A tutorial monograph on generative models for music audio covers a wide range of applications—from instrumental clips and full songs with vocals to edits of existing recordings and real‑time accompaniment systems. It explains neural audio codecs, autoencoders, autoregressive and masked token models, diffusion and flow matching, sampling acceleration, and preference optimization, linking training objectives to published systems through worked examples. The book also discusses musical requirements for different tasks, compares representations and methods, and addresses evaluation, data provenance, memorization, attribution, and legal implications.

Abstract: Text-to-song generation models can be prompted to imitate specific artists or regurgitate entire songs from their training data. Although these pheno...

TrueMuse is a new benchmark designed to evaluate data attribution in text-to-music models. It consists of a controlled dataset created by fine‑tuning three diffusion‑based models on curated attribution samples, providing known attribution targets. The benchmark covers four settings—melodic structure, timbral characteristics, artist‑level style, and genre‑level patterns—across 133 attributes, 648 models, and 95,456 generated samples, and is used to assess existing black‑box attribution methods along several dimensions.
