LabSharks is an AI-assisted music studio: you describe what you want, we run a composition-first pipeline, and you get real project materials, not a single mystery file from a black box.
What is LabSharks, in one sentence?
A guided composer and job queue that builds songs and phrases using MIDI, professional software instruments, and multitrack rendering, then lets you audition, share, and export like a production workflow.
How is this different from “press a button, get a finished track”?
We assemble music from the ground up the way a real production does: parts, tracks, and structure matter. The system creates actual musical elements (not a stereo illusion retrofitted into “stems”), renders through real synths and instruments, and hands you high-quality WAV stems and related assets your DAW can use.
That is a different tradeoff than tools optimized for instant, heavily mastered previews. We bias toward musical correctness and editable multitracks over mimicking the exact sonic fingerprint of chart-topping references.
What exactly do I download?
Depending on your plan, you get at least an MP3 preview. On tiers that include stems, you receive a ZIP with real multitrack exports: individual WAV stems and project-friendly material from the generation pipeline, plus MIDI where the pipeline provides it, so you can mix, replace sounds, or rearrange in your own environment.
See Plans for which exports unlock at each level.
Do I own the beat? Can I use it commercially?
Paid plans are built around production-ready use. Select tiers include a full exclusive license to the beats you generate, so you are not stuck in a gray zone of shared or non-exclusive library rights. For the terms that apply to your purchase, see the license or checkout terms when you subscribe. Your track, your rights, not a lease on someone else’s loop pack.
How long does a generation take?
Work runs in a queue. When the system is quiet, expect on the order of several minutes for a full pass. This is real synthesis and arrangement work, not a single neural decode. When many people are creating at once, wait times increase. The in-app progress and status views are there so you can queue ideas and come back when they are ready.
Why might a result sound less “radio polished” than I expected?
Our strength is composition and real multitrack output. We do not use machine learning to clone the exact sonic profile of hit records, so you will not get that hyper-polished, mastered-for-streaming sheen automatically. What you get is musically coherent material that often sounds best after your own mix and master, which is how many serious producers prefer to work anyway.
Sometimes a beat feels weak or off. Is that normal?
Yes. Generative systems vary from run to run. If a take is not right for your project, treat it like auditioning takes in a session: adjust the prompt, constraints, or genre tags, and start another creation. Over time, the same pipeline produces standouts. Plan credits accordingly if you like to iterate.
Can I share a track without asking people to sign in?
Creations are private by default. When you turn on sharing, you can send people a link from the app so they can hear the MP3 in the browser without an account, useful for feedback, collaborators, or social proof. You stay in control of whether a link is live.
Is there an API?
Yes. Premium includes API access so you can create songs or parts programmatically and integrate LabSharks into your own tools or products. See Plans for how tiers differ.
What are you building next?
We are working toward a tighter loop between generation and editing: an AI-assisted DAW and integrated softsynth experience so composition, sound design, and export live in one place. The current studio and API are the foundation; deeper integration is on the roadmap.
How do credits and subscriptions work?
Paid tiers include monthly credits that reset each billing period, plus support for anytime credits that do not expire at renewal. Creating a song or phrase consumes credits according to the rules on your account. Downloads and API access are gated by tier rather than charged per download in most cases. Your current balances and what each plan includes are shown on Plans and in your account in the studio.
Who is LabSharks best for?
Producers, songwriters, and teams who want editable multitracks, clear licensing, and a studio-minded pipeline, and who are comfortable iterating and mixing to taste. If you only need a ten-second viral clip with instant mastering, other tools may feel faster; if you need stems you can treat like a real session, LabSharks is built for that.
Still unsure?
Open the studio, run a creation with a tight prompt, and listen to the MP3 when it finishes. If the multitrack workflow matches how you work, upgrade when you are ready for stems, exclusive licensing, or API access.
