Suno收购浏览器数字音频工作站WavTool
阅读原文· suno.com一年前的收购,现在看仍是 Suno 从消费级玩具迈向专业工具的关键一步,但新鲜度早没了,只适合补看脉络。
音乐技术公司Suno宣布收购完全在浏览器中构建的AI加速数字音频工作站WavTool。WavTool的核心团队将加入Suno并担任产品及工程领导职务。此次收购将WavTool的专业级编辑功能(支持VST插件、采样精确编辑等)与原生AI能力(如音轨分离、AI生成MIDI)整合到Suno平台,旨在增强对专业词曲作者和制作人的支持。Suno CEO表示,此举是为了更好地赋能音乐家,而WavTool联合创始人则认为双方在AI辅助音乐创作的愿景上高度一致。
Suno, a leading music technology company, today announced its recent acquisition of WavTool, an AI-accelerated digital audio workstation (DAW) built entirely in the browser. The deal brings WavTool’s advanced editing capabilities and core team into Suno, where they hold leadership positions in product and engineering.
Today’s news comes on the heels of Suno releasing its brand new editing interface earlier this month, including an advanced song editor, stem separation and enhanced audio uploads, all features that give artists more control over their creative process. The integration of WavTool’s technology will make Suno even more powerful for professional songwriters and producers, and continue to deepen Suno’s role in advancing music production.
“We’re finding that many of Suno’s early adopters are professional songwriters and producers who are seeing immense value in integrating AI into their creative process,” says Mikey Shulman, CEO and co-founder of Suno. “Our ultimate goal is to empower musicians, build tools that amplify human creativity and open up access to making great music. By bringing in WavTool’s elite DAW technology, and their team of experts, we’re in a position to better deliver on our mission.”
WavTool was the first browser-based DAW to combine professional-grade music production features (VST plugin support, sample-accurate editing, live recording, and more) with native AI capabilities such as stem separation, AI-generated MIDI, and an in-app chatbot for real-time music editing.
"Once we came to understand how Suno operates, and how aligned the Suno team is with our vision for AI in the music creation process, we knew joining forces was the right move,” said Sam Watkinson, co-founder and former CEO of WavTool. “It's a great privilege to be part of a team with such deep passion for music and a shared commitment to advance the future of music production – I can't wait to show off what we've been building together."
