FULL STORY ======================================================================

Adobe is getting into the music business as the company is previewing its
new experimental generative AI capable of making background tracks.

It doesnt have an official name yet since the tech is referred to as Project Music GenAI. The way it works, according to Adobe , is you enter a text
prompt into the AI describing what you want to hear; be it powerful rock, happy dance, or sad jazz. Additionally, users will be able to upload music files to the generative engine for further manipulation. There will even be some editing tools in the workflow for on-the-fly adjustments.

If any of this sounds familiar to you, thats because weve seen this type of technology multiple times before. Last year, Meta launched MusicGen for creating short instrumentals and Google opened the doors to its experimental audio engine called Instrument Playground . But whats different about Adobes tool is it offers easier, yet robust editing as far as we can tell.

Project Music GenAI isnt publicly available. However, Adobe did recently publish a video on its official YouTube channel showing off the experiment in detail. Adobe in concert

The clip primarily follows a researcher at Adobe demonstrating what the AI
can do. He starts by uploading the song Habanera from Georges Bizets opera Carmen and then proceeds to change the melody via a prompt. In one instance, the researcher instructed Project Music to make Habanera sound like an inspirational film score. Sure enough, the output became less playful and
more uplifting. In another example, they gave the song a hip-hop-style accompaniment.

When it comes to generating fresh content, Project Music can even make songs with different tempos and structures. There is a clear delineation between
the intro, the verse, the chorus, and other parts of the track. It can even create indefinitely looping music for videos as well as fade-outs for the outro. No experience necessary

These editing abilities may make Adobes Project Music better than Instrument Playground. Googles engine has its own editing tools, however theyre
difficult to use. It seems you need some production experience to get the
most out of Instrument Playground. Project Music, on the other hand, aims to be more intuitive.

And if you're curious to know, Meta's MusicGen has no editing tools. To make changes, you have to remake the song from scratch.

In a report by TheVerge , Adobe states the current demo utilizes public domain content for content generation. Its not totally clear whether people will be able to upload their own files to the final release. Speaking of which, a launch date for Project Music has yet to be revealed although Adobe will be holding its Summit event in Las Vegas beginning March 26. Still, we reached out to the company asking for information. This story will be updated at a later time.
