If you've swiped through your feed in the last few days, then it's likely that you've come across one or two chats that are no longer read out by an AI voice, as is often the case. Instead, these chats are now converted into songs.

Have you already asked yourself why that is?

The answer: Udio. A new AI tool that allows you to create your own song excerpts in just a few seconds and even entire songs in just a few minutes.

Could there be one more exciting AI tool? Here you will find it:

Udio: It's so easy to generate your own songs

That's how it's done: Udio is available free of charge in your browser and only requires registration, for example with a Google account. Then you can get started.

Music genre: If you now want to create your own songs, click on the top line and enter a prompt that describes the mood and/or genre of your song. Genres are also suggested below.

Please note that Udio is still a beta. So your expectations will not always be met. Nevertheless, really good or (depending on the lyrics) funny songs can come out of it.

Lyrics: You can see the lyrics section under the genre suggestions. Here you can choose between three modes:

  • Custom: Tick here to insert your own text.
  • Instrumental: If you check this box, your song will have no lyrics
  • Auto generated: If you want the tool to write lyrics for you, then check this option. Udio then creates lyrics that should fit your song.

Tip: With keywords in square brackets, such as »[Gitarrensolo]«, »[Drop]” or “[Breakdown]« you can also give musical instructions in the lyrics.

Your song is ready: Now all you have to do is click on “Generate” and after a few seconds you will have created your own short song. If you like it, you can expand it to include additional parts using the “Extend” button.

The result: This reel demonstrates quite well what that can sound like in the end:

Copyright: Unfortunately, Udio does not provide any information on its website about how and with what data the AI ​​is trained. We asked the company for information about how the training data was collected, but did not receive a response by the time the article was published.

If you only use Udio for private recordings, you shouldn't have anything to worry about – then you can rely on the right to private use. However, you should exercise caution when sharing your work publicly. Any copyright infringements can lead to warnings in the future and thus to high costs for you, as the consumer portal Baden-Württemberg explains.
