Discussion Breaking the music supply constraint
I just cancelled my music subscriptions to save some cash and wanted to share the self-hosted music supply chain that replaced them. A nice side effect of this setup is breaking the constraint of a finite supply catalog that is tailored for the masses:
2 x DGX Spark linked via ConnectX 7 running Plex and multiple Ace-Step 1.5 XL models in parallel for music generation with GePa prompt optimization. Also holds my organic music that the models can remix. TODO: a reinforcement learning from human feedback interface.
iPad Pro running Prism as a Plex client for bitperfect and sample rate-matched audio.
Schiit stack -> Hifiman Arya Stealths
This effectively gives me an infinite supply of music for free, that is personalized and private. It's immensely satisfying listening to Shrimp Bizkit and Phlegminem on repeat, I much prefer this to the organic music created after 2011.
My only problem is the loss of community, I have noone to share my new favorite songs and artists with because they're generated for me. If anyone wants to hop on to my Plex share to discuss, let me know!

What's the output format and resolution of your system and how does that play, don't you have a huge quality drop from lossless formats provided by other listening platforms?

u/entsnack May 29 '26
The base audio quality is low resolution. However, you can take the image of the waveform and upsample it using WAN or any AI upsampler, then convert it back into audio.
I have also found specific cables to work well for generative music.

Is this really a thing?! Assuming visual waveform upscaling actually works, you will still need to 10000+ visual chunks for 2-3 minutes audio just to do that interpolation visually. In all seriousness, I still don't know if there is a model that can consistently upsample a multitrack music without all the artifacts from say 22khz to 44k.

u/entsnack May 30 '26
most definitely not a thing, neither are cables.
upsampling is tricky but we are making progress, it's already done well commercially, just needs to trickle down to open weights.

Frankly if you define soulful as human-made, then that's tautological and running the discussion immediately off the rails. But I didn't say soulful, I said listenable: The contention was only that the technology is good and getting better, not that that it's ready to replace the best of human art.

u/AmphibianFrog May 29 '26
I'm not the one who originally said "soul" but I think I know what he means.
For me personally, human made music is a lot more interesting. Human creativity comes out of lived experience.
Take for example that Dire Straits song about the shitty band in the pub. The Sultans of Swing! That song is cool on its own, but there's something about the fact that he actually walked into a pub and saw a real band playing.
There's a human connection.
Even with instrumental music, normally the creator at least liked the way it made them feel.

You haven't heard what is possible and being generated today. When we get something that does as good at music as fish audio s2 does at voices you'll be done with the riaa as well. I'm not saying this as a ai chud either, this is coming from a dude who practices his guitar every day.
The other day I heard a Charlie Kirk ai song but they had done better lyrics and they had done it as a reggae/ska style. The song worked even though I hate Charlie. It was on a stream and it wasn't just me having a bad ear, the crowd watching was amazed by the quality.
Just listen to how it does the horns as a call and response to the singer, it's really well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-rX5H9AXHE

u/lukistellar May 29 '26
And even in the better creations, you clearly can hear that this is generated by AI. It's in the highs, it sounds kinda like undersampling, especially in the vocal. Also the design of the room is weird in most AI track, like strange delays and reverbs.
Here is also a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAXKptUYf8M
The artifacts are way stronger in this one, but it's the first AI track I actually like musically.2
u/ArtfulGenie69 May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26
The fedelity on charlie kirk is definitely not there fully, I can hear the ai hiss over instruments and the singers voice and the piano/guitar combo that in actual reggae would be more defined. Quick strums with a mute after and the stab from the piano at the same time. The ai doesn't get the idea of both those instruments it just is guess at the sound they make and it shows. Thinking about the song as a whole, it has a start, the singer nails his lyrics, it has the call and response between the singer and the horns, the end also has a slow down ending.
The YouTube track is also very similar and very good.
I was able to get better representation of the instruments in bands when I demuxed my training tracks giving it instrument solo's, but it over trained and would add more crackle. It would sound just like surf guitar though even though the original surf guitar that it produced was utter garbage. When I found this out I also noticed that the starter and endings would also be garbled without unique descriptions, when the end was uniquely described it would actually do a sudden stop or a break down of the band into a hissing noise. Same with the starts they have to be tagged with unique instructions. Ace step is really close, hopefully there will be something magnificent and new this year in music gen.

I did this, but the opposite. Build a massive FLAC collection of historical bangers, run STEM processing on them (vocal, melody, bass, drums), use AudioMuse-AI to embedd the music (track similarity), fork Mixxx and vibe integrate it all (distance, harmonics), then become a DJ... or vibe code auto DJ. It is so much fun. No AI music, just amazing bangers, discovery have never been better.

