In this tutorial I show the newer ACE-Step XL 1.5 Premium features, especially the corrected remix workflow that was missing from the previous video. You will see how to remix songs properly, convert lyrics and language, tune remix strength and melody retention, regenerate only selected parts, use the Library metadata system, install the upgraded Paints-Undo pipeline, reduce VRAM usage, and fix repeating lines in Whisper Premium transcriptions.
