This move is about using technology to improve client outcomes and deliver value for the wider industry. It follows Tuned Global’s earlier acquisition of Pacemaker, known for pioneering AI-powered mixing technology, and reflects a clear strategy: acquiring companies whose innovation and IP help clients and the industry build the future of music technology and streaming. Integrating Figaro.ai strengthens Tuned Global’s ability to power premium, highly relevant music experiences at scale.
