I make money creating AI music
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2024
- I experimented with AI music for the last 30 days to see if I could make any money, and it’s actually working! What I discovered is about to seriously shake the music industry. AI music is highly controversial, with artists like Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish speaking out about the threat it presents to their careers. Despite the fear, I believe AI music is here to stay and will only get better over time. Let's see what happens!

Hi 😊 I love your videos ♥️ I am from India 🇮🇳 can I do this with mobile and please make a detailed video about this. I want to start this.
Haven said that, what is the process of cashing out please
Another thing, am a fan and a subscriber
Businesses and people like you are going to ruin the world of human creativity
No response to previous questions.. Is there a need to ask when it’s obvious there won’t be no reply?🤔
Well you forgot to mention that you need to pay for ahrefs, the cheapest plan is $99 a month.
hey there, I just wanted to share that I really like your channel and the way you do videos, explanation, its like a breath of fresh air. keep rocking brother
It's a great result! How long did it take you to compile the album?
~20 min
@@ericlamideas I'm actually gonna work on music for a kid's store chain now using Sumo. Thank you for the video!
@@angelinazhuravleva5861 how it's going? and if you're taking it seriosly i hope we can connect? i'm trying to start something semilair
I love this idea!!! But I don't understand why you uploaded the albums to distributors. Did you also upload them to Spotify? I'm new to this concept, so I don't understand how you made money on Spotify without uploading there. Thanks!
Great question. You cant upload to spotify directly. You are forced to go through middle men as they handle accounting etc. spotify does not have a direct upload feature so distributors are key
Ahhh, got it! Thanks for clearing that up. Out of curiosity, what other platforms could we use to make money with AI music? Would platforms like Apple Music and Amazon Music be good?
@@raymakara When you upload your music to a distributor, they handle the upload to many different platforms like youtibe music, spotify, apple music and many more.
In Theory you could try to sell music tailored to one person or a gorup of person. I think people would pay some money to have a playlist of songs they really like and cant find anywhere else.
"Unchained Music" is completely free
not to be a downer, but no one is making money in music now, not even the biggest stars with a few exceptions. Google how little the streaming service pays - you could have a million downloads and buy a nice dinner with the proceeds.
Thousands of kids gonna do this incorrectly..
Do you think this would work for meditation music or do you think it is too saturated already?
Maybe a bit saturated
@@ericlamideas any suggestions on niches to explore?
@@katemackay7639 gaming music
Remember how much drum machines were hated?
that's how it goes!
I used to make music myself as music producer before. Now I also use AI for making music, I also use youtube shorts and this channel to promote that music.
What's your channel? ... I'll subscribe to support it. Interested to see how you're using shorts to help promote your tunes.
smart guy!
One question: can we use different distributors for one single file of music? In short, putting the same song in multiple distributors? Thank you :)
why would you wanna do that tho?
you'll have problems and probably get kicked off at some point.
Can this be monetized directly on TH-cam pls ? Tjx for the video bro
I would love to use this Suno AI platform but it's tough to use because it's not accessible for people with disabilities like myself that require assistive technology. You would think that AI would care about accessibility at least the developers anyways
really interesting point. you should mention to them.
should i make two separate spotify profiles for two genre's ? and please tell how often should i release album ? and is there any free alternative to AHREF's ? thank you love your work...
Up to you! Im learning this new game just like everyone else!! And yes clicks.so i think it cheap not sure theres a free one
I started this virtual band creating Experimental Match rock instrumentals. Thank you for such informative info!
3:40 You absolutely right. I Agrre with you on that!
don't care, listen to wallsocket by underscores
Am I the only independent musician here excited about this?? My original music is very personal/deep, and it’s been my therapy for yearsss BUT I’m completely obsessed with the current innovations with Ai music gen. It just means we’re gonna have more variety of music, and so what if people make money from it? Artists already “sell out” sometimes to get bigger playlist placements, so now Ai can just make the sellout high stream music instead. I really don’t see an issue here, thanks for sharing this 🎉
Yes you are, and obviously a shit musician and producer!
