SoundCloud integrated nine third-party AI music creation tools into its platform, allowing artists and fans to generate, remix, or produce music using AI and upload it directly to SoundCloud. The first three integrations — Fadr, Soundful, and Voice-Swap — launched in January 2024, followed by six more tools in November 2024.
Details
The nine integrated tools span a range of generative AI music functions: Fadr enables mashups and remixes; Soundful generates studio-quality original music; Voice-Swap transforms vocal stems to match licensed artist voices using generative AI; Tuney enables remixing and new track generation; Tutti enables licensed-music remixing; AlBeatz generates and customizes beats; TwoShot creates custom samples; Starmony supports fan music creation by voice; ACE Studio generates singing vocals from MIDI and lyrics; and Lemonaide generates melodies and chords. Each tool includes a built-in 'Upload to SoundCloud' option, and tracks uploaded via these tools are automatically tagged to identify which tool was used. SoundCloud's Next Pro subscribers receive discounts and free trials for all nine tools.

The system surfaces tracks in playlists, autoplay queues, and personalized feeds across the platform.RecommendationSoundCloud deployed an AI feature called First Fans that automatically recommends newly uploaded tracks to listeners most likely to enjoy them, even before a song has accumulated any plays. The feature is available to Artist and Artist Pro subscribers on the platform.OtherSoundCloud updated its Terms of Service in February 2024 to include language stating that users agree their content may be used to 'inform, train, develop or serve as input to artificial intelligence' as part of providing the platform's services. Following public backlash in May 2025, SoundCloud's CEO issued a letter clarifying that no user content had been used to train generative AI models, and the company revised its terms to explicitly prohibit training generative AI on user content without opt-in consent.
