# AI Music

## Pick the right model for the user's intent

### Text-to-music (generate from scratch) — newest first

**ACE Step 1.5** — `acestep-ai/ace-step-1.5/text-to-audio` > Latest ACE Step generation. **50+ language vocal support**, refined structured-lyric handling, $0.0003/s. Open-weights (Apache 2.0). > Pick for: multilingual launches, vocal songs in non-English, hero-quality ACE output. > Avoid for: maximally polished commercial vocal hooks (try ElevenLabs Music) or cost-sensitive batches (try base ACE Step).

**ElevenLabs AI Music Generation** — `elevenlabs/elevenlabs/music-generation` > Premium 44.1 kHz stereo, 5 s–5 min, section-level control (Intro/Verse/Chorus/Bridge), multilingual vocals, commercial-friendly. $0.0083/s (~27× ACE Step). > Pick for: hero brand campaigns, polished vocal hooks, premium commercial cuts, ad music. > Avoid for: high-volume drafts / background music libraries — cost dominates.

**ACE Step (base)** — `acestep-ai/ace-step/text-to-audio` *(default for cost-sensitive work)* > Original ACE Step. Tag-driven composition, optional lyrics, 5–240 s stereo. **$0.0002/s** — cheapest CLI-reachable music model on RunComfy. > Pick for: background music libraries, jingles, game loops, drafts, cost-sensitive iteration. > Avoid for: premium vocal hooks — use **ElevenLabs Music** or **ACE Step 1.5**.

### Edit existing audio — ACE Step only (ElevenLabs has no edit endpoints)

**ACE Step audio-inpaint** — `acestep-ai/ace-step/audio-inpaint` > Regenerate a **time range** (start_time / end_time, anchorable to track start or end) inside an existing track. > Pick for: fix a bad chorus, swap the bridge, replace a 20 s section without re-rendering. > Avoid for: edits not bounded by time (use the source-model text-to-music instead).

**ACE Step audio-outpaint** — `acestep-ai/ace-step/audio-outpaint` > Extend an existing track **bidirectionally** — add intro before, outro after, or both (`extend_before_duration` / `extend_after_duration`). > Pick for: lengthen a 30 s hook into a 2 min cut, add a fade-out, build longer arrangement around an existing hook. > Avoid for: extending past 4 min total — chain calls instead.

The agent reads these tables, classifies user intent (premium vs cost-sensitive · multilingual · vocal vs instrumental · generate vs edit), and picks the matching subsection below.
