They\u2019re backed by a range of tech heavyweights, including a16z (a.k.a.

Each new user gets 1200 generations per month for the beta period of the product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Udio has a detailed auto lyric generation feature with the ability to customize tags like instruments, sound, and description of the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Udio-Dashboard-1024x618.jpeg\" alt=\"Udio Dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-3544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Udio-Dashboard-1024x618.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Udio-Dashboard-300x181.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Udio-Dashboard-768x463.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Udio-Dashboard-750x453.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/favtutor.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Udio-Dashboard.jpeg 1049w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Making tracks with Udio is easy. Just type a description of what you\u2019d like to create in the prompt box and click Create. For example, type &#8220;a jazz song about New York&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) If you\u2019re not sure what to type try clicking on the dice icon to populate the prompt box with a random example prompt. A typical prompt consists of a combination of free-form text and tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) Additionally, a prompt can have a reference to an artist style which makes it easier to describe music you\u2019d like to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) Once a track has been created, users can further edit their creations through the app&#8217;s &#8220;remix&#8221; feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company said it\u2019s a bit rough around the edges but users don\u2019t seem to have noted anything of the sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do Creators and AI Experts say about Udio?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creators have experimented with multiple different prompts and types of music with varying results. However, the general consensus is that the level of customization, the coherence of music generated, and the lyric quality are all impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rowan Cheung, the founder of Rundown AI called it the \u201cChatGPT for music\u201d and Min Choi, an AI educator on X referred to it as the Sora for music generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each user who tried it is full of praise for the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a few examples<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) This user generated background audio using the prompt \u201cunsettling atmospheric electronic music with carnival elements, liminal, darker synth\u201d that could be used as a score in horror\/thriller movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"> <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Guys, Udio is really good at generating somewhat unsettling tracks.
