AI effects have arrived for one of the most popular open-source audio editors available. In a recent blog post, it was announced that Audacity would be getting OpenVINO AI effects built by Intel (h/t NotebookCheck). The new AI plug-ins for Audacity are expected to appeal to both music makers and podcasters alike. In brief, OpenVINO tools are being made available for Audacity users who would appreciate AI-enhanced music generation, music style remixing, music separation, noise suppression, and voice-to-text transcription. All these AI features “run 100% locally on your PC,” asserts the Audacity team.