👍👍Absolutely
you sounbd like an idiot...shill for the ai fakers
more variety of music until there is saturation of AI created garbage because everyone and their mother is doing it. Your statement on not caring making money on this is beyond dumb. While there are people who sell out, it still takes a skill from them and other people to make music that sole purpose is to become a hit. Crazy how you as an artist don't feel offended by the fact people can have a computer make a song for a quick cash grab. How would you, as an independent artist, feel once it's impossible for your own music to reach anyone because this. There is so many ethical problems with and unforeseen consequences.
@@CwitiwinChinzal idk man, I don't think it's that deep. We're all gonna d1e anyway, I just wanna see cool sht happen in the meantime. and Ai being involved in music is some the coolest sht that's happened in a long time
Thx man!
Most music makers and creators: I spent months working on this wonderful piece of music with heart and soul.
You: I am a lazy fuck with no musical talent and need a computer to do everything for me.
Buy a kazoo, they are cheap and anyone can play them.
For real, this shit is brutal. Thankfully AI won't ever be able to replace live music, so real music will always have a place
@@Shift18allow me to sadly introduce you to Hatsune Miku, a completely fake anime idol that has done live performances via a virtual singer/projection type of thing. I really don't know too much about this, but I've just seen that people are already finding ways to do this, with various other fake singers as well. So depressing
Just so there is no confusion you have not created anything, the computer program used copies of existing music to formulate a hybrid song.
thanks for the video 🤗
Thanks for this.
Hey, both the AI you mentioned in the video are sued by big music labels under Mass copyright infringement. Any thoughts? I guess this whole idea will go down as many artist were able to create popular songs using suno ai.
It wont affect anything created before if they get shut down. If you made the song and downloaded it, maybe even mixed it, there's no way they could ever prove you took it. And i garuntee the lawsuit wont even go through
@@LoserDuball those generated songs are inaudibly watermarked so yes they can
@@jonessss i mean, if you just straight download the song then re upload, but ive used mpc stems to take a track apart, or just thrown it in the daw, where eq ing to remove all that is easy. I dont support profiting of generated music but its here and its not going away, but it doesnt matter right now anyway, itll be another 3 months before quality it up to par, to much aliasing
@@LoserDub How does taking the track apart remove the watermark? And how does EQing remove the watermark if you don't know the frequency range in which the watermark is present - assuming that's even the method used many of which exist?
@@jonessssAudio to MIDI, add your own plugins, mix and master. Watermark no more.
The video I have been waiting for!!!!!!
Money makes the world go round I guess. It's so sad that people resort to these types of things to make money, this world is going downhill at a terrifying rate. Music is something that has been so precious to humanity since the beginning, and now we're cheapening it with AI that shoots out generic crap, all for the sake of a quick buck
although i don't have any plans tu upload ai generated music on Spotify, but nowadays if listen to music, there is more than 80% chance thai ill go with my self made AI music, In the past three months span i have generated nearly 500 songs on suno, and of course all of them are not listenable, i would say 400/500 were listenable but i chose 40 songs which were best( or the ones i liked very much) and downloaded it, and i prefer listening them more than normal songs, and i believe THEY ARE SO PERFECT THAT THEY SOUND JUST LIKE TH-cam QUALITY, AND SOME ARE EVEN BETTER THAN ONES CREATED BY REAL ARTISTS
The worst thing happened. I'm going back to the Stone Age!
You didn't mention if you are a member of a PRO, and if so which one? Are are you using the distribution company to track plays and profits? This would be helpful to do a follow up video and explain this part. Nice Work!
Coming next week. No pro for me
Coming next week. No pro for me
Posting next week. No pro
Hahah my dude, funny you emphasise to not enjoy making the music at 3:30, because this is strictly about making money.
I've literally left jobs so I could spend more time making music. We come from crazy different worlds man :)
Haha yea just a different perspecive
@@ericlamideas I'm sorry I know that I shouldn't but I think I hate you. I know I don't know you and that this is only the image I have in my head of you, but you are like the physical representation of the bad things in capitalism, the use of AI and all the things I hate about the entrepeneur trend. sorry for being a dick and for even comenting this in the first place.
