Select YouTube creators can now produce their own remixes of existing songs.
YouTube has announced a new feature for its AI-powered Dream Track tool that
allows individuals to "restyle" a song and create a 30-second tune to use in
a Short.

Creators in the experiment group for this feature can choose from eligible
songs and then give an explanation to AI about how they want to remix it.
These changes could focus on giving the song a different genre or mood ΓÇö
whatever twist they're imagining. From there a new song gets produced "that
reimagines the music while maintaining the essence of the original songΓÇÖs
vocals and lyrics," YouTube's announcement states. "These restyled
soundtracks will have clear attribution to the original song through the
Short itself and the Shorts audio pivot page, and will also clearly indicate
that the track was restyled with AI."

YouTube rolled out Dream Track in November 2023, powered by Google DeepMind's
Lyria model. It allowed a select group of US creators to make songs using the
AI-generated voices of participating artists. The feature included a deal
with Universal Music Group and partnerships with a slew of musicians,
including John Legend, Charli XCX and Troye Sivan. It has expanded its
availability to all US creators in the year since.
