The AI Search (YouTube)February 04, 2026Original link

This video is a hands-on ACE-Step 1.5 walkthrough (an open-source text-to-music model), with a mix of demos and practical setup steps.

  • A quick tour of what ACE-Step 1.5 can generate across styles (rock, lo-fi, EDM, orchestral, etc.).
  • Install notes + the rough shape of the “getting it running” workflow.
  • How to do a first text-to-song generation, then iterate on results.
  • Extra workflows beyond “generate from scratch”, including repainting, covers, and LoRA training.
  • A ComfyUI workflow option if you prefer node-style pipelines.

If you want a simple first experiment: start with one narrow prompt (genre + tempo + instrumentation + “vibe”), generate several variations, and only change one variable per iteration so you can build an intuition for what the model actually controls.
