I'm visiting my folks and can't really listen to horror sounds right now, but I enjoyed the descriptions of the fails!

I'm blocked from trying some of these in the Netherlands. I'm really hoping to find some decent "Beatbox psytrance" one day.

Wow, you made my day with your comments, 😂😂😂😂😂. I certainly do agree with you.since I listened you last battle things are really getting worst . Was just wondering why no one there is interested in doing something decent. I would however say that I almost liked the last stable diffusion one 😁. What about music generation AI, they do quite good stuff.

I found myself both nodding in agreement and bursting into laughter at your commentary. Bravo! What a great post.

The generative music space is going terribly. On an ACX thread someone told me that music is hard for the same reason video is hard. (Many frames Vs a single image) I think video is probably advancing more quickly because of the theory that video data could produce a “General World Model”.

The Bluegrass options are interesting. Bluegrass techno!!! These tools are definitely getting better. When you let a track play for a long time is there significant variation, or does the track repeat after a while? Say the Rainy Cafe Track for instance?

Great post! It's hysterical how far off the rails Stable Audio became. Poor chap.

I liked your test criteria, though I wonder how they would have responded with a specific artist as a prompt. Could you have tested them with something like "Michael Jackson" or "Metallica" or do these models have safeguards against mimicking artists?
