Only recently did I discover the text-to-music AI companies (udio.com, suno.com) and I was surprised about how good the results are. Both are under lawsuit from RIAA.
I am curious if there are any local ones I can experiment with or train myself. I know there is facebook/musicgen-large on HuggingFace. That model is over 1 year old and there might be others by now. Also, based on the card I get the feeling that model is not going to be good at doing specific song lyrics (maybe the lyrics just were absent from the training data?). I am most interested in trying my hand at writing songs and fine-tuning a model on specific types of music to get the sounds I am looking for.
Interestingly, Jukebox from OpenAI was trained on what appears to be copyrighted music and involved styles and renditions that explicitly referenced specific artists. It’s now four years old though. The demo songs don’t seem to be available anymore on Soundcloud.
There is MusicLM from Google (2023) - no lyrics. Also, AudioCraft from Meta (2023) - also no lyrics as far as I can tell.
