The collaborative innovation of Wez Clarke and Masterchannel is paving the way for a world where accessibility to a Grammy Award-winning audio engineer will soon be widespread across the creative arts.
It seems the music industry is witnessing a novel innovation: the world's first AI clone of an audio engineer. This is according to Masterchannel, which believes its technology marks a significant leap in the integration of AI with the art of music production.
“Having Wez Clarke collaborate with us, recognizing the potential and future of AI in music, is a testament to how artists can use AI to their advantage,” Masterchannel CTO Simon Hestermann said in a statement. of press. “While there is widespread concern about unauthorized impersonation of artists, this launch demonstrates that artists can actively shape and leverage the role of AI in the industry.
Clarke, known for his impeccable engineering skills and mixing 13 UK number one singles for artists including Beyoncé and Clean Bandit, has now extended his domain into the realm of AI. Masterchannel's “Wez Clarke AI” technology mirrors the experience of his namesake, much like how voice clones have been trained to replicate the distinctive vocal characteristics of singers like Drake and The Weeknd.
This breakthrough, which effectively lowers the barrier to entry to creating high-quality music, can be seen as further evidence that the expected influx of AI-generated music in the coming years is a realistic probability.
“The exciting thing about the clone is that it opens up what I can offer to a much wider audience of bedroom artists and producers,” Clarke added. “It's great that they can experience working with a top engineer; I would have loved to have had the opportunity to use something like this when I was starting out, because it's a perfect way to learn. Producers can get very used to the way their music sounds, and not “They realize how much better it could be. The clone gives everyone the opportunity to make their music sound as good as their published music, and ultimately they will learn how to achieve that professional sound for themselves.”
Music producers can try Wez Clarke's AI for themselves via Masterchannel website.
