In the last entry of YouTube’s Creator Insider channel, Lauren showcased the tool. Indeed, Music Assistant sits on a separate tab in the Creator Music section.
Lauren described, the feature of Music Assistant goes beyond creating instrumental tracks for users.
Clients can give requests like, or prompts as per their preferences and the software will deliver multiple instrumental pieces tailored to each request. The clients just have to listen to the pieces and subsequently download the ones they prefer.
One video screenshot shows the Music Assistant tool as described in AudioCraft, allowing the users to put in descriptors of the music they would want in natural language form.
YouTube’s new assistant supplements the long listing of existing AI music software. Other firms like Stability AI, and Meta with its open-source tools AudioCraft and MusicGen, already have models to develop music and sounds through prompts.
The platform has taken a broader approach toward AI and music integration. The latest developments for the company include a song remixing tool aimed at altering hit songs for Shorts use and a feature called Dream Track that transforms one’s humming into songs in the style of T-Pain, among others.
