Frequently asked questions

Common questions from musicians and audio creators about AI-generated content.

Can AI generate album cover art from my music?

Yes. Upload your audio track or describe the mood, genre, and aesthetic you want. FairStack generates album cover art in minimalist, abstract, photographic, illustrated, retro, or grunge styles at $0.04 per design. Generate dozens of variations to find the perfect cover -- something that would cost $150-1,000 from a designer.

How do AI music videos compare to traditional production?

A traditional music video costs $500-50,000 depending on scope. FairStack generates music videos from a single image and your audio track at $0.30-0.60 per video. The AI creates multi-scene visuals synced to your music in performance, abstract, narrative, or lyric video styles. They're ideal for social promotion, streaming platform visuals, and independent releases.

Can I clone my voice for narration and demos?

Yes. Upload a 30-second audio sample and FairStack clones your voice. Then use it to generate any text as speech -- infinite takes, perfect delivery, no re-recording. At $0.001 per generation, you can create intros, outros, narration, and demo vocals for pennies.

What is stem splitting and how much does it cost?

Stem splitting separates a mixed audio track into individual stems -- vocals, drums, bass, and melody. It's useful for remixing, sampling, karaoke tracks, and practice. FairStack charges $0.005 per split, compared to standalone stem splitting services that charge $2-10 per track.

Can I generate lyric videos automatically?

Yes. Upload your audio track and lyrics text, and FairStack generates an animated lyric video with synchronized text. Choose font style, color scheme, and animation type (kinetic, fade, typewriter). At $0.45 per video vs $149-2,500 from a lyric video producer, you can create multiple versions for different platforms.

Do I own the rights to AI-generated album art and videos?

Yes. All content generated on FairStack is yours to use commercially, including for album releases, streaming platforms, social media, and merchandise. There are no additional licensing fees or usage restrictions.

Can I use FairStack tools via API for batch content?

Yes. Every tool is available through the FairStack API. You can automate album art generation, batch process lyric videos for an entire album, or integrate voice cloning into your production workflow. API pricing is identical to web app pricing.
