With the help of rapper/producer Wyclef Jean, songwriter Justin Tranter, and electronic music creator and YouTube personality Marc Rebillet, Google and YouTube have launched a new set of music tools called “Music AI Sandbox.”
A new promotional video shows three music creators experimenting with the new tool, which Google describes in a blog post as “designed to open up a new playground for creativity, allowing people to create new ones from scratch.” Instrumental parts, changing sounds in new ways and more” more. “
The video shows an interactive screen that allows users to create a music clip by entering text in a text field titled “Describe your track.” There is also a text field titled “Sounds You Don’t Want” and an optional lyrics field. The film also shows AI-generated clips being inserted into longer musical compositions in the Waveform Music Editor.
Jean, Tranter, and Rebillet have released demo tracks on their YouTube channel that demonstrate the capabilities of the technology.
In the promotional video, Wyclef Jean said: “These tools speed up the process of processing the ideas in my head and expressing them. You can move at the speed of light with your creativity.
He describes his process of “crate digging,” meaning scouring record store crates for sounds to sample in new tracks.
“So now, we’re digging into infinite boxes. It’s endless,” he says in the video.
Musical AI sandbox is unlikely to be the name of the technology in the long term, as the term “sandbox” refers to a test environment in which new programs are isolated.
Technology comes from Google deep thinkingThe tech giant’s artificial intelligence development lab is aligned with YouTube, which it signed a partnership with last year universal music group (Age) launched the “Music Artificial Intelligence Incubator”, in which the two companies will jointly develop artificial intelligence tools to provide “safe, responsible and profitable” opportunities for music creators and copyright holders.
However, of the three artists promoted by Google, only one — Justin Tranter — has a significant relationship with Universal.
Google provided little information about how its music AI sandbox tools were trained, but did indicate that they come from DeepMind’s Lyria, which the company described last fall as “our most advanced music generative model.”
In its communications, Google often describes its work in generating music-generating AI as a “collaboration” with music creators – emphasizing that its technology is designed to aid human music creators, not replace them.
“We are focused not only on advancing state-of-the-art technology, but also on doing so responsibly. Therefore, we are taking steps to address the challenges posed by generative technologies and help people and organizations use AI-generated content responsibly.

Still, some questions have been raised about the source of the Google study, particularly in an article published by Google advertising billboard Earlier this year, the company claimed that Google used copyrighted material to train its artificial intelligence without permission and sought to license the material retroactively.
DeepMind also announced the launch of a video generation tool I understandwhich creates “high-quality 1080p resolution videos in a variety of cinematic and visual styles” and understands terms like “time-lapse” or “landscape aerial shots.”
The company also revealed image 3which it calls its “highest quality” text-to-image generator yet.
“Imagen 3 can better understand natural language, the intent behind prompts, and incorporate small details in longer prompts. The model’s advanced understanding helps it master a range of styles,” Google said.
At the I/O conference, Google also announced an updated version of the Gemini AI tool, including plans to integrate the tool directly into the Google Chrome browser and plans to integrate it into Google’s search engine.
Plans to have Gemini provide answers to search engine queries at the top of results pages have raised concerns among news publishers, some of whom said their businesses could suffer if Google cannibalizes their news articles.
Earlier this year, an early version of Gemini’s image-generating tool was widely mocked on social media after users found it provided historically inaccurate depictions of, for example, black people in Nazi Germany’s military.
The negative attention prompted Google to suspend the tool and issue an apology, promising to fix the bug.global music business
