What is Amper Music?

Amper Music generates royalty-free instrumental music from a set of choices rather than a blank text box: you select a style, a mood, a tempo and a target length, and the service composes and renders a track that fits the runtime of your edit. Its original audience was content creators, agencies and advertisers who needed unlimited licence-free cues without managing music rights. The standalone product was acquired by Shutterstock and folded into that company's tooling, so the site is no longer an actively developed self-serve service and its main value now is historical and as a licensed catalogue.

FAQ

Is Amper Music still available?

The original standalone service is no longer offered in its previous form. The technology and team moved to Shutterstock, so anyone looking for it today should check that company's current creative tools instead.

What made it different from text-to-music tools?

You did not type a description: you chose a style, mood and runtime, which suited editors who wanted a bed of exactly the right length rather than a prompt-driven experiment.

Why list a discontinued product?
