  • Say hello to SpatialAI, the world’s first spatial AI mastering solutionAI mastering platform Masterchannel has launched SpatialAI, a new tool that specialises in mastering immersive music to be used on spatial audio systems.

    SpatialAI, according to Masterchannel, is the world’s first spatial AI mastering solution, streamlining the creation and technical compliance of spatial audio projects, making them ready for distribution in a matter of minutes.
    To use the tool, you upload your music file as an Audio Definition Model Broadcast Wave Format (ADM BWF) to Masterchannel. It will then process the file and return with an optimised track for streaming platforms, along with an individually optimised stereo version for traditional distribution.
    The launch arrives just as the popularity of spatial audio on streaming platforms is booming. Apple Music recently disclosed that after just over a year since its introduction, over 80 per cent of its global subscribers have embraced spatial audio, leading to a 1,000 per cent surge in monthly listeners of the format in 2022.
    “There’s a growing urgency for artists to deliver tracks in spatial audio, with the format being prioritised for streaming playlists,” Masterchannel CTO Simon Hestermann states in a press release. “However, until now it has been an elite technology. Producers have needed expensive equipment and add-ons to trust it, and engineers and their studios needed to be certified to attract business, making it prohibitively expensive and complex for many.”
    “That’s why we launched SpatialAI, to democratise access to spatial audio. Now DIY artists have the opportunity to compete with major signed artists for listener attention. Our aim is to streamline the switch to spatial audio for artists of all kinds.”

  • UK music industry body wants to adopt these five key principles for regulating AIThe Council of Music Makers has shared five key principles for AI use that they want policymakers to adopt when considering how to regulate AI for use in music.

    READ MORE: This new drawing-based synthesiser makes sequencing easier than ever

    The council – which represents UK songwriters, composers, artists, musicians, producers and music managers – has unveiled five fundamentals that it says should be fully embraced by the music industry as AI technology develops.
    They have been developed by CMM’s five member organisations – The Ivors Academy, the Featured Artists Coalition, the Musicians’ Union, the Music Producers Guild and the Music Managers Forum. The five principles will be officially unveiled at The Ivors Academy Global Creators Summit on music and AI in London later today (20 September).
    In addition to the proposed principles, the CMM has also produced a template letter that artists can tailor and send to record labels about the use of AI.
    “We all recognise that AI presents opportunities for the music business,” says a representative for the Council of Music Makers. “However, the rights of music-makers – including artists, musicians, songwriters and studio producers – must be respected by technology companies and rights-holders as music AI models are trained and new AI-powered products and services are developed.”
    The five principles can be seen below. We’ve simplified the wording a little, so if you want to the principles exactly as the Council of Music Makers proposes, you can head to the organisation’s website.

    Consent must be acquired by the individual music-makers before music is used to train AI models.
    All publicity and personal rights of the music-maker must be respected and cannot be exploited by AI companies or rights-holders. The UK government should strengthen these rights.
    Music-makers must fairly share the financial rewards of the music AI.
    AI companies must proactively consult music-makers and reach an agreement on how each stakeholder will share the revenue.
    AI-generated works must be clearly labelled, and AI companies must be fully transparent about the music that has been used to train their models, keeping and making available complete records of datasets.

  • Airbit drops marketplace commissions, enhances free plan, and integrates BandLabAirbit, a prominent global beat marketplace, has unveiled a significant integration with BandLab, the world’s largest social music creation platform. Separately, Airbit is undergoing “transformative changes to simplify online beat selling for music producers and creators”.

    READ MORE: Get your music professionally produced and engineered with MusicTech and BandLab’s Final Mix opportunity

    Airbit has been a pivotal platform for music producers and creators, with over $50 million earned globally and more than 2 million beats sold to date. Following its acquisition by BandLab Technologies earlier this year, Airbit is continuing its mission to empower artists by simplifying the beat-selling process.
    In a move to reinforce its creator-first approach, Airbit has eliminated all seller commission fees on its Marketplace, reducing them from up to 40 per cent to 0 per cent (excluding payment provider transaction fees). This change ensures that producers can retain a more significant portion of their earnings on the Airbit Marketplace.
    Moreover, Airbit has expanded its payment options, including credit card payments via Stripe, and has streamlined payout processes. These enhancements are designed to create a more convenient and cost-effective platform for both buyers and sellers.
    One of the key updates is the integration with BandLab, offering music producers access to a vast audience of over 60 million users worldwide. Creators can now easily register and log into Airbit using their BandLab account. This seamless integration simplifies the onboarding process for buyers and opens up opportunities for future collaborations within BandLab’s extensive network of creators.
    Wasim Khamlichi, CEO & Founder at Airbit, expressed his enthusiasm for the integration, stating, “This partnership with BandLab enhances our commitment to providing music producers with the tools they need to thrive and reach a global audience.”
    Meng Ru Kuok, CEO & Co-founder of BandLab Technologies, emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for creators, saying, “This integration is just the beginning. We look forward to further empowering our community of creators with additional features in the coming months.”
    Selling your beats online can be a serious money maker. In August, hip-hop producer KXVI revealed he’s made over $1,000,000 selling beats and collaborating with type beat producers.

