The AI Music Tool: Generate Original Tracks on WorkCrafter
How to use WorkCrafter's AI music generator — the Standard, Balanced and Ultra engines, writing a caption and lyrics, setting duration and BPM, credit costs and tips.

The music tool generates original tracks from a text description — background music for videos, intros, ads, loops and mood pieces. This guide covers the engines and how to describe a track so you get something you'd actually use.
The music engines
- Automatic (recommended): a good all-round engine. Start here.
- Standard — fast: quick drafts while you're finding the right vibe.
- Balanced: the everyday choice for usable tracks.
- Ultra — richer: more depth and texture for pieces that carry a video or an ad.
“Describe the feeling and the use, not just the genre. "Calm lo-fi for a study video" beats "lo-fi" every time.”— WorkCrafter
How to describe a track
You give the tool a caption (what the music is), optional lyrics, and settings like duration and tempo. The caption does most of the work — treat it like a brief for a session musician:
- Genre and mood: "upbeat indie pop, hopeful and bright".
- Instrumentation: "acoustic guitar, soft drums, warm bass".
- Use case: "background for a product demo" tells it to stay out of the way.
- Energy and tempo: state a rough BPM or say "slow and mellow" / "driving and energetic".
Caption: warm lo-fi hip-hop, relaxed and nostalgic, mellow piano, vinyl crackle, soft drums, background for a study video
Lyrics: [instrumental]
Duration: 60s · BPM: 75For instrumental music, set the lyrics to [instrumental] so the tool doesn't invent vocals. If you do want vocals, keep the lyrics short and simple — dense wordplay rarely lands.

Duration and tempo
Ask for the length you'll actually use. Shorter clips hold together more reliably than long ones, and it's easy to loop a clean 30-second piece under a video. If a track drifts or loses the thread, shorten it and regenerate rather than pushing for a longer take.
Tips that help
- Name two or three instruments — it anchors the arrangement more than a genre label alone.
- Say what the music is for; "background" produces something that supports rather than competes.
- Generate a few short options and pick the strongest, then extend that direction.
- Keep vocals simple, or go instrumental — it's the more dependable path to a usable track.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the music in monetised videos?
Yes — tracks you generate are yours to use commercially under the platform's terms, including in monetised content. Keep a record of what you generated.
How do I get an instrumental with no vocals?
Set the lyrics field to [instrumental]. Otherwise the tool may add a vocal line to fit the caption.
My track wanders. What do I change?
Shorten the duration and tighten the caption. Long generations are where coherence breaks down; a focused 30–60 seconds you can loop is usually more useful anyway.
Start composing
Open the music tool, write a caption with a mood, a few instruments and a use case, set a short duration, and generate a couple of options. Extend the one that feels right.
