Generating music

​

The form that works

Genre: [lo-fi, cinematic, electro, folk…]
Mood: [dark, warm, tense, joyful]
Instruments: [piano, strings, synths, light drums]
Tempo and energy: [slow, 90 bpm, rising energy]
Use: [background of a horror video, intro, cooking background]

​

Before / after

Music in the style of a famous film composer

Dark cinematic mood, low strings and slow pulse, tension building gradually, no vocals, slow tempo.

​

A song with lyrics

A cheerful pop song about a summer by the sea, in English, two verses and a chorus.

[Verse]
Warm sand under my bare feet
[Chorus]
We run to the sea, we never stop

​

Common mistakes

• An artist or song name: describe genre, tempo, instruments.
• Asking for a song without saying so: without “song” or lyrics, the track stays instrumental.
• Lyrics without structure: mark the verses and the chorus with [Verse] and [Chorus].
• A contradictory style (“calm and very energetic”): choose one direction.
• Wanting to change the music of an existing project here: for the editor, see Regenerating in the editor.

​

Settings that go with it

• Instrumental or With vocals, and Language for the lyrics.
• The generated track is found in “My music”, which you can reuse on a project or a series at no cost: see Voice, mascot and intros and outros.
• A cost is announced before sending: see Spending credits wisely.

Examples to copy

Relaxed lo-fi on piano, rain in the background, slow tempo, no vocals, for a cooking video.

Dark electro, deep bass, an ever faster pulse, energy building over the whole length, for a countdown.

Ukulele and hand claps, cheerful, fast tempo, game show opening energy.
