Works well for

  • Background music for Reels and Shorts
  • Study and focus loops
  • Jingles and podcast beds
  • Songs from your own lyrics
  • Game and app soundtracks
  • World-music textures for videos

Check before you rely on it

  • Vocals and lyric clarity are still being judged by ear; check that every line is sung in order.
  • Named regional instruments may blend into a generic sound.
  • Delivered as WAV (the MP3 writer failed on this machine); files are large, about 10 MB per minute.

Get the best result

The prompt and the model decide the output; bigger models and settings cost more credits. These notes come from what worked, and what did not, in our runs.

Do

  • List genre, mood and 3-5 instruments in plain words: 'lo-fi hip hop, warm vinyl crackle, soft piano, mellow drums'.
  • Write 'instrumental, no vocals' for background music so no voice leaks in.
  • Mark lyric sections ([Verse 1], [Chorus]) so the song gets a clear structure.
  • Set a tempo (BPM) when the track must match a video's cuts.

Avoid

  • Name real artists or songs; describe the sound instead.
  • Expect rare instruments to be exact: listen for whether each named instrument is really there.
