It might be free and open-source, but Audacity certainly isn’t an audio editor that’s failing to move with the times. It recently got itself a new suite of plugins that are powered by Intel’s OpenVINO AI toolkit, and it sounds like some of them could be pretty useful.
First up, we have Music Generation and Music Style remix, both of which use the Stable Diffusion AI model – specifically in its Riffusion guise – to create either new music from a prompt, or existing music.
Music Separation, on the other hand, does what it says on the tin: breaks a song up into either vocal or instrumental parts, or into vocal, drums, bass and a combined ‘anything else’ part.
