Is the Studio free?
Signing up is free and comes with 30 credits: enough to write lyrics with Mélodie and try out the tools. Composing the music takes credits, bought in packs. The cost of each composition is shown before it is charged.
Do I need to be a writer or know about music?
No. You tell the story, Mélodie handles the rhymes and suggests a structure. You can also write your own lyrics, or rewrite part of hers: the music is then composed on your words.
How many credits does a song take?
Music is paid by length: 42 credits per minute. A 2 min 30 song takes a little over 100 credits. An album cover costs 51 credits.
What happens when I retouch a section?
Only that section is recomposed, with the same voice across the rest of the song, and the original version is kept. A retouch is charged on the full length of the song.
How long can a song be?
From 10 seconds to 5 minutes, with each section lasting 3 to 120 seconds. Mélodie suggests up to 3 minutes; Guided mode lets you go up to 5.
I just want to give someone a song: is the Studio for me?
Not necessarily. The gift plans do everything for you, at a fixed price and with no account: you tell your story, read the lyrics before paying, and the song is composed for you.
