Google has released a new AI music model for Flow Music. Lyria 3.5. Many YouTubers claim it is the best music AI model currently available. But is that really true? First, I will show you what Google Flow Music is capable of. After that, Lyria 3.5 will go head-to-head against Suno in four completely different musical styles. In the end, it’s not the number of features that counts, but the music. My name is Thomas Foster. I am a music producer, and in this video, you will learn everything you need to know about Google Flow Music and Lyria 3.5. Great to have you with us. Enjoy. I can spoil one thing right from the start. The audio quality that comes out of Google Flow is fantastic. And how well it handles complex prompts is incredible. For example, I prompted "make me an acapella," and I got an acapella. With Suno, I can make a song and then extract the acapella using the stems function, but here I can prompt "make me an acapella" directly, and I just get the vocals without any accompaniment. This is truly a new league we are playing in here. But let's look at it in practice. What I also really like is the voice function here. I press it, and from now on, I have to hold the P key, the letter P on my keyboard. And as soon as I press P, I can get started. Please make me a modern Latin pop track with a reggaeton groove, Spanish acoustic guitar, warm Latin percussion, modern pop elements, and a catchy chorus. A romantic duet between a man singing in German and a woman singing in Spanish. Summery, passionate, emotional, and absolutely radio-ready. Uh, the lyrics should be about a matador who is singing to this Spanish woman and fighting for her love and her heart. So, I let go of the P again because I’m done talking. Alright. I’ll get right to work having the ghostwriter pen a professional summer hit. After that, I’ll create the song. Well, wonderful. The response from Google came immediately in a friendly voice, so let’s see what it makes of it now. It took a little while, it wrote a text that it put here for us, and we also have two audio files. Let’s take a listen right away. The arena is silent tonight. I’ve only been thinking of you. Tomorrow I have to move on. But I cannot escape your love. My heart fights without a shield or game. My heart fights without a shield or game. A life without you weighs far too heavy. He hit exactly what I wanted incredibly well, even if I didn't necessarily want her to sing in German, which she's doing a bit now. But I actually like it quite a bit. Um, I would like to change one small thing, just to see how well we can influence it now. I like the first version extremely well. Now I would like it if, uh, there were no drums under her vocals in the first verse, so it remains very soft and melodic, and the beats only kick in when she starts singing. All right, I understand. I will now split the stems and remove the drums for the first verse so that the transition is softer and more melodic before the beats at the vocal section was, um he is going to split the stems. I find that very promising so far. So, we have a new file. Let's have a listen right away. The arena is silent tonight. I have only thought of you. Tomorrow I must move on. But I cannot escape your love. My heart fights without shield and spear weighs far too heavy. Actually done quite well. I mean, the drums are there, but they are playing very subtly . One could be critical now and say that wasn't quite what I wanted. But roughly speaking, it fits. I would say, I am amazed at how well that worked. So. Uh, very important too, what can we do with our audio files? Well, the most important things we find here under the three dots. If we go to download here, we can download various audio formats. The most common are probably MP3, uh, to send to someone quickly, or a WAV file to have the best possible quality. For example, if we upload it via a distributor to streaming platforms like , uh, Spotify, of course. Uh, and we can also have a small video created. Uh , so there are various ones here. Let's briefly make a small music video. Uh, now it asks me here what kind of video I want. Let's try a mobile format like 9:16 here? That is good for Instagram or similar. So, I was at lunch, uh, and it had plenty of time. That also cost quite a few credits. I think 1400 credits or so. Sure, a video like that costs more. But now we are especially excited about the result and let's take a look at it. Oh my God. The arena is silent today. I have only thought of you. Tomorrow I must move on. Yes, the lip-syncing is also. I cannot escape your love. My heart fights without shield or spear weighs much too heavy. But now something funny happens. Now she's singing, and the AI that made the video wasn't smart enough to understand that a woman should be visible now, instead of him continuing to move his lips. So, I can say this, it is by far the best one-click video I have generated. I really only said " make a video" once, didn't touch anything, and this came out. It has flaws, clearly. But I think the result is actually pretty awesome. So, naturally, I wanted to know, what is the sound quality, what is the musical quality of Google Music FX? And that's why I tested four genres. It was important