Adobe’s experimental tool lets you generate music with text prompts

Adobe is expanding its generative AI portfolio with a new tool for music creation. Project Music GenAI Control is a cutting-edge tool that lets users generate and edit music from text inputs. It is similar to other AI models that can produce images or videos from text descriptions.

Project Music leverages the same technology that powers Firefly, Adobe’s AI tool for generating images from text. Users can enter text prompts such as "powerful rock," "happy dance," or "sad jazz" to create music in different genres and styles.

Separate applause from speech and more with Adobe’s Project Sound Lift

Project Sound Lift is a new audio tool from Adobe that can use AI to isolate different sounds in a single recording. For example, it can separate applause from speech or traffic from music. You can choose from various sound categories, and the tool will create separate files for each layer. You can then edit them individually in Adobe Premiere Pro. This tool is still in development and not yet available to the public.

This technology is similar to what was used to restore John Lennon’s voice from a cassette tape and release the first Beatles song in almost 30 years. Project Sound Lift is branded as one of Adobe's "Sneak" previews, so it might be a while before this tool gets released. And we're hoping that they decide to launch it.
