Making an Entire Song with Free A.I. Tools (No Human Input)

The speaker expresses their interest in artificial intelligence's role in music making, noting the ease with which AI tools have enabled inexperienced individuals to create music. They believe that AI cannot replace human emotions and storytelling in music, but the potential of AI in this field is fascinating. The main goal of the video is to experiment with AI's capabilities in composing, producing, and mastering a song with minimal human input, using free tools which will be shared in the description.

The speaker begins the project by introducing the tools they will use, starting with 'iva.ai', a website that will serve as the main composer and producer for the song. They will create a pop song about love in the chosen genre. The speaker also mentions using a song lyric generator for lyrics and 'Synthesizer V', an alternative to Vocaloid, for the vocal track. The final tool mentioned is BandLab, an online platform for combining music elements. The process starts with creating a backing track on iva.ai, customizing the song's parameters such as key signature, pacing, and instrumentation.

The speaker uses a song lyric generator to create random love song lyrics, aiming to see how AI can form a story without human input. They then return to iva.ai to check on the composition progress. Once the track is ready, they explore the MIDI map of the song and play the generated composition, noting its typical pop song structure. The speaker downloads the orchestrated MIDI file from iva.ai, which will be used in BandLab to recognize different instruments and create individual tracks.

After downloading the MIDI file, the speaker imports it into BandLab, where it generates different clips for various instruments. They then focus on extracting the melody's MIDI data to input into Synthesizer V, which will be used to add lyrics and create the vocal track. The speaker combines melody tracks into one and exports it as MIDI. They then import this into Synthesizer V, select a voice pack, and begin the process of fitting the lyrics into the melody, acknowledging the challenge of matching AI-generated lyrics to the melody.

The speaker completes the process of adding lyrics to the melody in Synthesizer V, despite the difficulty and the mismatch between the melody and lyrics. They export the singing track and import it back into BandLab, adjusting the volume to prevent clipping. The speaker then downloads the mixed track and uses BandLab's mastering service to finalize the song. They reflect on the experiment, noting that AI has come far but cannot replace human creativity in music production.

In conclusion, the speaker shares their takeaway from the experiment, emphasizing that AI, despite its advancements, is not capable of replacing human musicianship. They highlight the importance of human creativity and originality in the music-making process. The speaker invites viewers to try the tools themselves, as mentioned in the description, and expresses their personal learning experience and the challenges faced, particularly with using vocaloid software and dealing with uncontrollable elements. They wrap up by asking for viewer feedback and suggestions for future content.
