Ask HN: How are these AI cover songs made?

3•afro88•2h ago
There's been a recent flurry of AI covers on Youtube and Instagram. For example: https://youtube.com/@fakemusicbr?si=G-RzKcm2iuXX56kI

Some of these songs are _really_ good. And pretty far ahead of where I thought audio AI was. Does anyone know what models and tools are used? I imagine once you have stems you can maybe style / genre transfer and use a reference audio file perhaps? Like image and video models.

Most of these no doubt are just websites, you can search for 'ai song generator'.

Where you can input your lyrics, styles, etc. You can create all original songs by having AI generate the lyrics even.

>Does anyone know what models and tools are used?

One of the best in my opinion: https://huggingface.co/tencent/SongGeneration

One of the most popular: https://huggingface.co/facebook/musicgen-medium

The "transformers" is just a python library and you just add all the parameters in a constructor:

processor( text=["80s pop track with bassy drums and synth", "90s rock song with loud guitars and heavy drums"], padding=True, return_tensors="pt", )

This one can run on like 16GB of vram and modern cards produce them trivially.

>I imagine once you have stems you can maybe style / genre transfer and use a reference audio file perhaps?

You can do audio to audio; but it's not as easy as just generating the whole thing from text.
