How was this allowed to be released?
I have blown about 1000 credits today, trying out remastering, extending, and new creations. After reading that we need to rate songs to train the model, I went back through everything I had generated on V4 and evaluated for quality. Results:
- Every. Single. Song. regardless of origin contained a laser fight at an arcade casino echo chamber
- The vocal clarity is improved somewhat. This is the only positive thing I have to say.
- While the clarity has improved the emotive quality has turned robotic. I have a lot of emotionally charged lyrics, and 3.5 did a great job expressing them. Every single one lost expression when remastered.
- Instruments sound like there is a pillow over the speaker. Everything is muffled, all of the oomph and bite seems to have been trimmed to leave a very flat karaoke track (maybe that's why it has a Japanese accent when it doesn't have the lyrics to a remaster?)
- My rock tracks were by far the worst off, some just being an echoey nightmare. I had some acoustic tracks that only had the echo in the vocals. Hip-hop also didn't fare as poorly.
- The echo seems to dominantly come off of percussion (hi-hat, kick-drum (this echo is different), and high notes in vocals and guitars from what I have observed,
So, I am seriously wondering, how on earth could this have been launched? They would have to know people wouldn't be happy with this. It's not just the echo, the overall quality is a massive decrease. Remasters of catchy tracks sound like muzak versions. Did something change with the model from the testing to now, and if so how and why?
I love Suno, I love writing lyrics, I love making music. I was incredibly excited for this to release, checking multiple times a day. Now I am incredibly disappointed, and down 1000 credits.
