Radio imaging, voiceover, programming, podcasting and jingles producer Benztown says it has become the first imaging library company to bring the benefits of advanced Artificial
Intelligence (AI) technology to audio producers.
How so?
Benztown has launched an AI-based imaging library platform.
Benztown says its AI-powered search functionality “allows audio producers to quickly and
easily find audio in Benztown’s imaging libraries, leaving behind now-dated and more
time-consuming search methods using metadata, which is the current industry
standard. Users are able to upload any audio file (mp3 or wav) to the library, or paste a
link from YouTube, SoundCloud, or Vimeo into the search field, and find files in
Benztown’s imaging libraries that are similar to the example provided.”
The new AI platform downloads the audio file in the background and ingests it to the audio
player, allowing the user to generate similar results based on the entire audio file, or a
specific time selection of the file.
The feature uses machine learning to identify potential tracks based on an example.
Any given track will have a multitude of identifying characteristics, similar to a
fingerprint. These characteristics are compared to thousands of other tracks in the
library to determine possible matches. Recently, Google announced a “hum to search”
feature enabling people to pinpoint songs by simply humming part of a track and
Benztown’s new AI technology works in a similar way.
