Our New AI Song Editing Feature Allows You to Edit a Soundstripe Track in Seconds

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’ve probably noticed that artificial intelligence technology is here and quickly changing the world around us. While there will always be those skeptical of AI and its possible Skynet-esque intentions, there are also plenty of reasons to embrace AI and use it as a tool to make your jobs and creative tasks easier.

That's why we are excited to announce the launch of our new AI Song Editing feature, a tool that empowers creators to easily manipulate soundtracks and streamline their video and music editing processes.

Let’s take a look at this new AI Song Editing feature and explore how you can use it to edit a Soundstripe track in seconds to perfectly fit your video needs.

What is AI Song Editing?

It’s always tricky finding the right music to add to your videos. Not only do you want to find the exact right track that fits the genre, mood, and style, but it’s also very likely that the song itself won’t be the exact same length as your video—or at least the section of your video you need it for.

And while there are certainly plenty of ways to edit music to fit your project needs (which is why we offer stems for our tracks at Soundstripe), it’s still a bit of a hassle to manually edit your audio to fit a certain length.

With our new AI Song Editing feature you can utilize artificial intelligence to manipulate a Soundstripe track in seconds with the quality of a professional audio engineer. The AI Song Editing feature uses groundbreaking AI to analyze a song and instantly generate shorter, self-contained snippets, each of which sounds natural on its own or can be combined with other clips directly in-app to produce a custom edit that sounds as flawless as the original version. 

With AI Song Editing, you can engage with a track at a new level of detail and control, cut or extend it to the perfect length, loop a specific section, or completely rearrange it in no time while maintaining the highest musical integrity. 

How does AI Song Editing work?

So, how does this new AI feature work? Soundstripe’s AI Song Editing is powered by pioneering assistive technology that can detect the beat and bar mapping of a song and identify valid entry and exit points for each section (as opposed to, say, abruptly cutting off the song at the :15 or :30 mark). 

With the click of a button, these self-contained sections appear as color-coded, timestamped segments that you can choose from or arrange into a composition perfectly tailored to your project’s length and narrative arc. Perhaps you’d like your edit to jump from the introduction straight to the chorus or loop that four-bar bed that you like: we provide you with the tools to make that happen.

Think of our AI Song Editing feature as your own personal audio engineer, allowing you to seamlessly make subtle yet strategic changes that have a big impact on your work.

Why you should try AI Song Editing

AI Song Editing offers infinitely more options within the Soundstripe Catalog, enabling creators to find (or quickly generate) the right edit for any project, no matter its specifications. 

With social media proliferating and evolving at a dizzying pace, our customers need to produce more content variations in less time than ever. AI Song Editing gives Soundstripe users the flexibility to leverage any song in our library and the ability to edit it (including cutting or extending it to whatever length necessary) – all without compromising the quality of the music, adding time to the process, or risking copyright claims. That’s right: custom edits retain the same rights and protections as the original tracks.  

Like AI Search, AI Song Editing is just one of the earliest steps in our journey to integrate ethical AI throughout the Soundstripe experience in meaningful ways to revolutionize how creators discover, license, and tell stories with music.

FAQ about AI Song Editing 

Have more questions about AI Song Editing? Here are some answers regarding who will have access to AI Song Editing as well as information about your rights and protections using Soundstripe music.

Who will have access to AI Song Editing and how much does it cost?

With the AI Song Editing release, all Pro, Pro Plus, Business, and Enterprise customers will automatically get AI Song Editing included in their plans. 

There will be no additional charge to use the feature, and like any other alternate version of a song in our catalog, there is no cost on top of the subscription to use an AI Song Editing edit in a project.

Anyone with a free account or Creator plan can also use AI Song Editing to audition countless track variations right in-browser. But to download your custom edits, you'll need a Pro plan or higher. Once you upgrade, you'll immediately gain access to all AI Song Editing has to offer.        

Does AI Song Editing work on mobile?

At this time, the feature is only available on the desktop experience.

Does AI Song Editing work with songs with lyrics, or instrumental tracks only?

AI Song Editing works as seamlessly with songs with lyrics as it does with instrumental tracks.

What makes an edit different from an alternate version or stem?

Both stems and AI Song Editing give you more options from the Soundstripe Catalog to choose from and more control over the audio in your content. But mixing stems requires time and focus, a certain level of skill, and separate post-production software like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. 

With AI Song Editing, the magic happens instantaneously and right in your browser so you can audition a track in seconds. Happy with an edit? Download it and pull it right into your project timeline, bypassing additional workstreams entirely.   

How will manipulating a track with AI Song Editing impact my rights to use it?

No matter how you arrange the sections of a song in the AI Song Editor, you retain the rights to use your edit just as you would the original recording, a stem, or any other asset included in your Soundstripe subscription. Our AI only breaks songs down into segments that remain recognizable, so rest assured that your custom edit will still be cleared by Content ID systems and copyright protection.
