YouTube late last year opened the doors for a handful of select U.S. creators to compose AI-generated songs featuring vocals from Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, John Legend, Sia, T-Pain, and Troye Sivan. Now the company is giving the ability some added capability with its Dream Track toolset by allowing creators to remix tracks just by describing how they'd like to modify the style of the song.

The video streaming platform said it is making available select songs for remixing to creators for this experiment. Creators in the test group can choose the "Retstyle a track" option on a song, describe how they want to remix it, and this will generate a 30-second snippet that creators can use in Shorts.

If you want to give a song a different genre or mood, you simply enter your vision into the 'Restyle a track' prompt and you'll soon have a customized soundtrack that reimagines the music while maintaining the essence of the original song's vocals and lyrics," the update reads.

Google furthered this by stating that these remixed snippets would be appropriately crediting the original song through the short video itself and through the audio pivot page of Shorts. Remixes will also have the proper tag that the track has indeed been tampered with AI.

YouTube last November released Dream Track, a toolset powered by the Lyria music generation model developed by Deepmind. At the time the platform also debuted a tool which allows users to create a track by humming an actual tune.

In a bid to redeem itself from the ire of the music industry, YouTube last August said-it did this before releasing any of these tools-that it will compensate artists and rights holders for using their work in AI features. To that end, the company announced a partnership with Universal Music Group, or UMG, to help develop a structure to pay rights holders.

And YouTube is not alone in developing tools for users to remix tracks. Former JioSaavn executive Gaurav Sharma is building an app called Hook that lets users remix songs that could be used to create short videos.
