About AIVA
What is AIVA?
An AI music composer that creates original instrumental pieces in styles from orchestral and cinematic to electronic and pop. You can generate from presets or your own influences, then edit the composition and download audio or MIDI files. AIVA is a specialised AI tool in the Music Comp category that applies machine learning to automate, enhance, or augment tasks in this domain.
AIVA's plans differ on who owns the copyright: on the lower tiers AIVA keeps it and you get a licence, while the top tier assigns it to you. For Australian businesses using music in paid advertising, broadcast or products, that difference matters, so choose the tier that matches your use. Copyright protection for AI-assisted works is unsettled under the Copyright Act 1968, so keep a record of your edits and the plan in force when each track was created.
How Australian Businesses Use AIVA
Australian businesses use Music Comp AI tools to reduce manual workload, improve output quality, and operate more efficiently. The specific applications vary by organisation but typically focus on the most time-intensive processes in this category.

Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
AIVA is based in Luxembourg and does not publish an Australian hosting option. Composition work involves little personal information, though uploaded influence tracks and account details are processed by AIVA overseas. Only upload reference audio you have the right to use, and check AIVA's privacy policy and terms for how uploads are stored and handled.

Getting Started with AIVA in Australia
AIVA is available directly at aiva.ai. Sign up for a trial or free tier to evaluate the tool for your specific use case. Identify one clear workflow to start with, measure results over 30 days, and expand from there. Reach out to the vendor's support team for onboarding guidance.
Outside help is most useful when the tool has to connect to existing systems, handle personal information, or be rolled out to a whole team. AI Lab Australia works with businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on that setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About AIVA
Do I own music I create with AIVA?
It depends on your plan. On the free and mid tiers AIVA keeps the copyright and grants you a licence with limits on monetisation, while the Pro plan assigns copyright in your compositions to you. Choose the tier before creating music for paid advertising, broadcast or products, because the plan in force at creation applies.
Can I use AIVA music on YouTube?
The free plan requires attribution and does not allow monetisation. The mid tier permits monetisation on major social platforms such as YouTube, and the Pro plan allows unrestricted commercial use. Check aiva.ai/pricing for the current terms of each tier before publishing videos with AIVA tracks.
Does AIVA create songs with vocals?
No. AIVA composes instrumental music only, which suits soundtracks, background scores and game audio. For songs with lyrics and vocals, look at tools such as Suno or Udio, and check their licence terms carefully, since rules on commercial use and ownership differ between plans and providers.
