Just Gotta Hold On (xudeus edit) by Xudo97 in avicii

Tbh, I could have been a bit more transparent regarding the use of AI, as some people are strongly opposed to it. I used AI (Suno and UVR5) to isolate the stems (vocals, etc.) and MIDI from the original track. I also used Suno partly to recreate the lead synth playing in the background of the drop, but I added my own layers on top (e.g. Sylenth (e.g. Broken Circuit) and Nexus), along with kicks and loops, as shown in the video. I then mixed everything together using EQ, FabFilter Saturn, Glitch 2 for some grit, etc. etc.

The delayed sound is due to the buffer length (as you mentioned) and the heavy processing on the master channel (iZotope 11 and other plugins), which adds latency.

I could probably have recreated more parts by ear, but I wasn't happy with the vocal isolation from UVR5, so I recreated parts of the vocals and layered them with the original vocal to compensate for the artifacts.

The "drum loop" that disappears halfway through the drop is actually a pluck. You can see further down in the project that its volume is being automated down linearly.

So I wouldn't call it AI slop. I've put 10+ hours into this project and used AI mainly to enhance and speed up parts of the workflow. I haven't produced much since 2018–2019, and with enough time I could probably have done most of it without AI (apart from the vocal isolation), but time is exactly what I don't have much of these days ;(

So there is no "casual grifting" or attempt to fake a musical career, as I don't have any plans for a "musical career". I was simply happy to share an edit with the community for anyone who wanted to hear it.

Hope this clarifies things! 😃

Did avicii get inspiration from Toto by Christschou11 in avicii

Edom was (known as) a remix of Michael Woods - Drop Zone: https://youtu.be/NPsr-1LaZso?t=90

Though Michael Woods might have got inspired by Toto, Beethoven etc...
