For decades, unfinished recordings have remained lost due to poor sound quality, but new technology is changing that. At the Grammys, The Beatles’ song “Now and Then” won Best Rock Performance, making history as the first track enhanced by AI to receive the award. But why was AI needed? The song was originally a rough demo recorded by John Lennon, with unclear vocals buried under noise. The band had attempted to fix it in the 1990s, but the tools available at the time couldn’t clean up the sound. How did they finally complete it? In 2022, inspired by the “Get Back” documentary, they used advanced noise reduction technology, similar to what Zoom and FaceTime use to remove background noise, to isolate and restore Lennon’s voice. This breakthrough allowed Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to finish the song, blending old memories with modern innovation—leading to a historic Grammy win. 🚀
