Generate royalty-free music from text descriptions for any project. [Generate Music with API](https://modelslab-frontend-v2-927501783998.us-east4.run.app/register) [API Documentation](https://docs.modelslab.com) What Is the ModelsLab AI Music API? --- ### Generate Original Music from Text Descriptions The ModelsLab AI Music API generates original music compositions from natural language descriptions. Describe the genre, mood, tempo, instrumentation, and duration — the API returns a royalty-free audio file within seconds. Generated tracks are original compositions, not samples or loops, and are cleared for commercial use without licensing fees. The API supports text-to-music generation for full tracks and text-to-SFX for sound effects. Both endpoints accept detailed text prompts and return downloadable audio files in WAV or MP3 format. - Text-to-music: generate full compositions from natural language prompts - Text-to-SFX: create custom sound effects from text descriptions - Multiple genres — electronic, classical, ambient, hip-hop, jazz, cinematic, rock - Configurable parameters: BPM (60-200), duration (5-300 seconds), key, instruments - Royalty-free output — commercial use included, no licensing required - Audio output in WAV (uncompressed) and MP3 (compressed) formats ### How Does AI Music Generation Compare to Stock Music Libraries? Traditional stock music libraries charge per-track licensing fees ($15-$200 per track) and often have usage restrictions. AI music generation produces unlimited original tracks at pay-per-generation pricing — typically $0.02-$0.10 per track depending on duration. Each generated track is unique, eliminating the risk of another creator using the same music in a competing project. Unlike stock libraries, the ModelsLab Music API can generate variations programmatically — produce 10 different versions of a "upbeat corporate intro" and pick the best one, all through API calls. This makes it particularly efficient for A/B testing audio in advertising and for procedural game audio.
