Universal Music Group (UMG) joins hands with AI music technology company SoundLabs to launch revolutionary voice cloning technology to empower singers and artists. This technology, called MicDrop, allows artists to create and fully control their personal voice models, achieving autonomy over their voices. MicDrop can not only convert speech into musical instrument sound effects, expanding the possibilities of music creation, but also has language conversion functions, breaking language barriers and helping music go global.
Through SoundLabs' MicDrop feature, artists can provide data to generate their own speech models and have full control over the use of these models. This means that your voice has the final say! MicDrop's voice-to-instrument function turns the keyboard into guitar or drum sounds in seconds, providing unlimited flexibility and creative space for music creation. Not only that, MicDrop also has a language conversion function to help artists overcome language barriers and make music borderless. Main highlight functions: speech model creation; speech-to-instrument function; language conversion function; protection of artist rights. The voice models in MicDrop will not be available to the public, ensuring that the artist's virtual likeness will not be misused. Artists have complete control over ownership and use of models, preventing unauthorized use. SoundLabs was founded by Grammy-nominated producer, composer and software developer BT, and the team also includes award-winning software developers Joshua Dickinson and Dr. Michael Hetrick, who together are advancing the application of AI in music creation. UMG and SoundLabs jointly released the "AI Music Creation Principles", advocating the responsible use of AI technology in music creation to ensure the harmonious coexistence of technological progress and artistic creation.
This innovative technology not only improves the efficiency of music creation, but also provides artists with more powerful creative tools and more effective copyright protection, heralding a new chapter in the application of AI technology in the music industry. In the future, we can look forward to more similar AI technologies empowering music creation and promoting the sustainable development of the music industry.
