There are all kinds of music generators. Some require a tiny bit of music knowledge from the users and others allow you to take an existing work and customize it to a unique royalty-free tune.
Ecrett Music is a service that allows you to customize music using AI and then use it in your content.
This is a demo created by the company:
Basically, you select the the features you want in your music, such as setting, mood and type of music. Hit the create button and you have a tune for your video or podcast.
If you like it, you can do more tweaking with the length and other enhancements.
Who is this Service For?
Podcasters who want to create but don't have music skills. They know what they like and don't like. Just can't create it.
Gamers who need background music or game programmers that want to test things out.
Video creators that need a variety of tunes on a regular basis and are not wealthy.
Some Concerns
A little digging kind of answered some of my concerns.
- You do not own the music. You are given a license to use the music generated by the service. The music is owned by the parent company Soundraw.
- As a free user, you can't use the music for any reason or purpose other than evaluate the service.
- If you decide to cancel the service, you still retain usage of music you downloaded to your device. But you will no longer have access to music you did not download before cancellation.
- More info can be found on their terms of service page.
Pricing Plans
Ecrett Music is one of the most affordable plans I've seen for AI Royalty Free music. There is a free plan to test out the service however, you can't do anything with it.
Zippo. Nada. Nothing but evaluate the service. And if you do the words "liable" appear some place on the website.
If you sign up for the annual subscription rate it is $5 a month. $60 a year for an individual creator.
If you are a business creator rate $20 a month and $240 a year. For full, unrestricted access.
So it is a winner?
Not prepared to go that far. On the surface it seems okay. It is all I can do not to whip out the card.
Ecrett Music provides a template that locks you into viable options to create music. This isn't a bad thing, especially if you have no music training. And you can quickly have what you want within a couple of clicks. That is remarkable.
Most of the current AI services use humans to create the foundation for the AI composed music. The AI makes alterations to create unique tunes. But there is no Bippity Bop. No swangg. There is something I can hear when I listen to AI music. Or what I don't hear.
Background music shouldn't have that much oomf, if any. I understand that. But I can here the void. Not hating on this company or any AI music company. It is a subjective feeling of the tunes musically needs some salt or a touch of cayenne.
You might feel differently about it.
You are not going to score a major motion picture with this service. But for users who are on a budget or want to experiment with crafting tunes for social media, this could be a keeper.
