Data Transfer Guide
AIVA doesn't offer project file exports, so data transfer focuses on downloading your generated music files. In AIVA, navigate to 'My Creations,' select tracks, and download them as MP3 or WAV files. Organize these locally by project or date. For Soundraw, you cannot import these files—instead, use them as references to recreate similar music. Note the BPM, key, mood, and instruments from your AIVA tracks, then use Soundraw's generator to create comparable pieces. Soundraw's customization options are more granular than AIVA's, allowing you to adjust sections and instruments after generation. Keep your AIVA downloads as backups while transitioning.
