Among these tools are 'Tuney' for remixing and editing, 'ACE Studio' for generating vocals and lyrics, and 'TwoShot' for creating custom samples.

CEO Eliah Seton highlighted SoundCloud's commitment to supporting creators and fostering innovation within the music industry.

To ensure proper rights management and compensation for creators using these AI tools, SoundCloud is partnering with Audible Magic and Pex.

SoundCloud has launched six new generative AI tools designed to enhance music creation while emphasizing ethical practices.

The platform will utilize content identification technologies from these partners to ensure that rights holders are credited and compensated for their work in AI-assisted music.

SoundCloud's initiative aims to democratize music creation, making it accessible to creators without extensive training or resources.

Currently, about 25% of music producers are already using AI to enhance their workflow, indicating a significant trend in the industry.

However, a report published in August 2024 cautioned that generative AI could threaten a substantial amount of musicians' revenue by 2028.

Concerns regarding AI's impact on musicians' income have been echoed by a UK parliamentary group advocating for regulation in the music sector.

In addition to SoundCloud, YouTube is also exploring AI integration, testing features that allow creators to remix licensed songs for their Shorts.

Previously, SoundCloud integrated AI tools like Fadr, Soundful, and Voice-Swap, which facilitate an easy upload process after sound creation.

The 'Tuney' tool allows users to reinterpret original songs easily, featuring a 'Beat Swap' tool for seamless remixing.
