About Soundverse
Your AI music team, from idea to income.
Soundverse is an AI music creation platform. Its AI music agent, Agent One, plans the steps and runs the tools, from lyrics and songs to stems, cover art and music videos. AI Studio is its multitrack studio in the browser. Founded in 2023, Soundverse is headquartered in New York.
What Soundverse is
One path, from the first idea to income, in four steps.
Start with an idea
Describe what you want in plain language, and Agent One plans the steps and runs the tools.
Shape it in the studio
Open the results in AI Studio, a multitrack timeline in your browser, and keep working alone or with collaborators.
Plan the release
Turn the finished track into a day-by-day rollout, then find real playlists and write the pitches.
Earn from your sound
Make your Artist DNA public, set its export price, and earn a share when other people pay to export tracks made with it.
Who it is for
Creators
Describe the music your video, stream or podcast needs, and Agent One makes the song, the cover art and the music video.
Artists and producers
Record, play and produce in AI Studio, alone or with bandmates, then plan the release and pitch it to playlists. Train an Artist DNA on your own songs, and earn a share when others pay to export tracks made with it.
Brands and agencies
Generate music, vocals, sound effects and video for a campaign in one studio. For the Miss Universe India 2026 finale, Agent One produced an 11-track album from one brief.
Educators and learners
Learn by making. AI Studio runs in your browser, with built-in instruments to play and AI generation right on the timeline, and Soundverse has a Free plan for non-commercial use.
What makes it different
One agent runs the work
Agent One: describe what you want in plain language, and it plans the steps, then writes lyrics, generates songs and instrumentals, separates stems, and makes cover art and music videos. Every song it makes gets a title and cover art. It runs in Lite, Standard and Pro modes.
One studio, from idea to release
AI Studio: Soundverse's AI music studio, a multitrack timeline in your browser for audio, MIDI, video and image tracks, with AI generation right on the timeline. Record vocals, play built-in instruments and generate music, vocals, sound effects and video, then mix, master and export, alone or with collaborators.
Music Release Planner turns a track into a day-by-day rollout with a release day and pre-save and pitch deadlines. Playlist Pitch Generator finds real playlists and writes the pitches.
Artist DNA, with consent and payouts
Artist DNA: a style model trained on a creator's own songs. Generate songs, instrumentals or vocals in a creator's sound, or train a DNA on your own music. Training starts only after you confirm you own the music or have explicit permission to use it.
Make your Artist DNA public and set its export price. When other people pay to export tracks made with it, a share of each payment is reserved for you and paid out to you.
Trace and Copyright Checker
Trace: Soundverse's music similarity search. It compares songs on separate layers, from the full mix and individual stems to sections, melody, lyrics and style, for one pair of songs or whole catalogs. It is built for labels, publishers, platforms and creators, and has its own endpoints on the Soundverse Enterprise API.
Copyright Checker: checks whether your track matches a released recording, with title, artist, label and ISRC where known.
What we believe
Principles we hold ourselves to. They are beliefs, not product promises.
Artists lead. AI does the legwork.
We believe AI should take the busywork of making music off the people making it, so their time goes into the choices only they can make.
An artist's sound belongs to the artist.
We believe no one's voice or style should be modelled without their consent, and that artists should share in what their sound earns.
Music should carry its story.
We believe a track should keep a record of where it came from and who shaped it, so the people behind it can be credited and paid.
Anyone with an idea can start.
We believe making a song shouldn't depend on training, gear or budget.
