    Thinking of expanding your brand beyond DJing? This is a great opportunity to explore other content formats like podcasts.

The Future is Multilingual 🌐

Spotify's new feature is just the tip of the AI iceberg. It's a step towards making content more accessible and diverse, and it's exciting to think about what's next.

Hold onto your headphones because we've got something that's gonna blow your mind! Emergent Drums, developed by Audialab, is an AI-powered drum sampler plug-in that's changing the game. Let's dive into what this means for the DJ community.

The Beat of Emergent Drums 

Emergent Drums works like your traditional beat machine but with a futuristic twist. It features a 16-pad layout, perfect for hooking up a USB drum pad controller. When you load the plug-in, the AI chooses an array of sounds for each pad. You can then "generate" new sounds based on what the AI presents. It's a super intuitive tool that can spark a ton of new creative ideas.

Unique Every Time

The drum samples generated are one-of-a-kind. The AI is trained on a vast array of sounds but doesn't use any source recordings. This means you'll get uniquely individual results every time. You can even make beats via MIDI and cycle through sounds until you find the perfect one.

What Does It Mean for DJs? 

  • Creative Freedom

    This plug-in allows you to create custom beats and samples, giving you a unique edge in your sets.

  • Workflow Boost

    The AI tech works incredibly fast, generating new samples in seconds. This can speed up your creative process and bring an element of surprise to your workflow.

  • Sound Uniqueness

    With AI-generated samples, you don't have to worry about using overused sounds from sample libraries. Your tracks will stand out, giving you a unique sonic signature.

The Future is Now 🤖

Emergent Drums is part of a growing trend of AI integration in the music industry. It's not just about drum samples; imagine the possibilities of AI-generated sound effects or even entire tracks. The future is exciting, and it's happening now.
