Rated by listeners
How does Artificial Analysis evaluate music?
Artificial Analysis asks evaluators to compare music generated from the same prompt and choose their preferred track without knowing the models’ identities. Elo scores are calculated from these blind preferences.
The rankings reflect which songs listeners preferred. Try ACE Music v1 with your own ideas and lyrics to hear what it can do.
Start with an idea
Generate songs from text descriptions.
Describe the style, mood and instruments you have in mind, and ACE Music v1 will turn that description into a song. For example, try “warm indie folk with acoustic guitar and a touch of nostalgia”.
Start with lyrics
Create songs with your own lyrics.
Bring your lyrics and describe the musical style and atmosphere you want. You can also add performance directions in parentheses at specific points: “hum softly”, “sing with a raspy voice” or “add guitar here”. ACE Music v1 uses these cues to shape its performance, giving you control over not just what is sung, but how the vocals and arrangement develop.
Example input
(Hum softly)
The evening breeze, the city lights
(Sing with a raspy voice, add guitar)
I sing the words I kept inside
Add directions before a verse, chorus or individual line to guide how it is performed.
