This weekend I became an AI powered music producer!
Over the weekends, I occasionally have time to tinker with AI tools. This time, I played around with Udio and created AI-powered music. Common AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are everyday aids that I use regularly. I also regularly use AI tools for image generation, such as Leonardo AI and Alpaca Chroma, when I want to generate images. However, I haven't had much time for AI-powered music programs. So, it has remained with a few attempts with Suno and a first song that I created with Udio. This weekend I finally had more time again.
On the spur of the moment, I got back to Udio yesterday and produced another song - or rather, let it help me produce one. But I didn't just play around to gain experience, I created a song as part of my involvement in the Upland Metaverse.
Udio is an easy-to-use tool that can achieve remarkable results with a few settings and some input. First, I came up with a text and wrote an initial version. Since I wanted to create an English text and my English is in need of improvement, I first optimized the text with Gemini.
I named the song "Follow me, follow you" and for good reason. There is currently an airdrop event taking place in Upland where Sparklet (ERC-20 tokens) can be earned. Airdrop missions have to be completed, which consist of liking, reposting and commenting on certain Upland posts (tweets) on X (Twitter). The points earned in this way, multiplied by a multiplier, can be redeemed for Sparklet at the end, which have a considerable value in Upland and can soon also be traded as a cryptocurrency. The multiplier in turn is based on the age of the X (Twitter) account and the number of followers. Since the multiplier increases in steps with the number of followers, it is important to increase the follower base.
Once I had the lyrics for the song (intro, verse, chorus, and outro) ready, it was time to record the individual parts. With Udio, you first have to create a part of the song, which can then be successively expanded. First I chose the music genre and after entering the first part I had the first part of the song generated. Uido delivers 2 versions each. If there is a version that you like, you can expand it. Gradually I added the desired song parts. Then I created a subject of a singer in Alpaca Croma, uploaded the song including the picture to Veed.io and published the generated music video with static picture on Youtube. After a total of just under 2 hours, my song was online as a video.
