How to Make AI Music

Artificial intelligence has completely revolutionized the way music is created, produced, and distributed. In 2026, AI music creation is no longer an experimental novelty but a core production technique used by musicians, producers, and even indie creators worldwide. Whether you're crafting ambient soundscapes for videos, producing game soundtracks, or making catchy electronic beats, understanding how to make AI music can dramatically expand your creative potential.

What is AI Music Creation?

AI music creation is the process of using algorithms and machine learning models to compose, arrange, and produce music. Instead of manually playing instruments or programming MIDI notes, creators describe what they want — such as genre, mood, instruments, or energy level — and the AI system generates music that matches those parameters.

AI composing software and machine learning music production tools leverage large datasets of musical structures and styles. These tools can analyze patterns in rhythm, harmony, and instrumentation across countless compositions, and then use that knowledge to generate new, original tracks.

Popular categories of AI-generated music include:

1. Instrumental background tracks.
2. Lo-fi and ambient soundscapes.
3. Cinematic and emotional compositions.
4. Game and film scores.
5. Advertising and commercial jingles.

Why Create Music with Artificial Intelligence?

There are several reasons musicians choose AI for music production:

• Speed: AI tools can create full-length compositions in minutes.
• Creativity Boost: They help overcome creative blocks by producing fresh ideas based on text descriptions.
• Versatility: They can generate nearly any style, instrument setup, or vibe.
• Accessibility: Even beginners can create professional-sounding music without formal training.

In previous years (2024 and 2025), the focus was largely on AI-assisted songwriting. By 2026, the movement has matured into intelligent co-production, where AI systems such as Soundverse serve as real creative partners rather than just novelty tools.

What Do You Need to Make AI-Generated Songs?

To begin creating AI music, you need three main components:

1. Text Prompts or Descriptions: A clear vision of your desired music — e.g., "ambient electronic track with soft synth pads and distant textures."
2. AI Music Tools: Platforms that translate text into sound, such as Soundverse's AI Music Generator or other systems like AIVA, Amper Music, or Boomy.
3. Editing and Mixing Skills: Basic audio production tools like DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) where you can refine, layer, and polish the output.

How Does Machine Learning Music Production Work?

Machine learning music production uses neural networks trained on diverse musical datasets. These systems identify patterns like chord progressions, melodic intervals, rhythmic timing, and dynamic modulation. When given a text prompt, the model produces sound that fits those characteristics.

AI composing software typically goes through several stages:

• Analysis: Understanding musical features from existing libraries.
• Generation: Creating new musical ideas based on learned structures.
• Refinement: Applying genre-specific balancing, instrumentation, and mixing effects.

The result feels remarkably close to human-made compositions. Some tools even support emotion-based generation, where you can request music that feels "hopeful," "mysterious," or "energetic." Soundverse’s text-to-music capability, explained further below, is an example of such innovation.

How to Make AI Music Step-by-Step (2026 Edition)

Let’s walk through how to make AI music using advanced technology available in 2026. This general method applies to most AI tools, but we’ll focus on Soundverse’s workflow later.

Step 1: Feature Overview

Access the AI Music Generator from Soundverse’s main menu. This tool is dedicated to creating instrumental music without vocals, optimized for looping, games, and background soundscapes. For a deeper dive, watch our Soundverse Tutorial Series - 9: How to Make Music.

Step 2: Description Input

Enter your text description of the desired music. For example, you might type: “An epic fantasy soundtrack with orchestral strings, deep percussion, and ambient synth layers.” The AI will interpret your text into a suitable musical composition.

Step 3: Style & Duration

Select the music style and duration for your track. Genres, moods, and instrument types can be customized. For shorter loops, choose durations like 15–30 seconds with Loop Mode enabled to create seamless repetitions.

Step 4: Generation

Click Generate to let the AI process your description. The system composes, arranges, and mixes the entire instrumental automatically. This process is asynchronous — you upload your text, and the AI returns the completed result after processing.

Step 5: Export Options

When satisfied, download the generated instrumental directly. You can use it in video editing software, game engines, podcasts, or any commercial project.

What Makes AI Composing Software Effective?

Good AI composing software balances creativity and precision. The top-performing models use advanced generation frameworks that understand musical context rather than producing random sounds.

Important characteristics of effective AI music creation tools:

• Genre Control: Ability to switch between styles like jazz, ambient, or electronic seamlessly.
• Mood Customization: Create energetic, relaxing, or cinematic tracks based on descriptions.
• Instrument Definition: Specify exact instruments you want — drums, piano, synth pads, or acoustic guitar.
• Looping Functionality: Perfect for generating continuous soundtracks that don’t abruptly end.

For example, Soundverse provides both V4 and V5 model options to refine musical accuracy and tone. These upgrades enable deeper genre-mapping and sound complexity compared to earlier versions.

You can also explore related AI tools including the AI Lyrics Writer for songwriting and the AI Singing Generator, which adds AI-generated vocals once your instrumental track is done. To learn more workflows, view our Soundverse Tutorial Series - 10: Make Deep House Music.
