MusicLDM

MusicLDM was proposed in MusicLDM: Enhancing Novelty in Text-to-Music Generation Using Beat-Synchronous Mixup Strategies by Ke Chen, Yusong Wu, Haohe Liu, Marianna Nezhurina, Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick, Shlomo Dubnov. MusicLDM takes a text prompt as input and predicts the corresponding music sample.

Inspired by Stable Diffusion and AudioLDM, MusicLDM is a text-to-music latent diffusion model (LDM) that learns continuous audio representations from CLAP latents.

MusicLDM is trained on a corpus of 466 hours of music data. Beat-synchronous data augmentation strategies are applied to the music samples, both in the time domain and in the latent space. Using beat-synchronous data augmentation strategies encourages the model to interpolate between the training samples, but stay within the domain of the training data. The result is generated music that is more diverse while staying faithful to the corresponding style.

The abstract of the paper is the following:

In this paper, we present MusicLDM, a state-of-the-art text-to-music model that adapts Stable Diffusion and AudioLDM architectures to the music domain. We achieve this by retraining the contrastive language-audio pretraining model (CLAP) and the Hifi-GAN vocoder, as components of MusicLDM, on a collection of music data samples. Then, we leverage a beat tracking model and propose two different mixup strategies for data augmentation: beat-synchronous audio mixup and beat-synchronous latent mixup, to encourage the model to generate music more diverse while still staying faithful to the corresponding style.

Tips

When constructing a prompt, keep in mind:

Descriptive prompt inputs work best; use adjectives to describe the sound (for example, "high quality" or "clear") and make the prompt context specific where possible (e.g. "melodic techno with a fast beat and synths" works better than "techno").
Using a negative prompt can significantly improve the quality of the generated audio. Try using a negative prompt of "low quality, average quality".

During inference:

The quality of the generated audio sample can be controlled by the num_inference_steps argument; higher steps give higher quality audio at the expense of slower inference.
Multiple waveforms can be generated in one go: set num_waveforms_per_prompt to a value greater than 1 to enable. Automatic scoring will be performed between the generated waveforms and prompt text, and the audios ranked from best to worst accordingly.
The length of the generated audio sample can be controlled by varying the audio_length_in_s argument.

Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.
