Stability AI introduces their AI model for creating audio and music. You can try it out now: https://www.stableaudio.com/
Previous AI audio generators were quite bad, but damn the snippets they present on this one sound really, really good.
I’m going to disagree with you extremely hard there. I follow several AI music artists that make absolutely phenomenal music.
Can you drop some links? I’m interested.
This is going to kickstart the “electronic/sequenced/programmed music isn’t music” debate all over again.
I think the difference with this before was that people thought electronic musicians weren’t really doing anything and the computer just spat out music, when there was actually a load of work going into it.
This is pretty much literally what people were saying was happening before, so the argument would probably be a bit more valid this time around.
Its music, but the level of skill to make it is low, and therefore of little credit to the one who makes it.
Can this kind of stuff be used for music restoration? I have a song that sounds kind of garbled and poorly balanced (it came from RealAudio over dialup) and to my knowledge it’s never been released.
Contrary to what the other guy is talking about, you can totally use AI for restoration, or at least upgrading the audio.
However this one might not be able to do it. It depends on how this thing is programmed and if it supports something like stable diffusions control net
Totally. AI does serious improvement to visual resolution upscaling, so it should be capable of serious audio resolution upscaling. Upscaled media never is exactly like the original, but its quality is massively improved to the way humans perceive things.
you can’t really use AI for restoration at all, modern AI systems are based around generating just, whatever. and the hope is that with enough training the whatever will bias towards what you want.
this means that it can’t restore, it can’t reason about what was originally there, it can only make it’s own thing and we hope that with enough training it’ll fool humans enough not to matter.
if all you want is something to sound “better” and don’t care about the restoration aspect then sure. if you want what was originally there, no
You’re making a conservation vs restoration argument here.
Restoration is what the guy is asking about, I suspect, not conservation.
nah, conservation would be keeping that original recording in a way as close as possible, Restoration would be restoring what was originally there.
What AI does is neither, it imagines details that never existed to make something new. It’s important that we don’t erode the meaning here because what AI does is cool, but it also does something new that does not care about the original thing.

Ok, this is the shit I have wanted.
I love music, I just don’t have the patience to learn modern technology. This could at least help me get ideas out of my head.