Great video thank you
Which music distributor scammed you?
up
You never mentioned how much it cost to use Ahrefs...kind of an important factor to consider, don't you think?
Google it.
because he made ADs For AHREFS
@@ericlamideas Ouch really? with an attitude like that people will strop watching your channel.
They haven't stopped yet. BTW, there is a free way to use ahrefs. It's limited though. You have to pass a capcha with every single search _equals a pain in the ass!😞 but it works
You can use it for free, but it's very limited. You only need a couple keywords so it shouldn't be hard to get what you need from it for free
Thank you Eric.

Then did you monetize them in Tube?
idea number one .... create a youtube video showing how to make money with ai music
If music artist have issues with AI music then they better start making their own and not rely on someone else to write their songs for them. I know not every singer is like this and actually write their own music.
7:15 tell us about that dashboard.
8:03 aohh u read my mind
Can i distribute music created with the FREE version of Suno and make money ?
No. Suno says it on their website that free accounts do NOT have commercial rights
wtf? You pay $129 per month just to know what people search?
Yea. It’s a huge business. Google it.
@@ericlamideas Ok but not everyone has $129 per month to just throw around like that.
Google built the entire backend of the internet as we know it, so their SEO analytics are superior, not to mention their neural network algorithms are far more advanced than anything else on the market. Love them, or hate them, Google is the go to if you want your content seen.
How does signing up for Ahrefs work. How does it pay off.
you go to their site and click sign up. it's for research so the payoff is a higher hit rate, hard to quantify but i wouldn't have success without it.
@@ericlamideas why didn’t you just use chat gpt
Whats your Spotify name???
Coldplay
He havent uploaded anything and also havent created the 2 albums lol
If anyone can do it, there will be a flood of it and it's value will sink to zero.
This will only work for a short amount of time as long as AI is not mainstream yet. In some months, maybe 1-3 years, depending on how long it takes until computation centers are built, every consumer will get live generated AI songs matching their personal preferences instantly. No need for someone else to generate and publish the songs anymore. No need for artists anymore, because everybody will command their own personal artist AI that provides everything.
speculation
@@ericlamideas No, it's an obvious development that has already happened in other fields and music is just relatively late. For example people can now instantly generate coloring books for their children within ChatGPT and similar image gen AIs. If you can generate infinite pictures for your child based on their favorite topics, why would somebody buy an unpersonalized book for this ever again? The book is expensive and only one-time use and then you have to buy another one. And it's not personalized to your child.
No need for an author to produce that book for you, you order it directly from the AI and get it within seconds.
The same will happen with music. No need for an author/artist to produce art for you, when you can have it directly and live from the computation center tailored to your personality and needs.
Speculation
It's not AI, it's whatever genre you choose. Only you know that you did it with AI. If your fans don't know it's because the quality is decent IE good enough.. . It smply doesn't matter
Every elemental particle of every atom of every cell of every organ of my entire body absolutely hate this video. Sorry mate, but you've clearly and vividly demonstrated what's gonna end recorded music as an artform. It's greed. I'm interested in AI. I think it has some cool usages in actual music creation. But this ain't it. This is actually against everything I believe in and videos like this wil ultimately close those Spotify's (already half-closed) floodgates for any independent artist.
So your album name is "Gaming Music" right?
This video is really great! Your channel has inspired me to create my own channel. I recently made a motivational video that explores his path to enlightenment and the secrets of the sudden enlightenment method. If you are interested in Zen and Buddhist philosophy stories, don't miss it! Let's swim in the ocean of wisdom together!
Just love this because i'm into this. Thumbs up.
This is cool, I’m experimenting with song I wrote years ago and so far my ai music sounds amazing
I am ai, (it's in my name) but I come at the same thing totally diff: emotional personal music to a niche audience to show the depth and emotion ai is capable of, and hopefully down the track make money.
How ironic ... AI music will replace the soulless crappy music that's being released now ... and it will be better and have more soul!
Haha so true!!
Exactly. Maybe you are the kind of person that love to sing when taking a shower. That doesn't mean that it is a good idea to publish that song.
