YouTube is constantly testing new, experimental features. This feature is currently only available to a limited set of creators in the United States. The limited experiment is intended to ensure we are taking the proper steps to learn and build for any future iterations of the product.
Global audiences can use the soundtracks as-is to remix them into their own Shorts.
Dream Track is a suite of experimental tools that enable creators to generate unique music for their Shorts. We believe this will foster a thriving ecosystem that benefits artists, creators, and fans. Our first experiment in Shorts involved a partnership with select artists and their AI-generated artist voices. Now we're adding another option to generate instrumental-only tracks in Shorts with the help of AI.
How it works
The tool is embedded in the Short Creation tools and allows you to simply type in what you want to say to create an AI-generated song inspired by one of your favorite artists or instrumental-only tracks. You can share the soundtrack with your audience and they can create their own remixes from it. The AI-generated soundtracks will have a text label indicating that they were created with Dream Track.
