Loudnotes

The audio to video generation tool for musicians

October 27, 2024 Subtitles/Lyrics

I mentioned we optionally display lyrics. These can be burnt into the video in a few styles.

Unlike the usual waveform generators aimed at podcasts, there's no AI or automated transcription of lyrics in Loudnotes because a) these tools are tuned for speech and don't work too well for sung music and b) if you've written and recorded a song then you'll know what your lyrics are already!

However, although you might have your lyrics you might not have a lyrics/subtitle file with their timings against your music. To create these files I've added a completely free tool for doing that sync task at loudnotes.com/subtitler

October 27, 2024 Launched first version

I thought about who I wanted to serve and decided that musicians needed their own dedicated audio to video generator! I had the idea of a "moving album cover" that allowed them to put a waveform on their album art. Then I added a progress bar and lyrics, decided on a concise feature set and launched!

Videos are free at 720x720 resolution with a watermark which can be removed on a video-by-video basis for a small payment. We also up the resolution to 1080x1080 and use better encoding quality for paid versions. I tried to at least make the watermark look cool by basing it on the "parental warning" stickers they used to put on physical records and CDs!

About

Most waveform generation tools focus on podcasters and spoken word. I wanted to make something to serve musicians and allow them to create videos from their music, album art and lyrics 🎸 ⚡ 🎹 🎵
