This week, Adobe revealed an experimental audio ai tool to join the image-based ones in Photoshop. Described by the company as “an early-stage generative ai music generation and editing tool,” Adobe's Project Music GenAI Control can create music (and other audio) from text prompts, which you can then adjust accordingly. the same interface.
Adobe frames Firefly-based technology as a creative ally that, unlike generative audio experiments like Google's MusicLM, goes a step further and avoids the hassle of moving output to external apps like Pro Tools, Logic Pro or GarageBand. to edit. “Instead of manually cutting existing music to create intros, outros, and background audio, Project Music GenAI Control could help users create exactly the pieces they need, solving pain points in the end-to-end workflow” , Adobe wrote in an announcement blog post.
The company suggests starting with text entries like “power rock,” “happy dance,” or “sad jazz” as a base. From there, you can enter more cues to adjust its tempo, structure and repetition, increase its intensity, extend its duration, remix entire sections, or create loops. The company says it can even transform audio based on a reference melody.
Adobe says the resulting music is safe for commercial use. It is also integrating its Content Credentials (“nutritional labels” for generated content), an attempt to be transparent about the ai-assisted nature of its masterpiece.
“One of the cool things about these new tools is that they're not just for generating audio: they take it to the level of Photoshop by giving creatives the same kind of deep control to shape, adjust and edit their audio. “It's a kind of pixel-level control for music,” wrote Adobe Research scientist Nicholas Bryan.
The project is a collaboration with the University of California, San Diego and the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Adobe's announcement emphasized the experimental nature of Project Music GenAI Control. (It didn't reveal much of its interface in the video above, suggesting it may not have a consumer-facing user interface yet.) So you may have to wait a while before the feature (presumably) comes to Adobe's Creative Cloud suite. .
