If you're curious on how to spot AI music, there's one tell that you never hear in organic music.
Suno and Udio sometimes blend voices directly into instruments and instruments into each other when they pitch match against each other, and then the system corrects, slowly bleeding out again.
Eric Clapton experimented with sounds like this, especially in the 1980s, but nobody’s done it with this kind of precision until recently.
If you’ve ever heard me talk about impossible instruments like the harmonifiddle and similar, it’s the same general category of effect. Or when a vocal melts directly into a theremin or a twangy guitar with no separation.
Personally, I enjoy listening to it.
To me, it sounds like extravagant production values, slick splicing, and forward thinking rock or country. Or, er, it would, I guess, if you saw it regularly anywhere else.
But it does make fudging a "live" performance sound that much more challenging.
It's subtle enough that if you're not listening for it, you'll miss it. But if you are listening, you can't unhear it.
