Questions
How do I get a sound effect instead of music?
Just describe the sound. Ask for something with no music in it, like rain or footsteps, and you get a sound effect. Ask for music, or music with sounds in it ("a lofi beat with rain"), and you get a song with its stems. There's nothing to switch.
What can it make?
Weather, footsteps, doors, crowds, vehicles, fire, water, impacts and whooshes: anything you can describe as a sound rather than music. Say where it is and how it feels ("slow, heavy footsteps on gravel") and it follows.
How long can a sound effect be?
Up to 30 seconds. Each is one stereo take, without stems, since it's one sound. Pick a shorter length for a single hit, like a door or a sword.
Can I use the music in a commercial game or video?
Yes. Every song is royalty-free on every plan, Free included: use it in commercial games, videos, streams, podcasts and apps.
How much does a sound effect cost?
The same as a song: 5 a month are free with a Daydream account, then 5¢ a song after that, in credit packs from $3 (60 songs). Credits never expire, and the API and the MCP server spend the same ones.
Can I use it in Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Add https://gen.daydream.live/mcp as a custom connector in Claude, or as a custom MCP server in ChatGPT, or add the Daydream app from ChatGPT's directory, and sign in with your Daydream account. Then describe a song in the chat: it plays there with its stems in their own lanes, and if you ask for new drums it makes that part again with the other four as they are. It spends the same credits as this page, 5 a song. How to add it.
Is there an API?
Yes. Send a description, get the song's MP3 and WAV back. It spends the same credits as the generator (5 a song); the API docs have examples for curl, JavaScript, Python, Unity and Godot.
