I run a company that tries to solve your problem!

We haven’t done a big public launch yet - but we use AI techniques to compose work for existing clients (think businesses + Youtube video creators).

We try to take all friction out of the process.

Here’s how it works: You send link to your video. Tell us what emotions you want / any requirements (we have a simple form). Our AI engine then structures and creates a song exclusively for you (no royalties / copyright). We then have our in-house composers make final adjustments and sync it perfectly w/ your video. We price a lot less than normal composition studios due to the AI piece.

Trying to talk to as many customers as possible. If I could ask you a few questions or if you want to be a beta customer please email me at: [email protected] I’d greatly appreciate it!

FYI: Our typical rate is $200 for original soundtrack for up to 3 minute video + $25 for each additional minute. Includes the composition and syncing to the video with intros / fade-outs, etc. Comes with exclusive life-time license to the track. We currently have clients paying at many different price points, so still trying to figure out the right one.

What if a client does not like the result?

We deliver a demo first. Clients can then request any changes before we lock it in as final. Clients can also send links to music they like and we try to achieve a similar sound.

It's a good point though - we work on a small scale now. We haven't thought through all the details once we start taking new clients. One free revision seems like our most likely approach.

If you have to employ composers, why do you need AI? I’m guessing you can hire 3 composers for the salary of a single ML engineer.

I'll hazard it's because they can produce more volume if they're just doing corrections and syncing
