Create the perfect atmosphere by adding music to your video, ad, or podcast. With the right beat, you’ll enhance your storytelling and even get stuck in your listeners’ minds with your catchy jingle. I create guided meditations and having the right music can make or break my listener’s relaxing experience.
The trouble is that stock music licenses are pricey and hiring a producer even more so. If you attempt your own tracks, it’s an incredibly technical learning experience.
Using music that’s low quality or unsuitable for your messaging decreases listener engagement and confuses customers, not to mention wasting precious budget and project time.
AI’s ability to help you make and edit music is getting more advanced. With the right tools you can generate brand new tracks to fit your project or edit audio with automated effects—no learning curve required.
Here’s a list of our favorite music tools to simplify your music production workflow.
