This trend suggests that the music industry may become more intertwined with artificial intelligence in the future.
Google DeepMind and YouTube are collaborating to push the boundaries in music. Dream Track and Music AI tools will redefine creativity by enabling users to produce AI-powered music. The new music production model is called “Lyria”. Google DeepMind’s new music production model Lyria will work in integration with the YouTube platform.
Unleash the boundaries of creativity with Dream Track and Music AI
Dream Track is a feature developed specifically for YouTube Shorts. The aim of this feature is to allow users to create 30-second AI-generated soundtracks in the style of certain artists’ voices and music.
However, some concerns have been raised about the authenticity and sustainability of AI-generated music. DeepMind said that it is difficult to maintain musical continuity over long transitions and that they are working to solve this problem. To overcome these challenges, DeepMind and YouTube are initially focusing on short pieces of music. Dream Track offers the chance to mimic the musical styles of selected artists by creating 30-second AI-generated soundtracks.
Google DeepMind aims to support the music production process with Music AI tools. This toolkit is being tested and developed by artists, songwriters and producers in a group called Music AI Incubator. DeepMind announced that the Music AI tools will focus on various areas such as creating music on specific instruments, creating a whole set of instrumentation by humming a melody, creating a chorus using chords with a simple MIDI keyboard.
With this step by Google, many companies are developing similar tools in the field of AI-based music creation. This trend suggests that the music industry may become more intertwined with AI in the future.
