Not a music producer but I have been using this service since launch for some of my projects. Fairly user friendly I think. Although new genres have been added, older ones haven't changed much in terms of variety of melodies.

Does anyone know how it works? Sounds decent, kind of generic. Maybe generated from MIDI directly?

No idea how it technically works, but from listening to a few samples it sounds like they've setup an environment with different instruments and generate notes to play those instruments.

The environment in all of the samples I've listened to so far sound exactly the same, as if they all share the same mixing configuration and mastering.

OpenAI's jukebox for example (check youtube for samples) is actually generating waveforms and sounds completely different.

The image equivalent to this is that I feel soundraw.io has a database of transparent stock photo images that it uses to compose a collage image that adheres to some strict rules depending on the genre.

Whereas OpenAI Jukebox is more like Dalle2 and Stable Diffusion.

Lol. Each Time I see such software, it's for paid. Where are open source and open data geek guys? Imagine this software or Spotify for free and open source and distributed whereas centralised.

Come on geeks

How do Soundraw know for sure the auto-generated music is original and therefore royalty-free? So not close enough to an already released, copyrighted, piece of music.

Not AI, at least not for the composition process. It algorithmically combines a library of loops using genre templates: https://napolitano.de/2021/11/12/soundraw-ai-music-creation-...

Superb article.

I see this a lot and this isn't open source at all.

This and others like it more closely resembles a total grift, like a selling prompts generated by stable diffusion or dalle.
