I've now tested both Suno and Udio and, as a composer of experimental music, I prefer Udio on every level:

- better sound quality
- accurately renders specific instruments (bcl, cello, harpsichord, sax etc)
- greater sense of musical coherence
etc.

However... neither tool makes music I would actually listen to as is.

At best, I can imagine using Udio to generate specific textures that I might then pull into a project I'm working on.

I see this as comparable to but quicker than scrolling through synth presets to find a certain sound I'm hearing in my inner ear (though it'd likely still need refining).

Ultimately, this kind of use still requires me as composer/prompter to have a mental image of what I'm after. It's just a different workflow to help me achieve it.
