Data Transfer Guide

Data transfer from Lyria to Soundraw is manual since both platforms lack direct integration. From Lyria, download audio files individually from Google's experimental tools or YouTube integrations—save them as WAV or MP3 for highest quality. Export any metadata (e.g., BPM, genre notes) manually into a spreadsheet. In Soundraw, you cannot import these audio files directly; instead, use them as references to recreate music. Soundraw's generator creates new tracks based on your inputs, so map Lyria's parameters to Soundraw's filters: match genres, adjust tempo sliders, and use the editor to approximate structure. Store original Lyria files separately for compliance, as licensing terms may differ.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Lyria to Soundraw?+
No direct transfer exists. You must manually export audio files from Lyria and use them as references to recreate music in Soundraw's generator, as Soundraw cannot import external audio files.
How long does migration take?+
For a solo user, expect 1-2 days to audit, recreate key tracks, and adapt workflows. Teams may need 3-5 days due to coordination and training on Soundraw's tools.
Will I lose any features switching to Soundraw?+
Yes, you'll lose AI-generated vocals, advanced melody transformation, and direct Google platform integrations. Soundraw focuses on royalty-free instrumental music with customizable presets.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, run Lyria and Soundraw in parallel while testing. However, note Lyria's licensing may restrict commercial use, so phase it out once Soundraw tracks are validated for your projects.
Is Soundraw cheaper than Lyria?+
Soundraw's freemium model offers transparent pricing, while Lyria requires contact for costs. For most creators, Soundraw is more affordable with clear commercial licensing, but lacks Lyria's advanced AI features.
