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
  1. Song generation

    01

    Suno

    AI music generation platform for songs, stems, lyrics, and creative audio production.

    4.4

    The 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.

  2. Composition variation

    02

    Udio

    Licensed AI music platform pivoting from open generation to fan remixes.

    4.5

    Where 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.

  3. Royalty-free stems

    03

    Mubert

    AI-generated royalty-free music — endless streams of original background tracks.

    3.9

    For 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.

  4. Orchestral composition

    04

    AIVA

    AI music composer for soundtracks — create emotional, cinematic music for any project.

    4.1

    If 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.

  5. Vocal generation

    05

    ElevenLabs

    AI voice platform for speech generation, dubbing, voice cloning, sound effects, and conversational audio.

    Video & Audio
    Freemium
    4.7

    When you need a voice that isn't yours — backing vocals, spoken-word intros, multilingual versions. Clone a voice from a clip, generate new takes.

  6. Audio editing

    06

    Descript

    Transcript-based video editor with Underlord AI, avatars, and dubbing.

    Video & Audio
    Freemium
    4.4

    Audio editing via a transcript. Rearrange verses by dragging paragraphs. Way faster than Logic or Pro Tools for lyric-driven edits.
