Meta Releases AudioCraft AI Tool To Create Music From Text 25
Meta on Wednesday introduced its open-source AI tool called AudioCraft that will help users to create music and audio based on text prompts. Reuters reports: The AI tool is bundled with three models, AudioGen, EnCodec and MusicGen, and works for music, sound, compression and generation, Meta said. MusicGen is trained using company-owned and specifically licensed music, it added. From Meta's press release: The AudioCraft family of models are capable of producing high-quality audio with long-term consistency, and they're easy to use. With AudioCraft, we simplify the overall design of generative models for audio compared to prior work in the field -- giving people the full recipe to play with the existing models that Meta has been developing over the past several years while also empowering them to push the limits and develop their own models.
AudioCraft works for music, sound, compression, and generation -- all in the same place. Because it's easy to build on and reuse, people who want to build better sound generators, compression algorithms, or music generators can do it all in the same code base and build on top of what others have done. Having a solid open source foundation will foster innovation and complement the way we produce and listen to audio and music in the future. With even more controls, we think MusicGen can turn into a new type of instrument -- just like synthesizers when they first appeared.

...except for the most broadest of requests. I gave it this request, and got nothing close to what I wanted:
a guitar solo in the style of yngwie malmsteen in e minor, starting with pedal tone on the low e string the ascending the scale followed by arpeggios modulating 3 times from B major to e minor and ending in a trill. the guitar tone will be a fender stratocaster using the middle pickup going into a marshall jcm800 amplifier with all knobs set on 10

I've had plenty of terrible charts thrown my way, if there's time for talk through and mark up, I can get it way closer. If not, well, then it's time for the old ear to theory pipeline.

I expect we will see lots of lawsuits over "sounds too similar to" claims, with the accuser demanding to know exactly what prompt the defendant entered.

I asked it to make inspiring music from Germany in the 40s where smiling men march with decorative sleeves.
It made some obscure 90s elevator music. I'd say it wasn't what I expected.

I told the bot to synthesize for me a new 'Purple Rain' in the style of Prince, and it responded 'hire an airplane with a pimpy-looking pilot to drop iodine in the sky'.
