Farewell to Expensive Studios: Why MBM is the “Second Brain” for Independent Musicians

Farewell to Expensive Studios: Why MBM is the “Second Brain” for Independent Musicians

AI is transforming the traditional way of music creation. In the past, music production required recording studios and professional producers, but now, most of the process can be completed with just a computer and a single tool. The emergence of MakeBestMusic acts like a “second brain” for independent musicians. From the melody in your mind to a releasable track, it understands your creativity and executes your ideas, enabling every independent musician to take control of their music and return creation to pure expression.

MakeBestMusic: More creative than auto-generation, more efficient than manual creation

    • More than a generator — a one-stop creation workstation

The market is awash with AI music tools, yet most can only perform a single task: either simple song generators or basic backing track creators. MakeBestMusic stands apart, offering not only powerful music generation capabilities but also integrating modules including lyric generation, melody creation, and multi-track music production, truly enabling one-stop creation.

Got a melody in your head but unsure how to arrange it? MakeBestMusic can instantly generate a complete instrumental arrangement based on your inspiration.

Have lyrics but struggle with composition? Input your lyrics, select a style, and MakeBestMusic will craft music that perfectly matches the emotion.

Even with just a vague concept like an 80s retro-electronic pop song, MakeBestMusic transforms abstract descriptions into tangible musical creations.

No need to be a musical virtuoso to achieve professional-grade results. MakeBestMusic makes creation feel more like human thinking, far surpassing the mechanical feel of ordinary auto-generation tools.

    • Independent musicians can produce professional-level work right at home

The high barrier to traditional music production lies not only in equipment costs but also in technical barriers. A professional recording studio requires: an acoustically treated room, recording equipment costing tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, professional DAW software and plugins, as well as experienced recording engineers and mixing engineers. For the vast majority of independent musicians, these conditions are out of reach.

MakeBestMusic condenses all this into your computer:

      • Music generation capabilities automatically produce high-quality vocals from text, requiring no vocal training.
      • Automated arrangement and track separation functions break down the production process into manageable modules.
      • Rapidly generate multiple demo versions to effortlessly experiment with different styles.

No recording studio, no expensive microphone arrays, no costly hardware synthesizers required. With just an internet-connected computer, you possess a fully functional virtual recording studio.

 

How MakeBestMusic becomes your “Second Brain”

    • Traditional Workflow

First, let’s take a look at the traditional music production process:

Step 1: Capturing inspiration. When inspiration strikes, it must be recorded promptly. Yet such inspiration is often fragmented and incomplete.

Step 2: Creating a demo. You need to produce a simple version. If you can’t play an instrument, you may get stuck at this step; even if you can, the first draft is usually very basic.

Step 3: Securing a Producer/Studio. Finding suitable producers and recording facilities is time-consuming and laborious, with high communication costs.

Step 4: Iterative Refinements. This is frequently the most arduous phase. Not only is it time-consuming, but budgets often balloon significantly, yet the final product may still prove unsatisfactory.

Step 5: High-cost finished product. The entire process can take weeks or even months, with an investment ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, and the returns are risky.

    • MBM New Workflow

Now, let’s see how MakeBestMusic is revolutionising this process.

      • From inspiration to multiple finished versions

At MakeBestMusic, the first step in music creation isn’t opening a complex production interface, but accurately expressing the feeling in your mind. Many independent musicians discover a shift when first using MakeBestMusic: you no longer need to describe music in technical terms, but can articulate emotions, styles, and usage scenarios just as you would when communicating with a producer.

Simply activate the Create Music function, select Simple mode, and briefly describe your inspiration in the Lyrics input field. MakeBestMusic will instantly generate a fully structured song for you.

For example, when you want to create a song perfect for late-night solitude, there’s no need to overcomplicate things. Simply articulate your vision clearly—whether it’s a vague concept like “a song perfect for late-night solitude” or a specific description like “A song perfect for late-night solitude. Without dramatic peaks or valleys, nor any rush to express emotion, its melody flows like the air moving slowly through the night.” MakeBestMusic can quickly grasp your vision.