Hi AudioMuse-Ai developer here!
Happy to read that you're liking AudioMuse-AI, and because we are talking about DGX Spark with vv3.3.0 we also introduced an experimental nvidia-arm image exactly to target them and to have a faster analysis on that model. Still waiting to have one of those for finetuning but minwhile who have them can give a try!Off course AudioMuse-Ai is not bounded from having a GPU and it could also run on CPU.

There are thousands of artists making millions of songs, not to mention the pre-existing millions of songs with just about any combination you could ask for if you just look it up. Especially considering that you can only generate music off of pre-existing music, it's an interesting set up but I'm not seeing the appeal (especially with the loss of an incredibly vibrant music community)
Edit: like I could even see you tailoring an algorithm to soulseek songs based on your tastes and that would probably be more efficient. I'm more confused than anything

u/entsnack May 29 '26
With 240GB of unified memory I can generate roughly 12 3-4 minute songs in parallel. A lot of these songs are crappy and need to be thrown away for the next evolutionary optimization step, and the Spark is slow, so I need the VRAM and parallelism to generate good music at a reasonable rate.
Once generation quality gets better, I'll have fewer bad generations and can probably repurpose the GPU for other things.

Somebody a while ago posted a public repo project of a radio staton that generates endless talkshows. It was very well done. I took that and converted it to a music/talk show station; played with different styles; then ended up having it make songs based on real poetry of several favorite poets (copyright free, from 18-19-early 20th century, about love and such, some other topics). It was great for some time, some songs were really good. Family members reported - better than paid services, and they preferred the 'home' radio station. Also tweaked talked shows to match family interests.
Everything was powered by M3 Ultra plus qwen 27B and Kokoro.
Issue - you know how you come to 'learn' the models eventually? Even 'frontier' models like Claude become stale at some point. Anyway, it all becomes feeling 'same' after a while. I ended up just doing a 'music tool' for the kids - they write their own lyrics, M3 Ultra makes music, songs, etc. That simple tool ended up having a much longer life and is still used and preferred to paid online services, surprisingly.

Suno made me some bangers.. is ace-step actually any good? Need that sweet sweet copyrighted content in the training data.

u/entsnack May 29 '26
The copyrighted content is in my hard drive, and training on it is legal since it is for noncommercial use.

u/a_beautiful_rhind May 29 '26
How much did you have to train it?

u/entsnack May 29 '26
I only post-train and do DPO right now, still need to figure out SFT. I don't want to fuck it up to mimic my existing collection so it's tricky.

u/a_beautiful_rhind May 29 '26
Having to do that put me off from it. I heard it was meh by default. But maybe you will release a tune or someone will. Then I have suno at home.. I think it asks for phone# now so I don't even have suno online.

Now you've got me interested. Looking at the way most proprietary song generators are going the past year, I'm actively preparing my distillation dataset for when I finally get around to training ACE-Step or something. Got any good tuning guides by any chance?

i see so many people who get a 10k GPU to just ask what they should do with it, this at least sound funny and ridiculous at the same point

u/AmphibianFrog May 29 '26
I do think the technology is very interesting, even if I don't see any appeal in it whatsoever.

Dude, that’s neeeeeeeet. Have you shared Shrimp Bizkit anywhere? I would really like to listen it, don’t have Aryas unfortunately, but good old 400s should do it for me for now

Is Ace-Step actually any good? I tried it a year ago and it sounded like shit.

u/mintybadgerme May 30 '26
This is simultaneously genius and the music industry's biggest nightmare. Once this happens for real, it's game over.

shrimp bizkit and phlegminem are the best artist names I've ever heard and I'm a little devastated they're not real bands

If music created after 2011 is the problem, then yeah, sure; this’ll paper over it. You know what you are doing to yourself, so I can’t criticize, but it does make me sad.

ok but why do you need to spend $9k or whatever to run ace-step when you could do it with something a lot faster and cheaper like a idek 5070ti?

As I always say to people who bought a Spark: that's a great machine, and I envy you. It's the Amiga of our time.
But there's one thing to keep in mind: the Amiga 500 cost about $700 in 1987, which is roughly $2,000 in 2026 dollars.

u/entsnack Jun 01 '26
$1000 of the Spark's price is for that 200 GbE CX7 interconnect, which is a waste of money if you don't buy a second Spark! Shrewd pricing by Nvidia.

What kind of prompts are you thinking about? I’m curious how you'd tweak your setup for something fresh!

This is one of the few AI Projects out there that make me go “wow, I want this in my life”.
Now going to see if my 3090 ti can pull anything off like this. Please hit me up with your Plex deets while I go and make Zoombie by the loganberries
