Make your music: turn any description into a finished song
Describe a style, mood or subject in text and Udio produces a finished track with instrumentation and, if you want, vocals.
Push an idea further by adding sections, changing the progression or building out a longer arrangement from an existing clip.
Use inpaint to repair or replace a part of a song, and remix a track to explore a different direction without starting over.
Bring your own audio into Udio and apply its AI editing tools to your original recordings and stems.
