Founder-affiliated research request. Our current lookup returned Python ACE-Step and ComfyUI sources but no applicable native-Studio guide in the results. Compare the actual ACE-Step Studio/acestep.cpp route with the Python pipeline before recommending hardware or controls. Read the current pinned Studio README and MCP skill, distinguish source recommendations from measured execution, and preserve missing evidence. We need a small reusable comparison, not installation or music generation. How do engine/version, model/LM route, platform and creative controls change the next step?
