YouTube just launched a new Music AI Incubator, revealing plans to work with artists to develop generative AI technologies and gather insights.

Universal Music Group is hoping to generate an additional revenue stream for its artists with a new YouTube partnership on AI, dubbed the “YouTube’s Music AI Incubator.” With the ability to craft tools that respect artists’ rights, generative AI may soon represent a financial windfall instead of an existential threat.

Why should DJs care? With close to 3 billion monthly users, YouTube embracing AI (and UMG one of the largest record companies) could chart a completely new course for tech in the music industry — especially after initial backlash and copyright enforcement.

OpenAI & Global Illumination Working on the Future of AI Visuals

OpenAI, a name synonymous with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, has just made a groundbreaking move that's music to our ears! They've acquired Global Illumination, a team that's been rocking the AI world with their innovative 3D rendering techniques. OpenAI and Global Illumination are joining forces to enhance the capabilities of AI systems. This collaboration aims to push the boundaries of what's possible in machine learning, computer vision, and graphics.

Why Should DJs Care?

Imagine the future of live events and performances, where AI-driven visualizations and 3D effects take center stage. Global Illumination's expertise in 3D rendering could revolutionize the way we create immersive experiences for our audiences. They'll be focusing on areas like simulation, which could have exciting applications in our industry. Think virtual reality DJ sets, augmented reality light shows, and more!

TikTok is stepping up its game in the world of artificial intelligence. If you've ever experimented with AI to create those captivating, scenes in your videos, TikTok now wants you to let the world know.

Starting immediately, uploaders must disclose if any part of their video was crafted using AI-generated content. Think of it as a virtual "Made with AI" stamp. This isn't just a suggestion; failing to comply could result in your videos being taken down.

Our Top 5 AI Video Editing Tools

  1. Capcut - This is by far one of the top new video tools, available for mobile and desktop. It’s an awesome video editing app, but also has some great AI features like Auto-Captions, Text-To-Speech with your choice of voices and even a Background Remover, for videos!

  2. Descript - Descript is great for podcasting, screen recording and video editing and is super easy. Basically once it transcribes the text, you can cut and paste the text, to rearrange the video. Like Microsoft Word for Video.

  3. Adobe Podcast - The main reason we love this one is because you can take your recording, run it through Adobe Podcast to remove any background noise and enhance the speech of your recording.

  4. Opus Clip - Opus is different than the others above because the AI will take your 1 hour video and give you short, viral ready clips, complete with captions.

  5. Adcreative.ai - While this isn’t just a video editing tool, we wanted to include it because of one feature that’s coming soon. This AI powered platform already helps make advertising creatives for all of your channels but they are also adding the ability to generate ready to use videos for ads.

Crate Hacker Aaron Traylor introduces the new acquisition, Magic Playlist, a super cool, innovative tool to make a playlist based on the entry of a single song. With Spotify and Crate Hackers software integrations, this is a great tool to add to your toolbox.

Build a 'Set Starters' crate with Jason Jani! See inside the mind of one of the GOATs of the mobile DJ world tonight and see what he throws down at some of the most high end private parties in the world.

This crate right here! Got me all up in my feels. Being a 90’s bred NYC kid myself, Manny Laina hit home with this one and we had to show him some spotlight love.

Full disclosure: I had what I thought was a banging reggae crate already and this is the beauty of Crate Hackers, I brought this one in, analyzed mine to see what was working and what wasn’t, now this crate merged with mine is a Supa Killa.
