, they just are afraid to offer it to the public. In fact they share a particular day when the engine accidentally produced perfect images from prompts. I'm sure such people exist on every platform, but for UDIO its mostly coming from people who fear UDIO eliminating their art. It reminds me as a former resident of Los Alamos, NM (my hometown) hearing all the "exprets" groups in Santa Fe and Taos claiming that the labs were ruinding their lives, such as the Taos Hum. The representatives of Espanola, Pojoque and Santa Fe gerrymandered Los Alamos into three sections so it couldn't represent itself in elections. And a lot of scientists would point out that if Los Alamos and Sandia left the state, it would end up like northern New Mexico, impoverished further, with its only income being casino resorts that would seduce truckers. Nobody is going to travel to New Mexico to play golf in Pojoque, but still there is this green out in the middle of the dessert waiting for some curious Golfer to master. Its like a Golf course surrounded by sand trap. And don't bother playing at night to the coyotes that sound like crying babies,

What is the difference between an AI model ingesting any recorded music, data on music theory and an artist spending days, weeks or months listening to the same music and reading endless articles, books etc on music theory and sheet music a being influenced by it to write, record and perform something similar? My view why these record labels are only going after Udio and Suno rather than other players in the AI music generation market (even so called ethical players) is because there is a difference between them. The likes of Soundraw, Soundful and others only produce audio output and backing tracks at best because you don’t have any real control over the output, but Udio and Suno standout because they can produce the audio in a way that is more creative and a kin to actual songwriting by using meta tags for thing like intros, instrument solos, voicing styles. Add to that the addition of vocal output then it is a danger to their business, some would say to artists as well. But to me an amature creative with some musical skill and ability to write lyrics they provide a tool to produce something that not so long ago I could only hope to achieve. I also find it strange they are not suing the AI voice changers in the same way, as these provide an equal threat to them and their artists because they allow recorded vocals to be swapped out for somebody else who didn’t actually record the vocals, but maybe the reason for this is that they are actively investing in these voice changing AI models so that they can exploit them and their artists by being able to create new Beatles songs or have Billie Eilish cover a song she doesn’t want too.

Of course though like with expert musicians, if you tell it to reproduce a certain style it will be able to. That is the violation of copyright and would be a violation with people as well. Considering the training of the parameters a violation would have numerous potential consequences that are not clear. Don't get me wrong though. I am not arguing for it or against it.

The user is still required to perform some task, and approves or disapproves the output. Regarding the training, there is a fight to be had. Personally i think the only think someone owns is their own efforts. If it is made aware to others, they made aware can absorb and reproduce what they learn.

Utilize this technology as a valuable tool to optimize your workflow and improve your output. Also, it is crucial for you to delve deeper into the workings of these LLMs. The level of sophistication behind their operation is truly awe-inspiring once you grasp the intricacies of these systems. They possess a remarkable ability to emulate the human brain, enabling them to learn from information and generate novel concepts. These companies that are filing lawsuits simply want control, whether due to a lack of comprehension regarding how these systems operate or a desire to profit from them, or perhaps both.

Great Video David! We've created our youtube music channel few months back thanks to Suno and Udio. These AI platforms gave us a chance to share our creativity, even on Spotify. Something we couldn't possibly afford doing before.

I see that concept of "We want to make it possible for everyone to make music" to be one of the fundamentally flawed ideas behind this. Why should *everyone* be able to make music? Why? That would remove all the magic from it. Making music is a gift, a special talent, and not everyone can do it. Some things, like the arts, should stay in the realm of talents and craft that only a small segment of talented people can do. By the AI companies' logic, I guess we should also make it possible for everyone to also be... professional athletes? Brain surgeons? Astronauts? Why not let everyone become talent-deficient pretenders in every field? Why is this "make it easy-peasy even for people with no talent" stuff being reserved only for writing, art, and music? What's that you say...? You don't want your surgeon to be some faker who is having AI do all the heavy lifting? Interesting!

Every time I think of something in favor of this tech, you actually address it. I'm all in favor of this tech. Tradesman like myself have been getting replaced in most everything. If it were up to the wrong people, we would still be bring ice from up north down to the south just to cool our homes. Nonetheless I love this technology and mainly use it to make funny songs to entertain friends or something super specific to my life, family and friends.

Cant wait till they figure out how to train these models on less data. Aka only public commons, or self generated and rated dated. The sooner the ai midels can sidestep the copyright/ip paradigm the better

Does this whole situation remind anyone of Napster? You won't be able to get rid of AI generative music; if there's any legal push back, it will just temporarily go underground but then it will pop back up all over the place. The record labels know this and so they have to adapt. The process will go like this. First they will sue Udio and Suno and they will win in some capacity. But here's the catch... the record companies won't want to get rid of Udio or Suno, they just want a piece of the pie. So what will then happen is that they will go into a partnership much like what we have with between record labels and streaming services like spotify, youtube music, etc... Ultimately, Udio and Suno will be a paid-only service with licensing deals from the record companies. The record companies will give full access to their catalogue. You'll go in and prompt "Make me a new album of original songs by The Beatles", $4.99 charged to you then pouffff... there's your new album using exact replicas from the original artists. That's it, that's all folks... Enjoy the process.

Your Napster comparison is valid, but eventually Napster and Limewire gave way to authorized ways to distribute and consume music, like the iTunes Music Store, Apple Music, Spotify, etc.

@@daviddas there are also very good musics done with Udio. I'm also using it and I love it. I don't understand why they always complain about the fact that everything is trained with something. Even people are trained with something when we study, so what's the problem to use AI ? For me, that can be very helpful in everything.

so someone who has a voice similar is infringing on copyright ..... artists listen to others music and get ideas. So someone who uses a guitar to make music is infringing on Fender or Gibson

I got a few minutes in to this and up pops an advert for AI generated basslines! It asserted that back in the day when people started using laptops and software people using big consoles and tapes said that was cheating. I don't remember that. Computer stuff was actually alot more expensive and the evolution was analogue, then these huge digital systems for hard disk recording that only major artists could afford. Everyone else still used consoles and tape until the costs of digital came down. No one said it was cheating.

Artists get inspired by listening to music. So what's the diffrence? Maybe they can take Carl Orf to court to. He took multiple music parts to create Carmina Burana. The only thing that this case is about is money and the labels beeing scared of competition. And note to the maker of the video. If you write your own lyrics, the AI will not find any comperison. But if you give in a promt with the lyrics of an existing song, you'll come close to that song. So...

It's not gonna stand, their sites have option of upload original music and also that's what they said with regards to DAW back in the 90's. Greed is a problem with these record companies. Chances those settlements are not going to the actual artist.
