My first experiments with MusicGen were a wild ride. Some tracks were beautiful, others... not so much.
The Process
I used MusicGen to create ambient soundscapes. The best results came from simple prompts and lots of trial and error.
Prompt Example
"Create a calm, ambient soundscape with gentle piano and soft synths."
Results
- Some tracks were hauntingly beautiful
- Others were just haunting
- The AI struggled with rhythm but excelled at atmosphere
"The most fun was listening to music I could never have composed myself."
