“We had John’s voice and a piano and he could separate them with AI. They tell the machine, ‘That’s the voice. This is a guitar. Lose the guitar,” McCartney told the BBC. Once the extraction was done, the vocals then mixed into a finished song. Notably, the original version was stored on a cassette tape, with additional piano tunes recorded via a boombox.
“We were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through AI, so we could mix the record, as you would normally do,” he said. McCartney is also aware of the trend where AI engines were used to generate a Beatles song. “All of that, it’s kind of scary but exciting, because it’s the future,” McCartney said regarding the trend, but he added there are a few concerning aspects to it, too.
However, this won’t be the first time Beatles and AI have appeared in the same equation. Earlier this year, an AI-generated song “reuniting” McCartney and Lennon singing together made waves on the internet. Titled “New,” the deep fake track was created by Dae Lims, who has also released several other AI tracks featuring McCartney’s voice.
Recently, musician Grimes announced that anyone is open to creating a likeness of her voice using AI and that the proceeds will be shared between both parties without any copyright issues. Facebook also released a model earlier this month that generates tunes from text descriptions.
