§ Recipe
Music production with AI.
AI music is good enough now that the hard part isn't generation — it's taste. These tools each cover a different phase of production, and knowing when to hand off matters more than which model you picked.
Indie
Song generation
01The fastest path from a lyric idea or mood to a full track with vocals. Not studio-grade, but the best starting point for experimenting with structure and melody.
Composition variation
02Udio
Licensed AI music platform pivoting from open generation to fan remixes.
Music & AudioFreemium4.5Where Suno is good at pop-coherent songs, Udio is better at genre fidelity and subtle variations. Use both, pick the one that serves the track you have in your head.
Royalty-free stems
03Mubert
AI-generated royalty-free music — endless streams of original background tracks.
Music & AudioFreemium3.9For when you need a specific instrument or loop — drum breaks, ambient pads, bass lines. Mubert generates them as stems you can drop into your DAW.
Orchestral composition
04AIVA
AI music composer for soundtracks — create emotional, cinematic music for any project.
Music & AudioFreemium4.1If your track needs strings, brass, or a cinematic score, AIVA is the one tool that produces actual music-theory-correct orchestral arrangements. Specialized but unmatched.
Vocal generation
05ElevenLabs
AI voice platform for text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, and conversational audio.
Video & AudioFreemium4.7When you need a voice that isn't yours — backing vocals, spoken-word intros, multilingual versions. Clone a voice from a clip, generate new takes.
Audio editing
06Descript
Transcript-based video editor with Underlord AI, avatars, and dubbing.
Video & AudioFreemium4.4Audio editing via a transcript. Rearrange verses by dragging paragraphs. Way faster than Logic or Pro Tools for lyric-driven edits.
