Google Flow Music lets musicians build their own instruments by describing them in plain words
Google Flow Music has a new feature, Spaces, that lets people describe a sound instrument or effect in everyday language and then use it in music software.
What's new
Google has updated Flow Music, its music service. Users can now create their own musical instruments and sound effects in it. No programming skills are needed: you just describe what you want in plain language.
This works in a feature called Spaces. Every musician works differently, so Spaces lets people shape an instrument around their own way of working and style.
How to use it in the studio
The most important news for producers is that instruments made in Spaces can be exported as VST3 or AU plugins. These are standard add-ons that connect to music recording and mixing programs, known as DAWs. This means a finished instrument can be used in the same program where the track is already being produced.
As an example, Google points to producer Khris Riddick-Tynes. He created a plugin called "No Chaser." Its purpose is to make instrumentals and vocals sound clean and studio-quality, no matter where they were recorded.
