Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What’s an AI music generator?

An AI music generator is a handy tool that creates music using artificial intelligence. Instead of writing songs yourself or playing instruments, you simply provide a prompt or description, and the AI produces a soundtrack based on that input. This tool saves time and effort, allowing anyone to produce quality audio without extensive musical knowledge or experience.

How does the AI music generator work?

  • AI music generators use machine learning models trained on large datasets of existing songs. When you enter a text prompt such as “uplifting piano track” or “slow, dramatic beat,” the AI analyzes that input and creates an original music composition that matches the style or mood you described. 
  • The process usually takes just a few minutes. You can use the generated track immediately in your content, and Captions allows you to adjust the volume and placement with simple settings.

Do I need musical experience to use Captions’ AI music generator?

  • No — you don’t need any musical background to use an AI music generator. This tool is designed for simplicity, so you only need to describe the type of music you want. For instance, you could type phrases like “calm background jazz” or “high-energy electronic beat,” and AI will take care of the rest. 
  • This makes it an ideal solution for creators seeking original audio without the hassle of learning complicated music software or hiring a composer.

Can I customize the music generated by the AI?

Yes — with Captions’ AI music generator, you can easily customize your track to match your content. After creating music from a text prompt, you can adjust the volume, shorten the track, or move it along the timeline so it plays at just the right moment in your video. If the song still isn’t the perfect fit, write a new prompt or regenerate the track to explore different versions.

What types of music can I generate?

  • With Captions’ AI music generator, you can create various music styles, including:
    • Pop
    • Hip-hop
    • Lo-fi
    • Classical
    • Cinematic
    • Electronic
    • Jazz
    • Ambient
    • Country
  • To customize these tracks further, you can describe the mood, tempo, and instrumentation directly in your prompt. Captions uses this information to generate music that fits your ideal tone, giving you creative control without needing technical skills.

Can Captions’ AI music generator create background music for videos?

  • Yes — with Captions, you can generate and apply background music directly to your video projects, all in one place. After uploading or recording a video, simply use the music generation feature to create a soundtrack that matches your content’s tone and style.
  • Once the music is ready, you can drop it onto your timeline, choose exactly where it plays, adjust the volume, and trim it to fit your edit. Captions streamlines the entire process, helping your videos sound polished and ready to share — no extra tools needed.
