The AI music space is witnessing explosive growth, spawning start-ups specialising in tools for music composition, voice cloning, production and more. According to Market.us, AI music will grow to $2.6bn within the next decade. Major players like Google, Meta and Microsoft are already active in the space, while Sony Music has even appointed an EVP of AI.
AI music tools now cater to every kind of user. For seasoned pros, platforms like Moises offer tools for audio separation, tempo changing, mastering and more. But further impact may come from apps designed for novices, that enable budding artists and content creators while offering convenient tools for brands and businesses.
In June, Byte Dance, parent company of TikTok, announced it was beta testing a new “music creation, composition and audio editing” app called Ripple that artists or creators can use to put together tracks, even by just singing or humming a melody into their phone. Mayk.It, another music creation app for beginners, can do the job of composer, singer and sound engineer, correcting pitch, editing and mixing in just a few clicks. Meanwhile global music tech company Epidemic Sound has just launched an AI music discovery tool (below) for content creators that can analyse video frames to recommend restriction-free audio that perfectly complements visuals.
