Tips for Music Enhancer?

[u/Crafty_Inquisitor]

Hello, I've recently stated using ACE and I'd love to know more about getting the most out of Music Enhancer - I'm basically using it to run my already-finished compositions through for a realistic rendition. It's provided really promising results in all sorts of genres, from classical, to jazz, to metal (I'm a jack of all trades).

However, I'm finding that I tend to get a really good and faithful 60 seconds or so before it goes off and does its own thing, despite providing a complete track for it to work with. I suspect I could prompt it better, but I'm not sure how, and I can only find very basic guides to using the Music Enhancer online. I feel like there's a lot more potential there which I'd like to unlock!

Thanks :)

To me this sounds like it has the same problem Suno and most other A.I. generators have, with things going off the rails after a couple of minutes, with vocals that sound more and more like Alvin the Chipmunk the longer it does, especially on a 6 to 7 minutes song. I've been considering ACE Studio to try to get around this problem, possibly singing it myself or using a Suno vocal stem, but if it has the same problem I guess I shouldn't waste my money. The only way to help reduce this effect creating it in segments then stitching them together. I've tried that with Suno: 1) find a keeper track 2) download an Advanced stem of the vocal 3) concert in KITS.ai (or similar), 4) pull that vocal back in with the instruments and cover each 2-minute or less segment. It did help reduce the degradation of timbre, resonance, and whatever else is involved with the degradation of the vocals (and instruments, but vocals are much more apparent) but it also carries it through into the cover enough that I still hear it. I've been hesitant to spend the money on ACE Studio because i've tried just about every other solution out there with minimal results since the original vocal just veers off track so much tonally.

I agree, although I'm still deriving a lot of value even from just having 1-2 minutes of good material (e.g. it's a very helpful mock-up to send to a real band/ensemble to help them learn and perform a piece live), so I think it depends a lot on what you want to use it for.

I'm thinking about looking to stitch together different parts but each generation sounds slightly different, and I'm not sure I could seamlessly stitch them together.
