AetherWave Music Studio
AetherWave Music Studio is a browser-based tool for generating a finished AI song from a prompt, alongside a multitrack DAW for recording, arranging, generating, and mixing audio. The DAW includes track editing, a MIDI piano roll, per-track controls and automation, and effects such as EQ and reverb. Its AI-Engineer can make mix changes that can be undone. Full mixes export as lossless WAV at 44.1 kHz/16-bit stereo or compressed MP3. AetherWave also offers an MCP server for Claude, Cursor, Continue, scripts, and other MCP clients, accessed with OAuth or an API key; generations use the website’s credit balance, with no separate API plan or surcharge. The free plan starts with zero monthly credits, though credits can be earned through daily login streaks and one-time community quests. Newer accounts may need a card verified with a $0 check before generating. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month. The DAW is desktop-only and displays a desktop-required message below 900 pixels wide.
