When it comes to AI-generated music, I’ve never given it the time of day. But at the recent AI-focused Google I/O 2024 event, something made me rethink my feelings towards AI’s place in music – I’m talking about Google MusicFX DJ Mode, which you can try at this link.
DJ Mode is an extension of Google Music FX, a generative AI tool that forms a 30-second track when you enter a written prompt, or you can select a random one. With DJ Mode, you can create a full DJ set using a similar system by entering prompts such as ‘808 Hip-Hop Beat’ and ‘Viola’, layering them to create a never-ending set. You can even fine-tune each component to make them more present than others.