    Editor’s note: Airbit and MusicTech are both a part of Caldecott Music Group.

  • “Always record ideas on your phone. Whether they’re good or bad – decide that later”: Basement Jaxx’s Felix Buxton shares tips for aspiring producersOne-half of British electronic duo Basement Jaxx, Felix Buxton, has offered some production advice, both technical and psychological, to help music producers.

    READ MORE: Touring in the US “not viable”, say The Chemical Brothers

    During the first episode of the new OpenDAW Talks podcast, hosted by Lex Luca, Buxton advises listeners to find their flow in music production, “follow your heart”, listen to what resonates, and take creative energy seriously.
    “Always record ideas on your phone,” he says. “That’s what I do. I did that this morning at about half two in the morning. Whether they’re good or bad – decide that later.”
    He also talks about flow: “As producers our most divine experience on earth comes when we’re in a state of flow. So the key is to find that flow – that may come from singing, or playing an instrument, fiddling around with some buttons, building something with eggs boxes and tapping away on that – whatever gives you that feeling.”
    The Good Luck producer goes on to highlight the importance of energy in the studio, recalling how he used to encourage singers to “make the sound of a cow”, or have collaborators “jump up and down on the spot” to shift the body chemistry and energy.

    “Being very serious about energy when creating music is crucial. That’s your precious gold; respect it and respect all the people you work with.” He says.
    Buxton also encourages producers to “live and infuse life into the music”, “don’t worry” and to quite simply “keep on going”.
    “Keep going,” Buxton says, “even when it’s tempting to give up. If you’re struggling to finish a piece, share it with someone else.”
    On the launch of the new OpenDAW Talks podcast, the host Alex Kenning, AKA Lex Luca, has said: “I’m incredibly excited to launch our new podcast series, and couldn’t have hoped for a better guest to kick things off with.
    “I’ve wanted to do this podcast for a while, it’s been a brilliant experience to record and I’m really proud of what we’ve got lined up. OpenDAW Talks will add yet another resource to what OpenDAW offers budding music-makers.”

  • Spotify unveils tool for artists to pay to promote music on home screenSpotify has launched a tool that allows artists to pay to feature new music on the app’s home screen.

    READ MORE: This new drawing-based synthesiser makes sequencing easier than ever

    The newest feature, named Showcase, allows artists to promote new music, upcoming releases, anniversaries and more, by appearing as a mobile banner at the top of Spotify’s homepage.
    According to Spotify, the aim of Showcase is to not only “hype” up an existing fan base, but also re-engage listeners that may not have interacted with an artist in a while. As a result of trials, the streaming service has claimed that those who see a Showcase are six more times more likely to stream a promoted release.
    Artists can use Showcase to reach listeners in around 30 different markets, which are mainly defined as “active” and “previously active” listeners.
    For example, artists have the option to target their advertisement to “super listeners”, “moderate listeners” and “light listeners”, as well as those that haven’t intentionally streamed their music in at least 28 days.
    Alongside the launch of Showcase is also Showcase reporting, where artists can access data which shows how a campaign drives engagement. It tracks “amplified listeners”, “reactivated listeners” and “new active listeners”.
    Budgets for Showcase campaigns start at $100 when booked via Spotify for Artists and run until you either spend your budget or 14 days after your campaign starts, whichever comes first.
    Spotify has released a series of new features in the last few months, such as the Daylist.
    The new Daylist feature involves the platform analysing a user’s daily listening trends, which it uses to create a playlist that is updated several times a day. The playlist it creates is unique to every user and is designed to match their mood as the day goes on.
    For more information about Showcase, you can head to Spotify’s website.

  • This new drawing-based synthesiser makes sequencing easier than everPlugin manufacturer blööps has launched blöcks, a drawing-based sequencer and percussion synthesiser made for Ableton Live.

    The sequencer works using four colour-coded blocks, which draw the sequence. By clicking and dragging blocks, users can draw the sequence that they want the plugin to play. Every time the main sequencer passes a block, the corresponding colour-coded sequencer moves one step.
    The green block controls the pitch of the note, as well as the type-blend between kick, hi-hat and percussion. The purple block is responsible for filtering and distortion, while the pink block adds modulation to the sound with either ring or amplitude modulation. Finally, the blue block adds a comb filter set spatialise effect or a variable speed rhythmic delay.
    As well as the blocks, there are three additional controls which can be added to the sequence. This includes ‘hold’, which makes the sequencer stop on the marked step for 2, 3 or 4 counts. There is also ‘ratchet’ which makes the sequencer repeat the step for 2, 3 or 4 times in one count. Finally, ‘connector’ make blocks sound together, either resulting in a new sound or alternating the corresponding coloured sequence.
    blöcks also has an option to map any external controls to seven sequencers, which can be modulated accordingly. Users can offset these controls to a desirable state or enable the slew button to make a smooth transition between slider values.
    blöcks also comes with a standalone MIDI version, which can be dropped before any synthesiser to use blöcks as a sequencer.
    blöcks is currently available for $29 via blööps.
