This week, we hosted autodesk and Red Wolfe Media here at Stage 10. We love exploring research collaborations with innovative partners like these two.
Great discussions were had on AI's role in education, how virtual production can be integrated into an existing workflow.

Our software team recently completed a project where the goal was to create a prototype for a system that could automate modifications to existing music tracks. This included stem splitting, tempo changes, key shift and various mode changes. Glad with how it turned out!
