AI audio tools have arrived. From music generation to voice cloning to sound design β here's how to use them and what actually works.
AI music tools
Best for full songs with lyrics. Describe genre, mood, and style. Remarkably good vocals. Free tier available.
Similar to Suno, strong on production quality. Good for instrumentals and genre exploration.
Better for longer-form instrumentals and sound design. More control over structure.
Open source, run locally or in browser. Good for shorter clips, fully free.
How to prompt for music
"Lo-fi hip hop, melancholic, 75 BPM, rainy afternoon, vinyl crackle, jazz piano chords"
"Influenced by Boards of Canada, ambient electronic, slow evolving textures, nostalgic, slightly unsettling"
"Background music for a product demo video. Upbeat but not distracting. Modern tech company feel. No lyrics."
"Starts quiet and introspective (piano only), builds over 2 minutes, ends with full orchestral swell. Cinematic."
AI voice tools
Best text-to-speech quality. Voice cloning, multilingual, realistic emotion. Free tier is generous.
Fast and clean via API. 6 voices, good for production use. Cheap at scale.
Edit audio like a document. Voice cloning for overdubs, podcast editing, transcription.
Best-in-class transcription. Open source, runs locally. Use for any audio-to-text task.
