How To Use UDIO AI! (Tutorial Livestream)

Introduction

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my livestream where I delve deep into exploring UDIO AI for music production. This is an unscripted, casual investigation into the intricacies of UDIO's functions and how they can be leveraged for better music-making. A special shout-out to all the viewers who joined me live, provided prompts, and offered valuable feedback.

Setting The Stage

The session kicks off by sharing a link to the livestream and connecting with viewers. Bronson, my dog, makes a cameo appearance. The scene is set—my wife and daughter are at a swim meet, and my younger daughter is at a friend's house. I discuss my intentions with UDIO and how I'm looking to understand its various features.

Exploring UDIO: Functions Breakdown

• Prompt Strength: Defines how much influence your given prompt has on the generated output.
• Seed: A number that defines the contents of a clip. In manual mode, it ensures that the same prompt yields similar outputs.
• Clip Start: Determines where the generated clip should start in your full song.
• Generation Quality: Affects the overall quality of the output and context length, which governs how much of the current track the model considers when generating new output.

Experimentation: Context Length and Prompt Strength

1. Fusion Jazz Prompt:

   • We start off with a song created in Ableton.
   • First experiment with settings:
     • Context Length: 100
     • Prompt: Fusion Jazz
   • Generated a surprising build.

2. Short vs Long Context Length:

   • 8-second context length resulted in more experimental, varied output.
   • 100-second context length stayed closer to the original song.

3. Prompt Strength:

   • Higher values made the prompt more influential.
   • Lower values adhered more closely to the original song.

Viewers’ Prompts and Settings

Prompt by Jesse

• Smooth Jazz Musac: Context 8, Prompt Strength High.
  • Generated a trumpet-laden output that was wildly different.

Experiment with CR Brat's Suggestions

• A Kai S900 Sampler with Various Details:
  • Seed -1 gave us some spooky vibes.
  • Higher seeds (30k and 100k) produced results that varied wildly.

Testing Lyrics and Vocal Settings

• Contralto Vocal Prompt:
  • Mixed quality results, ranging from cheesy to outright funny.
  • Proved that vocals need more tweaks to fit in naturally.

Final Observations and Thoughts

Closing Remarks

• Summary: Gained a better understanding of the various settings in UDIO.
• Call to Action: Invited viewers to subscribe, engage, and provide more suggestions for future experiments.

Introduction

Q: What is Prompt Strength in UDIO AI? A: Prompt Strength defines how much influence your given prompt has on the generated output. Higher values make the prompt more influential in shaping the output.

Q: What does Context Length do? A: Context Length determines how much of the current track the model considers when generating new output. Longer context lengths yield more coherent outputs while shorter lengths can lead to more experimental results.

Q: How does the Seed setting affect the output? A: Seed is a number that ensures consistency in output when using the same prompt. In manual mode, a fixed seed will yield similar outputs for the same prompt. Changing the seed number will produce different results.

Q: Why use UDIO AI for music production? A: UDIO AI can act as an idea generator, helping producers overcome creative blocks by providing fresh, innovative takes on their existing tracks.

Q: How effective are the vocal and lyrics features in UDIO? A: The vocal and lyrics features can vary in quality. While they can generate ideas, they might need more tweaks to naturally fit into a production.

Conclusion

Exploring UDIO AI has been an insightful experience, shedding light on its capabilities and potential as a music production tool. Whether you're looking to generate fresh ideas or understand new settings, UDIO offers a range of features that can add value to your creative process.