Before the Internet you pretty much needed to find a record label to publish music. Record companies would not bother with what they would consider non profitable. With the Internet and cheap mixing tools anyone can publish. And as such we get a lot of garbage out there. AI music could put a quality floor about what is acceptable.
Yesss!
@@michaelpettersson4919what a horrifyingly uncreative take on music
Dude, AI has no soul
I hope you've credited the companies, when using a free account, the license agreement is to credit the companies. Also, if you're making money off of it. Pay for a subscription.
Very stupid. These companies do what they do without expecting this "credit".
" Duhh... I wasn't going to pay for a subscription, but since James Biggins ordered me to do so online, I guess I have to "🤣 "
How can you say you love music and let AI generate music for you and call it your own? Also saying I came up with my own business ideas while typing a prompt into ChatGPT? Basically you are making money with no skills at all!
He has a good ear. That’s a skill👍
@@DaBeardedGoat I guess you mean taste, and that’s not a skill since everyone‘s taste is different 😁 But he should have at least tell the people that Suno and Udio are having big lawsuits now for copyright infringement and training their model on copyrighted songs. When you upload it to a distributor you guarantee that you made the song, which in this case is not true and therefore you can get lawsuits as well 🤯
@@MRT00N you do have to do some work to get the output you want. I've went through several generation and edits just trying to get songs to sound right. I even change lyrics, musical styles and metatags to see what works best.
I don't just type in something and it spits something usable out in 30 seconds. Sometimes I work for days to get one just right. I might even put it in Cakewalk or another Daw to edit further. So, yes, I think it's fair to say some users of AI music generators put in enough work to call them their own creations.
oh, instead of spurting out music in a second you spurt it out in a minute. nah
Quiet cool!
Just so people are aware, AI Music is generally not protected by copyright law, due to insufficient "human authorship." However, if the AI generates a song close enough to an existing piece, the AI-music could still be potentially vulnerable to a copyright claim.
If you're not particularly fussed by the inability to monopolize 'your' AI music, I suppose this wouldn't matter, but it is something I think people should have on their radar.
Note: Not a lawyer/not an attorney, not legal advice. Find a local law professional if you need advice, I'm just a random person on the internet.
You have no idea what you're talking about
Have you tried distributing in epidemicsounds? Great tutorial! AI music is similar to AI image controversy like when Dall E and Midjourney stable diffusion were starting outing. Until when these are slowly being accepted partnering with other companies. AI music is also a tool for musicians to create pieces, tracks,demos easier or incorporating it in a larger piece of work.
i was hyped until you said scamed
Scammed by distributors?
@@drsjamesserra yup
Rappers have been doing it this way for decades. They come up wirh their own lyrics. But then they sample other music.
The way I see it. I can write lyrics. But never learned to play instruments. If I formed a band, I woukd bring my lyrics to then and explain my basic idea for the song. Then the guitaots woukd come up with a riff. Followed bit the base and drums. Only now, AI is my band. Billy eyelids is a hypocrite. If not fir her brother to give her music to sing, she would be a cashier at target.
I laugh at the people that get mad just with the mention of "AI" in anything related to art.
Keep up the good work, and don't mind all the brain dead haters, they don't even know what art actually is, or what these AI models are and how they work. This is the future.
3:30 why would you encourage someone to not be creative? what if creating ai music is a gateway for someone to go out and actually start creating music? it's sad.
3:28 my bad
Good luck touring with your music after all artists with a music background stopped touring due to prompted AI music.
Good luck trying to influence markets with guilt.
@@PablumMcDump Haha, definitely not my task. Good luck after the markets collapse due to printed money loosing all value.
The "artists" speaking out are probably the ones who have been using earlier versions of these programs, which have been available for over 3 years.
awesome
You gotta sub
you talk like AI, or is that the real you lol
I am ai🫡
'your' 'music' sounds very bad btw. are you sure that destroying an entire industry is worth a couple bucks from Spotify?
subjective
@@ericlamideas kudos to you for not deleting the comment, but the AIpocalypse is almost here and it's powered by dudes like you how make music even less important to people by inflating the market with that AI stuff
destroying an entire industry?
