Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know music theory to make Bossa Nova music?
No. The AI handles all the technical music theory. You describe the song you want in plain English (or any language) and it builds the track. Theory knowledge helps if you want to fine-tune chord choices or song structure, but it's not required.
How long does it take to make my first Bossa Nova song?
About 5 minutes. Most of that is thinking about what you want - the actual generation takes 30-60 seconds. After your first song, the workflow drops to 2-3 minutes per track because you understand what kinds of prompts work for Bossa Nova.

Yes - new users get 100 free credits, enough for about 8 full songs. After that, paid plans start at $4.99/month for 800 credits.
