Atlanta-based music technology company Audialab has unveiled two groundbreaking free products that harness the power of AI to transform the music creation process. Audialab Engine and Deep Sampler 2 enable artists to run cutting-edge AI models directly on their computers, ushering in a new era of community-driven innovation in music production.
Audialab Engine: Empowering Artists with Local AI
Audialab Engine is a pioneering platform that allows users to download, run, and utilize open-source generative models for music production right on their own machines. With an easy setup process and no programming required, the Engine brings the power of AI to artists’ fingertips while ensuring enhanced privacy and speed through local processing.
The platform supports multiple open-source models and seamlessly loads them from Hugging Face or local storage. Audialab CEO Berkeley Malagon envisions the Engine becoming the “Ollama for music,” referring to the open-source language model community.
Deep Sampler 2: AI-Assisted Sound Design in Your DAW
Built on the Audialab Engine, Deep Sampler 2 is a VST/AU plugin that integrates AI-generation into music production workflows directly in the digital audio workstation (DAW). This innovative tool allows artists to generate or modify samples using text prompts, creating diverse sounds ranging from drums and melodies to textures and more.
Deep Sampler 2 offers a choice of different source models, each with unique capabilities, empowering producers to overcome creative blocks through AI-assisted sound design.
A Vision for the Future of Music Creation
Audialab’s mission extends beyond providing tools; the company aims to shape the future of AI’s role in music creation. Malagon explains, “We’re ushering in an era where AI becomes a personalized instrument in every artist’s toolkit. Imagine producers crafting, sharing, and blending AI models as unique as their sound – it really amplifies the diversity of human creativity.”
By offering Audialab Engine and Deep Sampler 2 for free, the company seeks to steer AI in music production towards enhancing, rather than replacing, human creativity. This initiative positions AI as a tool to amplify artistic expression and empower musicians of all levels, ensuring the technology expands creative possibilities.
Availability and Community Engagement
Audialab Engine and Deep Sampler 2 are now available for free download on macOS (10.13 and later), with Windows and Linux versions in development. The company (whose founders have a strong background in both music and AI ethics) invites music creators to join their Discord community to share creations, provide feedback, and help shape the future of AI in music production.