to me that two are very traditional and two are totally modern. Uh, I wanted to have something instrumental included. I wanted to have something in German, something in English included. Uh, so that we can see as diversely as possible what Google Music FX can do and how it compares to Suno. Uh, and I always entered the exact same prompt in Suno and in Google Music FX, so that we can compare these two genres on equal footing. Genre number one: Melodic Techno. That’s the kind of music that plays in clubs in Ibiza. It always has these cinematic breaks, so lots of orchestra, film music, and then those hard techno-oriented beats. Let’s listen to it. Let’s start with Google Music FX Melodic Techno. And the same thing now from Suno Melodic Techno. Yes , exciting. Um, let’s move right on to something completely different. Something traditional. Uh, in German, I wanted an Argentine tech, uh, tango, techno tango, something a bit different . Argentine Tango. Uh, and for the lyrical content, I wrote: a music producer who leaves the studio after a long day, uh, wants to discover the most beautiful melodies of the day in that very moment. Just how my everyday life is. And we start with Google Music FX Argentine Tango in German. The cups are cooling down. The day is done. I grab my jacket, head into the night. Even there is a sound that softly resonates. A tone in the air that sounds like you. Something of yours, that doesn't fade. Okay, let's listen to the whole thing from Suno. The light on the console grows dim and small. The day lives and swells in my hair. I hear the cup against stone and count the mistakes layer by layer and clear. The city lies far away. I am alone in the room. Yes, something German again, by the way . Please write in the comments what you like better and, most importantly, why you like it better. So, which did you prefer for the melodic techno in the first example, Google Flow or Suno? And which do you prefer now with this tango ? And we now move on to the third example, modern trap hip-hop, in German . I’ve provided a little bit of input here again as well. A music producer's daily life, cables everywhere, cold coffee, countless projects, constant new ideas, late-night inspiration, and the feeling that the next big hit is just one melody away. Here is what Google Flow made of that. Head in the clouds, the others can just follow you. Bass in the speakers, the streets are my life, no one can touch me here. We’re getting the gold and we’re letting it burn. The king is here, the one they all know now. Bass in the speakers, the streets are mine, we’re taking the Modern trap hip-hop. Here is what Suno made of that. Right, then give me something catchy, because the next one is already waiting. Just one idea away, just one thought away. I live between chaos and the kick, just one more German trap hip-hop. Please write in the comments what you like better and why you like it better. We move on to the fourth and final example. Arabic music with English vocals. This is what Google Flow makes of it. Arabic music sounds like this with Suno. within. Yes, please let me know for example number 4 too, what you like better, the Arabic music from Google Flow or from Suno? And I would be very happy if you wrote your opinion in the comments before I tell you mine, so that you aren't influenced by me. But now I'll tell you what I think about it. So, I'm sitting here in a studio with great monitors, and yes, I think Google just sounds better in terms of sound quality . Not worlds apart, but noticeable. Musically, however, it looks a bit different. That's where I'm usually much more with Suno. So, the melodic techno that Google Flow made didn't even have a four-to-the-floor bass drum . That was, well, one thing is clear: melodic techno means four-to-the-floor, and that was far from it. Then we had this tango as the second example. Um, yes, Google Flow wasn't bad there. It sounded very authentic. It could actually be a slightly older recording. Uh, I just liked that better, it was produced more nicely. What Suno did was clearer. So, musically, I'm much more on board with Suno there, too. With modern German trap hip-hop, I notice that Suno is very commercial. So, one could say I like Suno better there as well. But many might also say, no, that's too commercial for me. In that case, I actually prefer what Google is doing. And, uh, the fourth example, the Arabic music. Yes, that sounded authentic with Google, too. In case of doubt, I musically prefer what Suno does. I also think the mix is cleaner. With Google, I sometimes get the impression it's a bit overloaded, a bit too full. The vocals sometimes struggle against the playback. It's not that I can't hear or understand them, but it just doesn't feel quite right. For mixing, I'd say, come on, let's create a bit more room in the arrangement for the vocals. Everything is a bit overloaded. Um, yeah, that's my impression. Nevertheless, I was very impressed by how Google MusicFX sometimes reacts better to prompts. I mean, when a prompt is very complex, it's really impressive how Google truly understands it and addresses all the points. Also, that you can simply say, make me an acapella. Awesome. That's not possible with Suno so far.
