Reference audio
Bring a song you love. We'll write one it inspired.
Upload a short audio clip — up to 60 seconds — and MixGenie captures the style, energy, and mood, then generates a fresh, original track inspired by it. Your source stays untouched; the output is unique.
"Give me one like this" is the hardest prompt to write
Describing a song you love in words rarely captures what makes it feel like that song. Reference audio short-circuits the problem: the model listens, extracts the shape, and generates something new that shares its DNA — without copying it.
How it works
- Pick a snippet
Upload an MP3, record from your device, or share a song from your music library straight into MixGenie via the app's share target. - Trim to 30–60 seconds
Scrub to the chunk that carries the vibe you want — a chorus, a drop, an intro. The clip picker slices it locally in your browser. - Describe what to change (optional)
"Same energy but half tempo", "same instrumentation but sadder lyrics", "add strings". Reference + prompt combine. - Generate
MixGenie sends the audio + your notes to the generator; you get an original track back in minutes.
Highlights
License-safe by design
The output is a new original composition, not a remix, cover, or derivative work — no sample lifting, no cloned vocals.
Local trimming
The reference clip is trimmed in your browser before upload — smaller payload, faster generation, no wasted seconds.
Share-target install
Install MixGenie as a PWA, then "Share" any song file from your music library straight into a new reference generation.
Combine with prompts
Reference audio doesn't override the text prompt — they combine. Get the vibe from the clip, steer the story with words.
"The reference-audio path is the fastest way to get a song that sounds like the one in your head. Most users iterate 2–3 times before they ship the first one; after that, it clicks."

FAQ
Does the output copy the reference?
No. The reference informs style, mood, tempo, and arrangement shape — the actual melodies, lyrics, and vocals are freshly generated. It's inspiration, not sampling.
What audio formats are supported?
MP3, WAV, and M4A. Files up to a few MB — the clip picker trims them locally before upload.
Can I use a copyrighted song as a reference?
For personal reference generation, yes — the output is original and not a derivative work. For commercial releases, follow the same due diligence you would for any inspired composition.
How long can the reference be?
Up to 60 seconds after trimming. Shorter tends to work better — 30 seconds of a strong chorus beats 60 seconds of a full verse-chorus loop.