Based on your description, MakeBestMusic generates two versions at once. Each version features subtle differences in melody progression, rhythm, and emotional expression, helping you swiftly find the one that most closely matches your vision.

If you already have a fairly complete concept and just want to hear the overall effect of the piece quickly, you can also directly choose Custom mode. In this mode, you only need to input the complete lyrics and set the song style, and MakeBestMusic will quickly generate the song to validate whether the idea in your mind holds up.

For instance, you want to add a light, upbeat background music to your travel video to enhance its atmosphere. You’ve already written lyrics about the scenery and feelings along the way. Next, you input the complete lyrics directly into MakeBestMusic’s Custom mode, specifying: “Pop style, mid-tempo, with a lighthearted, positive, and bright mood. Vocals sound natural, and the rhythm is easy to tap along to.” Within minutes, MakeBestMusic generates two complete versions: 

Version 1 features a brighter melody and minimalistic accompaniment, dominated by guitar and light electronic drums with a strong sense of rhythm — perfect for dynamic travel clips. The vocals are relaxed and natural, as if someone is sharing fun stories right by your ear.

Version 2 offers a softer overall tone, incorporating piano and ambient electronic textures with a smoother melodic flow, ideal for slow-motion or time-lapse landscape shots. The vocals are warmer, creating a soothing, immersive atmosphere.

After listening, you find that your video mainly consists of fast cuts and dynamic shots, so you finally choose Version One as the final track. With MakeBestMusic, you can instantly hear complete songs that perfectly match your creative vision—no manual arrangement required, and no need to go through the hassle of finding a producer or recording studio.

      • Screening and Fine-Tuning

Once MakeBestMusic generates several versions, you can preview each one and select the version that most closely matches the feeling in your mind. At this stage, the focus isn’t on creating from scratch, but on fine-tuning existing results.

If you feel certain aspects could be improved—such as a flat melody, inflexible rhythm, or underwhelming vocal emotion—simply select the song you wish to modify and click Recreate in the menu bar. This action will return the prompt text used to create that song to the text box, allowing you to directly modify it—adjusting the style, rhythm, or vocal delivery—and then generate a new version.

For example, if you find the vocal tone too flat in the background music for your travel video above, simply add prompts like “more lively vocals, slightly faster tempo, and a more playful melody.” Within minutes, a new song better suited to the atmosphere will be generated.

The entire process is flexible and intuitive: you don’t need to recreate the entire song from scratch, just make adjustments to the original. MakeBestMusic acts like a creative partner, always by your side, brainstorming ideas to help you get closer and closer to your ideal piece.

      • Split Music

Once you’re satisfied with the song, the next step is to adjust each element individually — this is the Split Music function. You can import the generated song into the system: either upload a local MP3 or WAV file, or directly click Select From Library to choose music you previously created in MakeBestMusic, and begin editing.

Split Music offers two track-splitting modes: Normal mode generates up to 5 independent tracks, including main instrument and vocal tracks, ideal for quick editing and fine-tuning; Advanced mode generates up to 12 independent tracks, covering all instruments, vocals, and MIDI tracks, perfect for scenarios requiring more intricate arrangement and post-processing. 

After selecting your mode, simply click Split, and the system will automatically separate the song into individual tracks. This allows you to independently adjust volume, panning, effects, or tempo for each track, ensuring every detail of your work aligns with your creative vision.

MakeBestMusic not only helps you generate music but also lets you take control of every track just like in a real recording studio, laying the foundation for subsequent mixing and refined production.

In MakeBestMusic, you can not only generate backing tracks and arrangements but also add vocal performances to your creations using the AI Voice Cover feature.

After uploading your song, you can choose from a variety of voices in MakeBestMusic’s public voice library—sweet, warm, or rock- you can easily match your creative style.

