Ethical AI Music Production with Udio and Kits.ai
Science & Technology
Introduction
Today, we delve into the exciting world of AI music production using Udio and Kits.ai. By seamlessly integrating these two platforms, we can create original music, modify vocals, and add harmonies—offering a simple yet effective workflow to utilize music generators as sources of creative inspiration.
Introduction
Welcome back to our channel, where we explore the creative applications of AI. In this article, we will examine the updates in Kits.ai's new desktop app and its functionality, demonstrating how to create an original song in Udio and transform it using Kits.ai.
Updates on Kits.ai
Kits.ai has made significant changes to their platform, most notably the release of a new desktop application. This app now allows users to access functionalities without the need for a browser. Although some tools are still pending inclusion in the desktop version, these features will be invaluable for converting voices into various AI-generated voices— including ones created by yourself.
For those unfamiliar with Kits.ai, this versatile tool serves primarily as a voice conversion platform. With an ethical approach to sourcing voices, Kits provides over 35 AI voices depending on your membership level. You can utilize these voices for AI covers or to enhance your personal projects.
One exciting feature is the ability to train your own voice model using clear, uncompromised audio samples, which is crucial for high-quality results. Ideal samples consist solely of dry vocals, free from effects or background music, allowing for maximum flexibility in post-production.
Creating with Udio
We will begin our creative journey by crafting an original song in Udio. Upon entering the creative interface, we can set a specific genre— for this example, a "honky tonk Barrel House" style. Subsequently, I wrote playful, personalized lyrics about my vocal orange cat, resulting in an original audio file.
Upon generating the music, we can extend our composition using Udio's built-in features, automatically creating a new outro that builds upon the initial theme.
Transforming with Kits.ai
Once we have the audio file ready, we can download and extract both vocal and instrumental components. After this, we will switch to Kits.ai to enhance our project further.
First, we can replace the original vocals with a female voice model. After selecting a suitable model, we drag the separated vocal track into Kits, where it converts the audio into a new female rendition, maintaining the pitch integrity required for a smooth collaboration.
We can continue to layer our project using various voices and even blend different voice models to create something uniquely engaging. While exploring different characteristics of available AI-generated voices, we can manipulate pitch and audio effects in post-processing.
Adding Harmony and Final Touches
As we build on the original track, we can introduce harmonies by converting additional vocal lines through Kits.ai. This creative approach allows us to enhance the texture of our music, providing greater depth.
By experimenting with stereo placement, effects, and careful mixing, we can create a rich soundscape that highlights the strengths of both the AI tools and our creative instincts. This seamless collaboration between human creativity and AI technology fosters an innovative music environment.
Conclusion
AI musicianship shouldn’t be perceived as a threat to live musicians but rather as an opportunity for innovation and inspiration. Using tools like Udio and Kits.ai, we can enhance our creative processes, filling in gaps and pushing our artistic boundaries without the intention of generating fully polished commercial content.
I hope this exploration inspires you to engage with AI music production tools in meaningful and ethical ways.
