Website for music

Hi guys,

I just stumbled across what seems to be a great website that uses AI to create royalty free music for your games.

Seems worth a try, what do you think?

Seems to suffer from a lot of obvious problems. The first big one is that the instrumentation itself soundsā€¦ awful. Itā€™s very ā€œfirst time using a Casio so Iā€™m just hammering on the keys.ā€ After that, it seems that each genre has a super limited range of basslines itā€™ll produce, same with drums. Itā€™s nice they have a built in level mixer, but itā€™s not really meaningfully robust past that.

Also, adjusting the tempo completely annihilates the key the music is being played in.

I could see this as being useful for maybe some brainstorming sessions, maybe to draw an element from, but I wouldnā€™t put this in a game unless it was just for placeholder reasons or elevator music.

Yeah, I mean itā€™s not a full composition suite, but seems pretty decent from a gamejam POV at least. I was quite impressed but then Iā€™ve only messed around with garage band once or twice.

Iā€™m monitoring these offering, and none seems to have a method to analyse semantics of the music, they are all more or less fancy statistical accumulator or rules constraining algorithm, itā€™s always going to be limited. The best one have a vague mood tagging, but generally donā€™t analyse how mood is composed along the sequence. Basically they lack intentionality, because they see generation as random.

THis is one looks more like a mad lib though

Neat, but I prefer the more fine-tuneable controls of a sequencer application.

Iā€™m going to check out that site now.:slight_smile:

Way too boring for me. Music is by far the easiest and cheapest way to build the atmosphere of a game, as an indie youā€™re shooting yourself in the foot if youā€™re not searching out really great stuff.

Iā€™ve been looking for an easy way to get decent quality sound for a long time now.

This is not it.

Tough audience.

Everyoneā€™s AA graphics and sound engineers now!

Or, you know, just has a passing understanding of aesthetics.

Itā€™s just too easy to buy good quality music from audio jungle.

Donā€™t you dare tell me about aesthetics! I havenā€™t fallen in love with the arrangement of simple geometric shapes since playing ā€˜Thomas was aloneā€™ :wink: <3 <3
