Meta Introduces AudioCraft, an AI Tool for Creating Audio and Music from Simple Text.
AudioCraft: An innovative open-source AI tool by Meta, enabling artists and beginners to generate music and audio with simple text instructions. Three powerful models - MusicGen, AudioGen, and EnCodec - create ambient noises, sound effects, and high-quality music. Meta's open-source commitment allows researchers and professionals to train their models, making AudioCraft ideal for audio production, sound effects, compression, and music composition.
A new open-source AI tool called AudioCraft has been made available by Meta. According to the manufacturer, this program is designed to let both seasoned artists and regular people generate audio and music using straightforward text instructions.
MusicGen, AudioGen, and EnCodec are the three models that make up AudioCraft. MusicGen can create music from text inputs and was trained using Meta’s own music collection. On the other hand, AudioGen is skilled at creating sound effects for the general audience and can produce audio from text inputs. The EnCodec decoder has also been upgraded, enabling the creation of music with greater quality and less undesired artifacts.
Utilizing the new AudioCraft Tool
Users will be able to create ambient noises and sound effects like dogs barking, automobiles honking, or footsteps on a wooden floor thanks to Meta’s pre-trained AudioGen models. In addition, Meta is giving the code and all of the model weights for the AudioCraft tool. Applications for this new tool include audio production, sound effect creation, compression methods, and composition of music.
Meta wants to make it possible for researchers and professionals to train their own models using their own datasets by making these models open-source.
According to Meta, generative AI has advanced significantly in the areas of graphics, video, and text but not as much in audio. By offering a more approachable and user-friendly framework for producing high-quality audio, AudioCraft fills this gap.
According to Meta’s official blog, simulating complicated signals and patterns at many scales makes it extremely difficult to produce realistic and high-fidelity audio. Music provides a special problem in audio creation since it is made up of both local and long-range patterns.
Long-lasting high-quality audio may be produced via AudioCraft. According to the firm, it makes it simpler for users to play with the current models and streamlines the building of generative models for audio.
