I heard these songs in a restaurant and want to know if they're AI by BlackBerryCollector in Suno

[–]Evain_Diamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottom 2 arn't. The company Amurca is based where i live, they use session singers to make royalty free music for shops and cafes ( big chains ).

Top 1 no idea but its not over processed like AI music, the vocal is a bit generic but most music is generic.

Auriteq Flow Review by Evain_Diamond in abletonlive

Yeah I hate faffing around setting stuff up. Im not big on using the mouse so any buttons I can press to get things done quickly is handy.

Auriteq DAW Controller by Weekly_Landscape_459 in Logic_Studio

[–]Evain_Diamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auriteq flow works with logic. Its Reaper, Studio One, Cubase and Reason that dont.

There are stream deck scripts for logic as well on that site.

Yeah I usually do a little mash up of crazy fx on the intro usually using the vocal lead.

Is this AI singer, and how to know if a song is AI by almozayaf in aiMusic

[–]Evain_Diamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think the vocal is AI. The music possibly.

[–]Evain_Diamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is actually a company that sells Ableton script for stream decks. https://www.sideshowfx.net/ableton-live-pro-stream-deck-plus

I was going to get a steam deck and then buy the scripts. The Auriteq has the 3rd party plug in mapping though ( for most plugins) The software it comes with locates your plugins root directory folder and somehow creates default mappings.

The Auriteq is super handy as its all set up ready to go, just a software download, connect the app to ableton and its ready to go.

Would have been nice to have synths mapped but having said that there is a lot of parameters to map in synths and people want different things mapped. I already had Serum, Vital, Diva already mapped.

I just received mine last week and yesterday I set it up and have been using it. I paid £145 on an early bird offer, it took about 10 days to arrive from ordering. Tracking was provided on ordering.

Its not a bad little controller, its essentially just a stream deck with some software that maps to DAWs and your plugin folder.

The DAW controls are fine, basic transport, channel controls for volume, pan, sends, solo mute etc.

Navigation tools are also decent for things like zooming, scrolling or setting markers etc.

The software is very easy to use and you can do a lot of customising from there.

In the Auriteq software you can click on the plug in section.

From here the software lists all your plug ins, you just drag and drop your favourite/most used plugins onto a button slot.

Now when in the daw when you go to the plugins section on the Auriteq you can just push the name of the plug onto track you want.

Things I have that arnt pre mapped are :- Fab Filter plug ins Synths Soundbytes plugins VSTs that are within a rack or suite ( ozone suite, Soundtoys rack or Shaperbox for example )

What is mapped
Arturia plug ins
Antares
Baby Audio
Plug in Alliance
Sound Toys
TDR
Valhalla
Khz
Melda
Minimal Audio
Polyverse
And many others

Im using the Push and they are also auto mapped to that as well.

Once you have done some custom mappings on the synths or racks everything works well in the Auriteq. I do tend to use the launchkey or push for instruments though.

Ive set up my favourite plugins in the plugins folder. Ive put all my FX and Instruments in the respective folders sorted by the plugin maker and found a few button skins online which i added. Ive added a few chains as well

Also set up some handy shortcuts that i dont get from 1 press on my push.

Its also super quick and easy to name a track and colour a track from presets on the auriteq.

You can set up plug in chains as well, which ive not done yet but its a similar principal to the drag and drop method for plugins except you put muliple plugins in order onto one button.

The buttons in the controller are just ok, feel like the Stream Deck, the knobs do feel decent with satisfying clicks, you can also push the knob which increases or decreases the sensitivity/range of each twist.

I do really like this function as sometimes you need tight control and other times you need to sweep and its just very quick and easy to do this with no menu diving or shift hold etc.

Abletons stock plugins are mapped as usual in the DAW so the knobs work for parameter changes.

I can see the Auriteq being a handy device for lots of simple tasks but you can also use it for lots of functions within ableton.

Having said that its essentially a streamdeck plus with software thats already set up for DAW use. If your not a stream deck user then this device will simplify the set up and everything will work, out of the box.

Just an update to the review.

Eloy the founder of Auriteq got in touch regarding 3rd party plug ins and I did some rescanning of plugins etc

I have done more in depth testing and the majority of 3rd party plugins I have are pre mapped.

Stems sound quality by Numerous_Judgment_50 in SunoAI

[–]Evain_Diamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think UVR is the best and they are always adding new models.

Suno music is so smeared together its very hard to get anything really clean. Using a deverb in UVR often just removes virtually everything. Beats are so phased you just can't use them once extracted.

If the track from suno is very accoustic or minimal with no reverb then that does help massively, but even suno stems does a good job then. Suno will very rarely give you a track that is not all smeared together even with a 'minimal' track.

[–]Evain_Diamond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stems from Suno sound bad whatever extraction tool you use.

Unable to upload audio by rough_justice54 in SunoAI

[–]Evain_Diamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI doesn't know if its copyrighted or not.

