AI Company Udio Uncovers New Tool To Clone ‘Sonic Identity’ of Existing Songs

The new tool, called Udio Style, effectively allows users to create a song that emulates the “sonic identity” of existing tracks. By using this tool, individuals can upload audio samples to generate new compositions that replicate the track’s instrumentation, tone, and feel.

As Udio emphasized in its statement, the tool will be available only for uploads of music that users own or manage to protect artists and rights holders. Moreover, it is primarily designed for individual artists and commercial creators who need to maintain consistency across their creations. The feature is suitable for advertising, background music, film scoring, and podcasting, where “consistency in sound is essential.”

For now, it seems that artists are quite intrigued by the new feature. “Udio’s new Styles feature makes that process incredibly intuitive—you can feed it your own musical ideas and instantly hear how they take shape across a range of genres. It’s not just inspiring—it opens your mind to new possibilities and helps you evolve as an artist,” said Jordan Rudess, a GRAMMY Award-winning composer and keyboardist.

In addition to the Styles tool, Udio is releasing v1.5 Allegro, an update to its existing AI model that the company claims can generate “up to 30% faster output with no loss in quality or consistency.”

“These releases underscore our belief that AI tools should enhance artistic expression. With Styles, we’re helping creators explore and extend their own musical identity. And with v1.5 Allegro, we’re ensuring they can do that faster, without compromising quality,” said Andrew Sanchez, co-founder of Udio, in a statement.

As outlined previously, Udio is engaged in new developments while also managing an ongoing lawsuit filed against the company and its competitor Suno by major recording companies, including UMG, Sony Entertainment, and Warner Music. The record labels allege that the AI music companies have trained their AI models on copyrighted music without permission or compensation. Additionally, Suno is facing a lawsuit from GEMA regarding alleged copyright infringement.
