A couple of weeks ago, I needed a music track for a video we created for a recent project. We typically rely on a cloud music provider, but we discontinued that service earlier this year, in 2025, as part of an effort to streamline our various service subscriptions.
Consequently, we found ourselves without our usual music source and a video lacking a soundtrack. What's a tech savvy realtor to do? Turn to Google, of course.
Thanks to my long-standing relationship with the company, we have early access to several of Google's confidential projects, one of which is called MusicFX.
This cloud-based software allows you to input a list of desired criteria and instruments, and voilà, Google's AI generates a unique music track for you.
The drawback is that it takes a few moments to produce the song, whereas our previous provider offered immediate access to a vast library of existing tracks, requiring only time to browse and select the right one. This new process, therefore, takes a bit more time.
Another potential downside is the temptation to experiment extensively with the software's settings, which can lead to a time-consuming exploration.
On the other hand, the generated music is yours outright, with no royalty fees. Additionally, the service is currently free to use, eliminating the monthly charges we incurred with our previous provider.
Overall, the future of music and soundtracks seems to be leaning towards computer generation rather than solely human creation. While I don't foresee the disappearance of rock bands anytime soon, the music industry, like everything else, will undoubtedly continue to evolve.
I encourage you to give Google MusicFX a try and share your thoughts with me.
