AIVA

What AIVA is

AIVA comes from Aiva Technologies and is one of the older AI composition tools still operating. It generates original music in a very wide range of styles, accepts uploaded audio or MIDI files so you can keep working on something you started elsewhere, and exports in several formats. Access is split across tiers, with commercial ownership described for the paid ones.

What you can do with it

• Compose original cues across many styles
• Upload audio or MIDI and keep editing
• Export in formats that fit your workflow
• Build theme music from scratch
• Develop existing sketches rather than losing them

Who it is for

• Film, game and advertising composers
• Musicians wanting sketching assistance
• Students learning arrangement patterns

What to watch out for

• Ownership depends on your tier; on lower plans the vendor may retain rights, so read the terms carefully
• Very wide style coverage comes with uneven quality between styles
• Registered works may create reporting obligations on some platforms
• Generated stems rarely meet release loudness standards without mastering
