Other AI music platforms have better sound quality, but Udio excels at natural vocals and style adherence. The user requests that Udio maintain this strength, even if other aspects of the platform change.
Since Udio turned to the dark side of the force last year, I've been trying to find a replacement. I'm not happy about the new TOS, I'm not happy about what they did to loyal subscribers (no downloads, no warning etc) and I'm not happy with the direction they are aiming to go in. So since then I've tried the following platforms: Suno - Much improved sound quality, but vocals are generic and always sound autotuned, and no matter what style reference I put in, the chorus' seem to always go in a "pop" direction. Tunee - Was impressed with its intentions, though it had the same vocal flaws as Suno, sound quality was great. However, they have recently changed their service, restricting uploaded references or even terms (names of artists you want to model a style on for instance) and this has really limited its use. Similar issues with Producer.ai and a few other platforms. Whilst nearly every other platform has better sound quality imo, NONE are better for vocals or style adherence. NONE. I am still subscribing to Udio, I don't have plans to monetise so that's not an issue. I create the music I love, workaround a download, remaster it, and that's enough for me at present. I know I'll probably get some backlash or smart comments on subscribing, but take it from me, this model will DISAPPEAR soon, without warning just like last year, and we won't have a model of this type in the marketplace with natural vocals and great style adherence. Udio will be some Karaoke platform for UMG, so I intend to use it whilst it's available, or at least until another platform catches up. Thoughts?
