#32This is incredibly good compared to SOTA music models (MusicGen, MusicLM). It looks like there's also a product page where you can subscribe to use it, similar to Midjourney: https://www.stableaudio.com/ Sadly it's not open-weight and it doesn't look like there's an API (again like Midjourney): you subscribe monthly to generate audio in their UI, rather than having something developers can integrate or wrap.
I was hoping to use it to generate some sound effects to use in a game I'm working on - but looks like I need an "enterprise license" (https://www.stableaudio.com/pricing)
Why does this have a different clause I wonder, and doesn't just fall under "In commercial products below 100,000 MAU"?

I know right, what year is this?
I do. It's year of the Google (c), like every year. (David Foster Wallace was wrong, there's no way a company of Google's caliber would settle for anything less than a whole decade.)
Is it? To me it feels like Google is about where Microsoft was in 2002.
Case in point: This thread about using anything other than Chrome…

#35Interestingly, Ed Newton-Rex, the person hired to build Stable Audio, quit shortly after it was released due to concerns around copyright and the training data being used.
He’s since founded https://www.fairlytrained.org/

#36I think we still need the step where the AI learns what a high quality sound library sounds like and then applies the previously learned abilities by triggering sounds of that library via MIDI. That way you'd get perfect audio quality with the creativity of a musical AI.
How would MIDI get you eg a guitar being played dirty? Or some subtle echo that comes from recording in a bathroom?

#38I was briefly excited about the idea of generating sound effects, but those "footsteps" are incredibly bad.
I tried generating music on stableaudio.com and, yes, it's bad. However, given the blistering pace of developing in these models, I would not be surprised if these sound incredible in a year or two.

That’s an interesting take. But quite the odd stance since he joined Stability and the training of Stable Diffusion was well known.

the AI designs and controls the effects chain and mastering too
