Type a description of the music you’d like to generate or select from preset terms and tap the prompt magic feature to turn it into a rich text description. Musicians with existing melodies can upload their own audio files. SoundGen will use the text description to transform the uploaded audio into the preferred style. Short clips can be extended into longer tracks in the same style. Users can import videos and write descriptions of what they see in the video, and SoundGen will create music for them.
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with a detailed description of a music idea. To solve this, SoundGen provides a list of terms you can pick from. You can expand on them with your own thoughts or take your best stab at writing something from scratch. Once you have a sentence or two, use the magic prompt tool to generate a full paragraph describing the music you’re requesting in seconds flat.
