Please, Don’t Stop the Music: AI Apps For Musicians

12 May 2024

Proceed with caution: These apps might shake up your musical experience, so close your eyes if AI scares you. But remember, now AI is everywhere: in film industry (the first AI Film Festival was held in Dubai this February), in charity, and more.

AI music makers are crushing it right now. Amidst this digital revelation, a host of AI tools have quietly emerged, poised to redefine how we craft music. We have made a list of useful AI apps to create that iconic sound.

Suno

Ever wanted to hear “Hello” by Adele as a rock song? Now is your chance. This ingenious online platform listens to you — whether it is using the text field to input lyrics already written or ones created by a popular artist, Sumo weaves them into perfect harmonies and rhythms.

Take your time to listen, feel, and connect with each rendition, until you find the one that resonates with your soul. And here is the best part — Suno AI isn't just a one-trick pony. While it gives you complete songs right out of the box, you can further refine and customise them using your favourite digital audio workstation (DAW) or professional editing tools.

Udio

Think of Udio as your personal AI artist, ready to bring your musical ideas to life. With Udio, you are in the driver's seat — you can provide a general idea and let Udio work its magic or dive into the nitty-gritty details.

But here is the exciting part: Udio doesn't just stop at creating music; it adds lyrics and vocals too. And let me tell you, these vocals sound incredibly real, packing in all the emotion you would expect from a human singer. By default, Udio generates 30-second clips, but you can always extend them, adding more time, intros, and outros to tailor your creation just the way you want it. However, keep in mind that Udio sets a maximum song length of around 90 seconds, ensuring your musical snippets are short and sweet.

The AI Music Generator from Loudly is like having a musical collaborator at your fingertips. It is an AI tool that helps you craft your own original tunes. All you need to do is pick a genre and decide how long you want your music to be, and voilà! In just a few seconds, the AI system whips up a unique track just for you.

This tool isn't just about making music; it is about boosting your creativity. By taking care of the music creation process, it frees you up to focus on other aspects of your video production or content creation.

WavTool

WavTool is a clever AI assistant that helps you with MIDI sequences. Whether you are starting from scratch or just need a nudge, this assistant can generate material based on a few notes or even come up with its own ideas. And here is the kicker: if you have got some audio recordings lying around, WavTool can turn them into MIDI too. It is like having your own personal studio, accessible anytime, anywhere.

But that is not all. WavTool comes with a Conductor, a friendly chat bot that is not only a music theory guru but can also lend a hand in tweaking your creations. And when we say "complete," we mean it. Sure, it might not have all the bells and whistles of big-name DAWs like Logic or Ableton, but you can do everything from recording to mastering right here. Plus, you can whip up beats and samples just by typing out a few words.