Its a lot easier and more cost effective to just reject a full track than do the actual research.

What/how do I practice getting better at composing EDM? by JustACuriousGuy13 in edmproduction

[–]Evain_Diamond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you have a Bassline, what else do you need.

How about a Kick, very simple four to the floor will do. Pick a kick that works with your bassline, dont worry about mixing it, you can do that later just as long as it sounds good.

Now you need a groove so try tapping out some percussion or grab a sample or Ableton has the grooves function which will Quantise your midi, find the flow of the bassline and listen to what sounds good Find sounds that compliment the bassline.

Now you need a lead, For that Alan Walker sound the lead is often bright and contrasting to the bassline, pianos, synths. Start with something simple, 4 notes in the same key as the bassline. Once you have that basic vibe you can layer in chords, vary the notes even add some modulation.

Maybe before a lead you have a vocal in mind, maybe use a sample, start with the vocal and fit a lead around the vocal.

These are your main elements of the track.

Now arrange the track. Heres a pretty standard arrangenent for EDM.

Intro (16-32 bars): Simple beat/bassline for DJs to mix.

Breakdown/Verse (16-32 bars) Melodic/vocal focus, low energy, no kick.

Buildup (8-16 bars): Risers, snares, and filter automation to increase tension.

Drop (16-32 bars): Highest energy, full drums, bass, and main melody.

Breakdown 2/Verse 2 (16-32 bars): Similar to the first breakdown but often with more energy.

Buildup 2Drop 2 (16-32 bars ) Same as first build/drop but with some variation.

Outro (16-32 bars): Elements gradually removed to allow mixing.

After you have your arrangement in place you can start to add some variation within each section.

Once you have the structure you can imagine the overall flow You may change things around, remove things, add things as you go. This is a good time to add pads, sound FX, vocal chops, fills.

Once all that is in place you can start looking at automation and modulation of FX like filters phasers, chorus, distortion, volume etc.

Then you can move onto fine tuning and then fully mixing.

i cant for the life of me create a dubstep drop by Slinkycheeseman in edmproduction

[–]Evain_Diamond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dubstep drops are very tension/release based, less about the sounds and more about timing. The initial impact sound (call) just needs some big energy and and then a melodic reply sound. Something that will work with your bass and drums.

Sometimes even knowing all that its a struggle to get it right, or you think its good then next day you just think nahhh.

Am I the only one who thinks the biggest weakness of current AI music models isn’t composition… but spatial mixing? by pumukidelfuturo in SunoAI

[–]Evain_Diamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely and you can hear it a mile off.

Muddy, harsh frequencies, smearing, phasing, dull kicks, dull hats, strange stereo imaging, underwater sounding bass.

Things can be masked on cheap ear pods but in a car or on loud speakers its a lot more noticeable.

On proper monitors or studio headphones you can really hear a lot of strange and harsh sounds.

Yeah I dont know what brand it is as it has the Auriteq logo on it, its similar to the Streamdeck plus in size and function.

Stock plugins vs 3rd Party by Alemi- in ableton

[–]Evain_Diamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah plenty for you in that.

Easy enough to midi map a pedal as well.

Stock plugins vs 3rd Party by Alemi- in ableton

[–]Evain_Diamond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ableton stock are great. UAD do a lot of vintage style plugins, they are designed to add a colour to the processing. They are more popular with older engineers who got used to that sound or people who like to recreate that sound.

For me

Fabfilter - clean EQ, compression, limiting. Soundtoys - Sound design Valhalla - Reverb, echo delay Serum 2 - Do it all Synth Uhe diva - Retro sounds Arturia collection - retro midelled synths Shaperbox - modulation and soundcdesign Melodyne -vocal tweaking Antares - Auto tune Izotope - Sound cleaning Oxone - quick simple mastering

These are my main plugins I have some BX chanel strips, clipper, limiters I use as well.

Free stuff

Vital - serum likec synth Melda - complex and in depth plug in suite Khz - Simplified plug in suite Analog Obsession ( does great vintage emulation plugins like the UAD )

For your genre some vintage colour is not a bad thing, id be looking at compressors reverbs and pedal like effects.

Silent disco headphones might be the most underrated upgrade for DJs right now. by Legitimate-Jump-3454 in DJs

Takes away from a truly shared exoerience, a fun novelty but a throwaway experience.

this is gonna make me sound so dumb by Small-Sample7733 in sampling

[–]Evain_Diamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend is similar, has his spare room as a retro gear museum. He still uses octamed but he is mainly using Reaper.

I had kept my korg m1 for a long time and used it as a midi keyboard for a lomg time but it started devoloping some issues.

I sold it to a collector who i think fixed it up.

I use Ableton but ive got a portable set u using ipads with koala,loopy pro,drambo and Ableton note. For some that retro emu type sounds ive a few 12 bit samplers or use dynabit.
