AI isn’t just about writing anymore, it has entered the music industry too. You can now generate your own songs in seconds.
I tested Soundraw.io and will show you some key features, as well as pros and cons. I’ll also disclose the usage rights for your generated music.

How to Use It and My Experience
With Soundraw, you can create samples of music for free, without even signing in. Go to their website here. Click on “Try it for free”.
You should land here. With Soundraw, you can generate music by selecting your preferred settings, not promp-based.
Select the length, anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, and the tempo. Then you can choose the Genre and Theme for your tracks.
For the sake of testing, I selected “Trap” as my genre. In just seconds, the tool generated these tracks for me.
You can also do some modifications to the individual tracks. Select the track, and the mixer should pop up.
Your song is divided into blocks and you can edit each block to your liking by changing the intensity of melody, bass, drums, or adjusting the BPM and volume. The “Fills” allows you to edit transitions between sections.
If you’re not happy with the current tracks, you can generate as many as you want.
Generating your tracks is completely free, but if you wish to save or share them, you need to sign up.

To Take Home
Soundraw.io is an AI music tool that allows you to generate high-quality background tracks, royalty free. The tool has been trained with their in-house-created music only. This allows you to distribute your music freely (with the Artist plans). You can generate a track with Soundraw, then add your own vocals and download the finished product to Spotify or other platform.
Generating the tracks is completely free, but downloading and sharing them requires a subscription. Using the tool was very simple and required no prompt engineering. You get to choose from multiple genres and theme options, and the finished track can also be modified block by block. With the Free version, the editing options with the Mixer are quite limited, though.
The tracks generated are simple but would work as background music.
