Key Features

Tips & Tricks

TIP

Always generate at least 5 variations of a promising track. The 3rd or 4th one is often the magic fit.

TIP

Use the 'Short' length filter first to quickly audition ideas, then generate your full-length version.

TIP

Mute the melody stem in the editor when scoring dialogue-heavy scenes; the rhythm beds are perfect.

TIP

Save your favorite parameter combos (e.g., Cinematic + Dark + 120 BPM) as a mental template for future projects.

TIP

Download the WAV, not MP3. The quality difference is noticeable in professional video editing software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Soundraw tracks in commercial projects for clients?+
Yes, absolutely. The standard license included with all paid downloads grants you and your clients lifetime, worldwide, royalty-free commercial rights. You do not need to credit Soundraw, but attribution is appreciated.
How unique are the AI-generated tracks? Could someone else get the same one?+
The generation is random based on your parameters. While it's statistically possible, it's highly unlikely. In my daily use, I've never encountered a duplicate, and the editor lets you customize any track to make it truly yours.
Is the free plan worth using for a serious project?+
Only for internal mock-ups. The audio watermark is prominent. For any published work, you need a paid plan. Use the free plan solely to test the AI's style and see if it fits your workflow before committing.
Can I edit the tracks in my own DAW like Ableton or Logic?+
Yes, but only as a final WAV file. You cannot download separated stems or MIDI files. All editing of individual instrument levels and structure must be done within Soundraw's own browser-based editor first.
What's the biggest mistake beginners make with Soundraw?+
Being too vague with their initial filters. 'Happy' and 'Pop' will give you generic results. Combine specific genres like 'Synthwave' with nuanced moods like 'Nostalgic' for far more interesting and usable tracks immediately.
