1st - why no signup for your feedback program using Discord, like every other ai company on the planet? 2nd why don't you interact with users in Discord like is traditionally done by ai generation companies? Much easier for everyone!! 3rd - why doesn't your platform follow prompts? 4th - why are there no user guides on Discord? Try visiting Midjourney on Discord to see how it is done!!! 5th - why don't you learn from the trials, errors, and successes of graphic ai, and incorporate similar solutions for music ai? Anyone remotely familiar with graphic ai will already be used to using references and combinations... if I want a female character in graphic ai (Midjourney , Stable Diffusion, etc.) I can prompt, "A 25 year old Jennifer Aniston|Taylor Swift, with blonde hair, pink t-shirt, blue jeans, walking by the beach" I could further reference camera equipment, lighting, etc. and those real-life reference will help influence the final image. I can reference a painting style, an artist, etc. And it doesn't mean I want to copy those references exactly!! It just gives me and ai common ground - a point of reference - so ai knows the right direction to go. If I add blonde girl from Argentina, that will be different than Taylor Swift from the USA. These are just references, pointers from which to work. It is insanely stupid that your platform doesn't allow for references. Anyone with any experience knows that references make it a hell of lot easier to get a skinny white blonde girl, than prompting every last detail of what you want. Similarly, references would be incredibly helpful in song creation. The lead guitar from Metallica AS A REFERENCE, or the raspy voice similar to Halestorm would make it so much easier to point ai in the right direction. It doesn't mean I want to copy those traits, it means use those as a reference. A user on Discord advised, "If you don't get what you want the first time, try and try again" to which I responded, Well, that is certainly a financially beneficial business model for the company - hey our ai won't follow prompts like graphic ai does, and we can't really tell you how to get what you want, so just keep paying for credit after credit and you're bound to get something you like sooner or later, but we sure like that every time you try it costs you another credit. 😀 If I didn't have 11,000+ ai images under my belt, and was not familiar with how prompts should work, i would probably be more open minded about paying for this Udio beta program, but so far I am finding it difficult for them to justify billing users until they get the platform to work at least similar to ai graphics. I do see lots of chatter online about people complaining about how many times they must re-try to get Udio to produce something close to usable. Excuses like, music is newer than graphics ai, just don't resonate with an ai industry that is moving so fast, especially since the music side could easily have learned from the graphic history and be further along faster. But, yes, breathe, breathe, and if you get frustrated enough, the free market will provide a better solution... or you start your own company and do it better. So I get what you are saying. Doesn't make it right, but the thoughts are valuable. Thanks. Udio can do better. You should. These loose ends that you presently have are unconscionable. Leaving users with no user guides, and guides that aren't updated each week as users find solutions and as your staff provides support ON DISCORD, puts your company and all users at a huge disadvantage. Do better.
