Replacing Stock Music with Custom AI Tracks
Stock music has its place — but if you’ve ever made a video, ad, or project using stock audio, you know the downside:
It’s generic. It’s overused. It doesn’t always fit what you’re trying to say.
A lot of creators are starting to replace stock music with custom AI tracks — and Tchaikovsky is making it faster and easier than ever.
The Problem with Stock Music
Stock music libraries are huge, but:
- Good tracks get overused quickly
- Licensing can be complicated or expensive for commercial use
- You have to force-fit your project to whatever’s available
At some point, stock music starts to feel like a shortcut that limits your creative control instead of helping it.
The Tchaikovsky Alternative
Instead of digging through thousands of pre-made tracks, users are generating exactly what they need with text prompts.
Examples:
- “Slow, emotional piano theme for a 2-minute documentary scene, 70 BPM.”
- “Bright, catchy ukulele background loop for a kids’ app ad, 120 BPM.”
- “Dark cinematic synth pulse for sci-fi trailer intro, 90 BPM.”
After generating the track, they can edit every note, tweak the structure, swap instruments, and tailor the piece perfectly to their project — all without leaving the DAW.
Real-World Examples
- Video editors replacing overused ambient stock tracks with custom-generated atmospheres.
- Ad agencies creating brand-specific jingles without relying on “one-size-fits-all” commercial music.
- Small businesses using AI tracks to add personality to explainer videos and online ads.
- YouTubers creating unique intro/outro music that no one else is using.
Because everything is editable at the MIDI level, it’s easy to make sure the final track feels like it was made specifically for your project — because it was.
Why It’s Better
- Originality: No two generated tracks are exactly the same.
- Full control: Edit, remix, and customize to fit your timing and vibe.
- Speed: Generate a track in minutes instead of hours searching.
- Ownership: No worrying about licenses or takedown notices.
Final Thoughts
Stock music used to be the only option for fast, affordable background tracks.
Now, with AI tools like Tchaikovsky, you can create something that’s yours — original, flexible, and built to match your story.
If you’re tired of sounding like everyone else, it might be time to leave stock behind.
