With the goal of transforming the composition and editing of music, Adobe has unveiled Project Music GenAI Control, a ground-breaking artificial intelligence tool. Announced at the Hot Pod Summit in Brooklyn, this prototype generative AI application allows users to create music from text descriptions or sample melodies while providing comprehensive editing options all inside the same workflow. The program creates music based on language suggestions that users enter, such as “happy dance” or “sad jazz,” to describe the desired musical style. It also enables the created music to be customized with changes to tempo, intensity, repeating patterns, and structure. It is appropriate for a variety of content development purposes, including backing tracks or background music for podcasts and animations, since users may also alter certain musical segments or create repeating loops.
Project Music GenAI Control, created in partnership with scientists from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of California, differs from other generative music applications on the market by providing a more comprehensive and intuitive editing interface. Adobe’s application offers “pixel-level control” for music, enabling immediate and in-depth edits to the created audio, in contrast to other programs that force users to generate audio from scratch again until attaining the desired result or to use separate audio editing software for modifications.
By training its generative AI tools on licensed or public domain material, Adobe highlights its commitment to ethical and legal considerations in order to prevent future intellectual property difficulties. To aid in the identification of audio created by Project Music GenAI Control, the business is also investigating watermarking technology; however, specifics on the application and efficacy of this technology are still being worked out.
Despite not having a user interface and being in the research stage, Adobe’s endeavor is a big step forward for AI-powered music editing and composition. It advances the conversation regarding the moral and legal ramifications of AI-generated content and provides new avenues for those without professional audio knowledge to realize their musical ideas.
Adobe is using AI to improve its audio and video creative tools, and Project Music GenAI Control is one component of this larger endeavor. Other initiatives, like Project Sound Lift, show Adobe’s dedication to applying AI to address typical audio problems, such improving voice recordings and isolating speech from background noise.
Collectively, these advancements demonstrate Adobe’s contribution to the creative industries’ use of AI technology by providing professionals and enthusiasts with tools that streamline and improve the creative process.