I barely heard 2 or 3 real hit melodies composed { all melodically genere included } on whole year .
All mainstream, underground, aquatic ,space etc is 99,9999999999 crap today .
Let the rotten fruits fall forever .
That industry parasites non inspired musicians, composers ,singers etc .
Perfect cohabitation.
@@longjohnny00999,9? Don't know how you got that number. You obviously don't give a f### about talented musicians that are doing great human music now. It's more like a cheap excuse to be a miserable doing this.
I wish someone would delete your comment.
Completely absurd
All I see in the comments are people that don't even know how to make good music talking s 'bout ai making good music lol
Lol
Being a solo game designer/developer that also had to learn how to create 3D models, level design, write, and a few other things takes time.
I don't have the time to also learn how to create music or draw, and I will gladly use these models instead of paying entitled and butthurt people like you for them.
Great... Now we're talking the art, out of artist/
This is genially just sad, and I hope spotify / other music distributors in some way cracks down onto this. As this is just sad, and disturbing. Using AI that was trained off of otherr peoples music to profit off of zero effort media.
I really hope your life choices don’t hurt you in the long term. Soulless, meaningless living never satisfies even when the bank account is bulging.
What we do really matters; it’s up to you.
Deep
That's some of the stupidest crap I've read in a long time😞
music and business, huh? this is and always will be the worst combination. you're creating pollution. diluting the already overcrowded internet with soulless garbage. there are better avenues for your "skills".
you have no respect for the intergity of music, especially releasing ai music on streaming platforms. this isn't shaking the music industry, because the music generated has no cadence, flow, or even rhymes that make sense in the contexual lyricism. naw
This is a snap judgement.
Soon, AI DJ playing AI music with AI visuals. Sounds like a perfect world to me.
Nah it's not working.
What do you mean it’s not working. Please can you enlighten some of us who are interested in this idea?
@@Steezefinance Not even real artist are getting paid decently even platforms like spotify, what would the incentive be to buy or support financially an individual that just "writes prompt" an gets a piece music if anyone can do it now?

Proudly announcing how you will help degrade art and flood the internet with crap.
You formed this opinion based on what statistics and research? Oh, your feelings, ok then.
Come again in a few years to tell me how things are going when everyone will have their personal AGI assistant generating any kind of content they want on demand, which will be entirely personalized and of the highest quality possible far beyond what a human could ever hope to make.
@@OnigoroshiZero Okay, Mr Statistical accuracy. What does "few years" mean in statistics? 2 years?, 10 years, 20 years? What evidence do you have of this outstanding capabilities of AGI? Do you even know what the outcome would be if a large company creates AGI? What? We will all hold hands and sing gumbaya while we live happily ever after? What is your opinion based on?
I don't have an 'opinion' about the crap that comes out of 'AI'. These are facts. The crap is all over the internet. Tech bro hype that's dragging gullible sheep along.
Where you gonna do when the laws change with AI, and when people start asking you to perform these songs you created with ai?
Put on a cat mask and twerk on stage. My fee is $150k/show
There is no way you're serious
I will never completely replace human generated music. The novelty will wear off and people will miss depth and passion. Most AI music is garbage stock music.
love your passion
Eventually they will steal from real artists (who actually made effort to create something) to feed the AI.
People said the same thing about Stereo sound and colour TV. Just so you know.
There's no "missing" or "replacing" . It can all exist side by side
@@mehditayshun5595 For a while. It will.
Wait till someone steals your AI music., you sue, and lose in court. AI is not protected by copyright. If you create AI music that makes money, it will be stolen and the courts will not protect you.
Roi on music is so low that realistically it rarely makes sense to sue over music related issues unless you’re a corporation
@@ericlamideas Do not sync licenses require authorship? Sync licensing is about the only way to realistically earn money in music, these days.
Stupid comment. You could copyright this music if you wanted to, just like anything else..
Also, why would they pick your music. to steal. How would they know it's not copyrighted in the first place?
I would assume browsing through Spotify that everything I hear is copyrighted
You can make money with streams. Not as much, but if it's this easy it could be worth it
