AI beat maker
AI beat maker and instrumental generator
Switch vocals off and Zona becomes an instrumental generator: describe a beat, a tempo and the instruments you want, and it produces a finished track with no singing on it. Use it under a rap verse, a video, a podcast or a stream, or as a loop to write over.

How to make a beat with AI
1.Turn vocals off
Open Advanced and switch on No vocals, just music. The lyrics field steps aside and the whole prompt goes to the sound.
2.Describe the beat
Name the genre, the tempo and the parts: "boom-bap, 90 BPM, dusty drums, jazzy piano loop, deep bass". The more specific the drums and the bassline, the closer the beat comes out.
3.Create and compare
Press Create and listen to what comes back. Change one thing at a time, the tempo or a single instrument, to hear what each choice does.
4.Export it
Download the MP3, or on a subscription export lossless WAV to take the beat into your DAW.
What you can make with an AI instrumental generator
Hip-hop and trap beats, lo-fi study loops, cinematic scores, EDM drops, ambient beds, acoustic guitar pieces and orchestral cues. If you can describe it with a genre and a handful of instruments, you can ask for it.
An instrumental is also a starting point. Make the beat first, then write your own verse over it, or use it as the reference for the next track you make with vocals.
Beats for creators
Videos, streams, podcast intros and short clips all need music that nobody else will claim. Every track made with Zona ships with commercial rights, so the beat you make is yours to publish.
Already have a song with vocals you like? On a subscription, stem separation splits it into a vocal track and an instrumental, which gives you the beat on its own.
Prompt tips for better beats
Lead with tempo
A BPM number anchors everything else. Around 70 to 90 BPM suits boom-bap and lo-fi; trap usually sits around 130 to 150 BPM with a half-time feel.
Name the drums
"Crisp snare", "rolling hi-hats", "punchy kick", "brushed drums" and "808 slides" change a beat more than any mood word.
Pick one lead
Choose one melodic lead, a piano loop, a flute, a synth arpeggio, and let the rest support it. Crowded prompts come back crowded.
Say how it should move
Phrases like "sparse intro", "builds slowly" or "big drop halfway" help shape the arrangement.
