When the vocal is done and the band is missing

Want a backing track for your vocals without hiring musicians? Find the situation closest to yours, copy the style brief into Instrumental Style, and change a few words.

  • A condenser microphone with a pop filter, headphones, a laptop showing a single blue vocal waveform and a glowing pink vinyl record

    Singers with an a cappella take

    You recorded a vocal you are proud of, but you do not play every instrument and a session band is out of budget.

    Warm acoustic pop, fingerpicked guitar, soft brushed drums, upright bass, light strings on the chorus, 88 BPM
    A demo that sounds like a band, ready for auditions
  • A lyric notebook, a dynamic microphone, a laptop with one orange vocal waveform and a glowing orange vinyl record in a night-time bedroom studio

    Rappers and topliners

    The verses are written and recorded, but finding a beat that matches your flow takes longer than writing the bars.

    Boom bap, dusty drum break, deep sub bass, jazzy Rhodes chords, vinyl crackle, 90 BPM
    A beat built around the rhythm of your verse
  • A phone recording a voice memo with a green waveform, an acoustic guitar neck, a notebook and a glowing green vinyl record

    Songwriters with a voice memo

    The melody lives in a phone recording. You want to hear it with drums and chords before you decide it is worth a studio day.

    Indie folk, strummed acoustic guitar, soft kick and snare, warm bass, subtle pedal steel, intimate and wistful
    A sketch that shows if the song works
  • A phone on a tripod inside a ring light, a laptop video timeline with a purple audio waveform and a glowing purple vinyl record

    Video creators

    You sing or narrate over footage and want an original backing track, not a library song that thousands of other videos already use.

    Bright lo-fi pop, plucky synth, soft claps, bouncy bass, feel-good and sunny, 100 BPM
    A one-of-a-kind track for your video

An AI instrumental generator that listens to your voice

Use AI add instrumental to turn a vocal recording into a finished song, with a backing track for your vocals that suits it.

  • Your voice stays untouched

    The AI instrumental generator builds the band around your recording instead of replacing it, so the take you worked on is the one people hear.

  • Follows your timing

    Drums, bass and chords are written to fit the pace and phrasing of your vocal, so the band does not fight your performance.

  • Any style, in your words

    Describe the genre, instruments and feel in one sentence, from fingerpicked folk to dark trap, and try a different style on the same take.

  • Fine controls when you want them

    Pick a model, exclude sounds you do not want, and balance how closely the band follows your style, your audio and how adventurous it gets.

Better backing tracks from the first try

How to describe the band you want

Recording the vocal?

Sing close to the microphone in a quiet room, with no reverb and no music playing in the background. A dry, steady take gives the band something clear to follow, and your voice stays the star.

Three sliders, in plain words

Find them under More Options. Leave them alone for a first run.

Style weight
Higher follows your style words more closely. Lower gives the AI more freedom.
Weirdness
Higher takes more creative risks in the arrangement. Lower stays closer to the familiar.
Audio weight
Higher follows the timing and phrasing of your vocal more tightly.

Add a backing track to your vocals in three steps

  1. 01

    Bring your vocal

    Upload a vocal or a cappella take up to 8 minutes, or pick one you already made in My Music.

  2. 02

    Describe the band

    Write the genre, instruments and feel in Instrumental Style, and list anything to leave out.

  3. 03

    Hear the full song

    Play what comes back, keep the arrangement you like, or change the style and run it again.

What to bring, and what you can steer

One vocal take and one style sentence are enough to start. Everything else is there when you want more say.

Upload your vocal or pick one from My Music, describe the sound in Instrumental Style, and press Add Instrumental. A few minutes later you can play the full song.
