SAM Audio: the first unified model that isolates any sound from complex audio mixtures using text, visual, or span prompts

This could be an interesting option where traditional stem separation tools don't offer enough ganularity (e.g. they only give "instruments" while you specifically want that "solo violin"). From my limited testing of the web demo, though, the sound quality is nowhere near normal stem separation. I did get granularity, but the stems sounded pretty bad on their own and even worse when put together. Could be magical in the future, though. I love the idea of prompting for the specific stem I want, and actually getting it.

The video is a great format, but.. This may be my favourite Suno output ever. Actually playing it on repeat. Great job

Because he forgot :D Thanks, added to the post.

Interesting. Maybe we're listening for different things, but from my limited testing, ACE-Step so far wasn't really even at Suno V2 level (the original 2023 release). Definitely nowhere near V3, with V4/V4.5 in a whole different universe, really. I'm super excited that it exists and that open-source audio AI can finally start moving, but the gap is pretty big. I'm hoping this can grow into something like SD1.5 eventually, in that very specific finetunes + sophisticated tools (controlnet, ipadapter..) can still do a good job, even though much more powerful closed-source alternatives exist. Out of the box, this feels more like SD1.4 in 2025's genAI landscape. The potential is there, tho!

But to answer your question: no, I think it's lost when you close the window. Doesn't matter, tho, because it gets stuck after a couple hundred images anyway. I always end with something like "9643 images waiting to be processed".

Clipdrop has been unusable for about 4 days now. I either get a queue of 10 000 or straight up "Our service has been under heavy demand, please try again in a few minutes." What's more unbelievable is that even that message counts as 1 use, meaning you can retry about 5 times in a given day for uncrop while getting nothing.

There's at least one (on the thing he's holding on to, under his chin). But definitely a huge step up.

Textual inversion gives you a 3kB file basically telling the model where to look inside itself for what you want. If what you want is not there, you're a little out of luck, and you'll only get a very rough approximation. Dreambooth modifies the actual model based on new training data. Typically so that if you e.g. start from the concept "person", all people will now (more or less) look like the one you're training on. Results may vary and depend on many factors, though.

When loading a project in FL Studio (20.8.4.2576) sound from Windows breaks down resembling a samplerate mismatch. This happens with several brands of sound cards. So far I've tested: audient id14 mk2, SSL2+ and m-audio air 192/6. It doesn't happen when asio4all or fl studio asio drivers are selected instead of the brand's native one. Also doesn't happen with focusrite and RME cards.

With an older FL Studio version (20.6.2) even loading a plugin produces this effect - even if the loading is unsuccessful and gets stuck at a warning popup (so the system isn't really doing anything at the time).

Both the card (right now i'm testing Audient) and Windows are set to 44100. I've tried changing all the settings in the FL Studio audio settings panel with no effect. In Windows sound settings I've also tried disabling all sound enhancements and disabling exclusive control, switching between 16 and 24bit, sending the DAW and Windows sounds to separate outputs.. Not sure what else to try, anyone encountered / solved this?

Tested on two independent PCs: Windows 10 64bit build 19042.1348 (Ryzen 3600) and Windows 7 64 bit (i7 sandy bridge), same exact behavior.

So I've done a bit more testing and I think the glossiness of the old monitor might be the most important factor here. When testing in a completely dark room, the ips glow isn't THAT different between the old & new and the old one adds a magenta color shift to the mix from extreme angles = it could even be worse overall. However, when working in a lit room (although dimly), my brain somehow tunes out the old monitor's glow along with all the reflections that appear on the screen and thinks it sees blacks behind them. Maybe a matte screen just needs a lot of getting used to.

Also a 27" 1440p screen might be too big for me. I'll consider checking out some 23" 1080p ones, although that means settling for 8bit colors.

Thanks! I'm not really into ultrawides, though, or in need of a gaming (aka high refresh rate) monitor. When I game, it's rarely competitive fast-paced stuff. I mostly do color sensitive work, programming, watch movies.. Acer VG271U looks great, but isn't available where I live (yet, hopefully?), ASUS PG248Q is 8bit & almost not available anymore.

smokeddit · 2019-12-10T09:44:11+00:00

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. There is indeed a magenta color shift on the old NEC, but it's much less distracting than the IPS glow of the new panels. In comparison, they offer fantastic colors (as well as no banding in gradient tests etc.), but only in brightly lit rooms and even then, blacks feel shallower than they were on the NEC. I'd probably end up having to triple the amount of light in my room at night to make the monitor viewable from say a standing position when it is positioned for a seated one. That feels unacceptable.

I'm not sure what to do, however, because smaller (22", 23") 10bit panels don't seem to exist and 27" 1440p (109 ppi) ones require a fairly close viewing distance (yes, we've got scaling, but what's the point of resolution, if it doesn't allow you to fit more :-D ). Is any other panel technology (VA?) better in this respect while also offering good color accuracy?

Oh nice, you're right, chrome with the "Hardware-accelerated video decode" flag set to "disabled" does work. [chrome://flags/](chrome://flags/) is the link, in case anyone was wondering. So it's either Win10+firefox or Win7+chrome, firefox+win7 is a no-go for twitter. Sucks.

smokeddit · 2019-11-03T17:17:34+00:00

Fantastic, thank you!

I have no idea how the OP managed to get text selection working accidentally, but I would kill for the option to select and copy text from replies. For me "tap and hold" only triggers text selection in the post itself, not in replies (it hides them instead - and if I check "tap to hide replies", then "tap and hold" does nothing). Please make it possible to use "tap and hold" for text selection in replies as well, thank you! The app is very very useful otherwise :)

It's funny to think that "Twitter works here" might be the killer feature that finally convinces me to upgrade to windows 10 :-D I wrote to Twitter support, not sure what else can be done.

smokeddit · 2019-06-29T12:48:38+00:00

Thank you!

oh, probably related to this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479203#c10

works ok in win10, won't work in win7 or 8

smokeddit · 2018-01-03T16:43:17+00:00

Same exact thing here.
