The Creative Challenge & Hurdles

Alexandre is developing an indie RPG inspired by medieval fantasy. Lacking the budget to hire a full symphonic orchestra and without advanced training in composition, he needed 12 high-quality combat and exploration musical scores.

The AI Synergy Solution

He used AIVA to draft the structural arrangements and export dynamic MIDI combat tracks for absolute control. For warm, cozy village themes, he leveraged Udio for its stunningly realistic acoustic harps, flutes, and lutes.

Step-by-Step Chronological Workflow

Drafting the Core MelodyUsed AIVA in "Epic Cinematic" style to output 3 combat variations at 130 BPM.
