This can generate multitrack song starters based on selectable musical parameters, such as genre, vocal style and instrumentation. As the creator, you can also provide lyrics and reference audio, and you can rework or replace any elements you\u2019re not happy with. Once you\u2019re satisfied, stems can be exported for use in any DAW.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-seasonal\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"49ee0039-c38b-488a-9ce2-b2bdd0a8541d-1\">There\u2019s another option, though, which is to give your Blueprint project to Layers. Co-developed with Aiode, this can \u2018listen\u2019 to it (or, indeed, any other musical content) and augment it with any other parts you might want.<\/p>\n<p>LANDR describes it as like having a roster of session musicians to call on whenever you need them, with different models covering guitar, bass, synths, horns, drums and more.<\/p>\n<p>Layers can also take any sample or recording and turn it into a full stem that we\u2019re told will work with any arrangement. \u201cAny sample can now fit any song,\u201d apparently.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-DVnKEK9A7iiANhS4pLJLSc\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-DVnKEK9A7iiANhS4pLJLSc slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Want all the hottest music and gear news, reviews, deals, features and more, direct to your inbox?
