Questions

A few things to know.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Your account is free; generating music requires purchased credits or a membership. Purchased top-up credits never expire.

What can I export?

A membership includes WAV, separated stems and MIDI transcribed from stems. Take them into your DAW for the final mix and master. Pay-as-you-go includes standard-quality downloads.

Can I release the music commercially?

Membership includes a worldwide, non-exclusive commercial licence for generated audio. Without membership, output is for personal, non-commercial use. You retain ownership of the prompts and lyrics you write.

What if a generation fails?
