When music meets artificial intelligence: 5 tools for musicians and composers

Elizabeth Smith

In the digital age in which we live, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising many industries, including music.

By combining advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities, AI-based tools are able to generate and manipulate sounds and lyrics, creating new creative opportunities for artists and music producers.

In this article, we explore some of the most innovative tools for creating music with artificial intelligence.

The best tools for creating music with artificial intelligence

These AI-based platforms simplify the process of music composition, production and manipulation, allowing anyone, even those without musical experience, to explore their creative potential.

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, the future of music will undoubtedly be increasingly influenced by technologies of this type, so it is good to be aware of them.

Mubert AI

Mubert is an innovative platform that uses algorithms to generate music based on text descriptions. It is not natural language like ChatGPT, but it comes close to this type of technology.

However, since the music produced is strictly instrumental, it can be difficult to assess whether our instructions have been followed to the letter or whether the algorithm has proposed songs based on its internal preferences.

Nevertheless, Mubert offers the possibility of generating music in a wide range of genres, ranging from electronic to classical music. Furthermore, it is possible to explore different moods and obtain tracks that fit your mood.

Boomy

Boomy is another cutting-edge tool that uses artificial intelligence to create music. Users can create customised music tracks using a wide range of styles, genres and instruments.

Boomy also offers a ‘remix’ function that allows users to manipulate and customise existing tracks. Thanks to its advanced algorithms, Boomy simplifies the music composition process and offers an accessible experience even for those without musical experience.

Aiva

Launched in 2016, this innovative platform has been steadily refined to create soundtracks for commercials, video games, films and more.

Its first release, entitled Opus 1 for Solo Piano, marked the beginning of AIVA’s journey into the field of music composition. Over the years, AIVA has released an album and composed music for a video game.

Thanks to its advanced tools, it is possible to create new music tracks or variations of existing tracks, including tracks for soundtracks, without worrying about licences.

The platform also offers predefined music formats and styles that greatly simplify the work process. In addition, for those who are more experienced, a customisable editor is available.

However, there is a limit. The songs created cannot exceed 3 minutes in length and, in addition, the copyright belongs to AIVA, unless you subscribe to a premium plan starting at EUR 11 per month.

Song Lyrics Generator

Song Lyrics Generator is a music lyrics generator, also known as Masterpiece Generator. This tool is completely free of charge and offers a constant flow of ideas for songs and poems.

You can choose from freestyle songs, line-by-line compositions or even try to imitate the style of famous artists such as Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift.

The operation is simple. Just fill in a questionnaire with multiple-choice answers. However, it should be emphasised that one should not expect impressive lyrics.

Soundraw

Using artificial intelligence, Soundraw supports content creators in selecting background music for their videos.

The main goal of Soundraw is to offer an alternative to traditional music libraries, simplifying the search for the perfect piece of music and solving copyright issues.

Thanks to AI, creators have the possibility to customise settings,. Thus selecting a specific mood or theme, resulting in a unique instrumental track specifically created for their needs.

The free version of the platform allows music tracks with a maximum duration of 5 minutes, offering a wide range of possibilities for content creation.

Voicemod

Voicemod is a powerful AI music generator that can create songs based on user-supplied lyrics.

Once the desired type of song has been selected, with the possibility to range between various musical genres, one can also choose from seven different singers, with voices ranging from soprano to country singer.

The user is responsible for writing the lyrics of the song. But the good news is that Voicemod does not impose strict rules and you have the freedom to sing what you want.

After receiving all the necessary input, the ‘generator’ takes only a minute or two to create a short, catchy ditty.
