Where a musical sketch is needed

MusicGen generates a sound snippet by text description. With Melody options, you can add a musical landmark, for example, your own simple melody. The AudioCraft documentation for these two modes presents different challenges. Before you start, decide what is more important for the draft, the predetermined nature of the sound or the recognizable contour of your motif. The model does not have tracks that can be separately edited as a bass or percussion part.

Screensaver for training video

For a short video about working with wood, try to describe a quiet accompaniment with soft keys and rare percussion beats. Save a few options and listen to them under the direction of the video, where the voice sounds. If the accompaniment occupies the same frequencies as speech, change the option or process the sound in the editor. For the melodic mode, you can record your own motif and compare what features are still heard.

Check out the last beat. In cyclic repetition, the transition gives itself out if a new accent suddenly appears at the junction or a long note breaks off.

Code and weights have different conditions

Meta separately indicates the code license and the weights license. For a learning local sample, check the AudioCraft installation and available memory, and before release, check the allowed ways to use specific weights. Selecting a fragment for a commercial video only because the code is publicly available is risky. Evaluation of the result is better done in the assembly sequence, where you can hear the ratio of voice, music and other sounds.

Suitable tasks

• Get a musical sketch for editing
• Evaluate the support with your own motive
