What do you do when a client gives you a vague – but also very particular – brief for music? Or when you’ve nailed your scene, and you need to find the perfect sound to enhance your storytelling? We have the answer for finding the perfect track, fast: Prompt Search and Audio Search.
Audio Network Features
These days, it’s rare for any industry not to be discussing the impact of AI, and Audio Network is no different. Whilst our music is always composed, played and recorded by our talented global roster of musicians, artists and producers, we’ve been looking into ways that AI can make our search functions work both more intuitively and faster, producing even better results for content creators everywhere, in order to capitalize on the power of music.
Prompt Search
We’ve harnessed the capabilities of AI to make music discovery a cinch. You don’t need to be a music expert, or know obscure music jargon to get the best from Audio Network’s catalogue of over 250,000 tracks: all you need is your own imagination.
With Prompt Search, our AI-powered music search, you simply put in a description of your content, a scene, or the emotions you want your audience to feel, and you’ll get a playlist full of options within seconds.
What’s a Good Prompt?
As Prompt Search uses ‘natural’ language for search, you can think of what you’re working on, rather than what you’re searching for. What’s in your head? What’s your start point? What are your references? These are ideas for how to think about your prompts:
- Scene descriptions - try: ‘a dark forest that's both eerie and enchanting’ or ‘a person walking in a serene forest’
- Everyday phrases such as ‘a stunning sunset’
- Sync briefs – provide a description like ‘trailer about a thrilling sports triumph. The music should be lively and uplifting’
Then tweak and refine your search prompts by adding references such as places, movie characters, a time-period, etc. And remember, you can still filter the results as you usually would, to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Here are some more examples of phrases you could use for Prompt Search:
- Looking for music for a trailer about space travel? You could try ‘distant galaxies’, ‘mysteries of the universe’ or ‘interstellar voyages’
- How about music for an enchanting sea exploration? Think ‘magical underwater world with diver’, ‘wonders of the sea’, or ‘documentary – beauty of the oceans’
- Need thrilling sports music? Go for ‘motivational sports montage’, ‘uplifting fitness’, or ‘epic sports team celebration’
Audio Search
Have you ever watched a film and thought, ‘wow, this soundtrack is amazing, if only I could create a mood like that’? Well, now you can. Our Audio Search feature allows you to put in a link from any of these streamers and platforms:
- YouTube
- Spotify
- TikTok
- Apple Music
- Vimeo
- SoundCloud
Powered by innovative AI, our dynamic search tool will find exactly what you’re looking for, in just a few clicks. And in the process, you may also find some other fantastic tracks in our catalogue, giving you even more choice.
How Does It Work?
AI technology analyses your track’s mood, style, BPM and instrumentation and returns tracks with a similar style and feel from our catalogue. You can then filter the results as you normally would to narrow down your search.
So if you’ve got specific audio elements in mind, but you’re not sure how to put them into words, Audio Search is here to solve all your problems.

Our Music
We’re proud to say that although we use AI to enhance your search experience, our artists, composers, and music are absolutely not AI-generated. We remain committed to preserving the world of human creativity and believe human interaction is irreplaceable. Our talented roster of artists and composers bring stories and nuance that AI simply cannot replicate in the world of music licensing.