For a more personalized touch, you can directly upload your own voice and have MakeBestMusic sing with it. This allows you to quickly integrate your vocals into the song without visiting a recording studio, achieving a fully customized effect.

Whether using public voices or a custom voice, AI Voice Cover naturally generates vocals based on your lyrics and music style. The emotion, tone, and rhythm all fit the music perfectly, making your work more vivid and expressive.

Four Creative Transformations Brought by MakeBestMusic

    • Creative Freedom: Free experimentation, boldly explore diverse styles

With MakeBestMusic, trial and error come at virtually no cost, so feel free to boldly explore any wild idea. For instance, if you generate a pop-style song and want to see how it sounds as R&B, simply modify the style in the input box to create a new version. If the chorus vocals lack emotional depth, tweak the prompt to make them sound more natural and compelling. Even experimenting with different instrument arrangements—like adding piano or light electronic elements to the backing track—enables MakeBestMusic to swiftly generate fresh versions. 

Free experimentation also means you can create multiple, completely distinct versions of the same song. Perhaps your initial pop version is perfect for radio airplay, but an electronic remix suits nightclubs better, while an acoustic version shines for live performances. On MBM, creating these variations takes just a few clicks and a little time. In traditional production, this would require multiple costly, separate projects.

    • Efficiency Revolution: Compress weeks of production into days or even hours

Time is money, and this is especially true for independent musicians. MakeBestMusic has compressed this cycle to an incredible degree. Creators can complete their work within hours, and even with repeated refinements and fine-tuning, it rarely takes more than a week. This efficiency revolution brings not only time savings but a fundamental shift in the rhythm of creation.

MakeBestMusic’s advantages are even more obvious for projects that require fast turnaround. For example, if you want to create a timely song for a trending topic or event, it would be too late under the traditional creation model. But with MakeBestMusic, you can release your work while the event is still hot.

    • Barrier-free Creation: No longer limited by music theory or instrumental skills

MakeBestMusic removes technical barriers entirely. You don’t need to master complex music theory to create songs with rich melodies and layered accompaniment, and you don’t need to play the piano to craft stunning piano sections. The AI handles the technical execution, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your musical ideas and artistic expression.

For musicians with some experience, MakeBestMusic is just as powerful a partner. Maybe you excel at melody writing but struggle with arrangement, or you’re a skilled guitarist but new to music production, or you’re classically trained and want to explore modern pop. MakeBestMusic fills in your gaps, so your creativity is no longer limited by your skill set.

    • Controllable cost: From expensive projects to sustainable creation

MakeBestMusic adopts a subscription model. The monthly cost may be equivalent to just one hour in a traditional recording studio, yet it allows you to create, revise, and export your work unlimited times. You no longer need to calculate the return on investment for every creative attempt, nor worry about your money going to waste if a song doesn’t succeed. You can create purely for art, pursue experimental projects, and make music that may be niche but that you truly love.

This significant cost reduction also means you can release music more frequently. In the age of social media and streaming, consistent content output is crucial for maintaining your fanbase. But if each song costs tens of thousands of dollars, most people can’t sustain a steady release schedule. MakeBestMusic makes high-frequency output possible—you can release new music monthly, stay connected with your listeners, and continually explore new musical directions.

Conclusion: Redefining the Possibilities of Independent Music Creation

MakeBestMusic is more than just a tool—it represents a new era of democratized music creation. On this platform, expensive gear, complex technology, and intricate processes are no longer barriers. Anyone with a musical dream, armed with creativity and passion, can craft professional-quality works.

As the “second brain” for independent musicians, MakeBestMusic understands your ideas, executes your creativity, makes up for your weaknesses, and amplifies your strengths. It does not aim to replace human creativity but to free creativity from the constraints of technology and funding. It turns music production from a privilege of the few into a creative practice accessible to everyone, making creation freer, more efficient, and more sustainable. It helps independent musicians explore infinite possibilities at a limited cost.
