01
Choose the warmth and texture
Ask for tape wobble, vinyl crackle, dusty drums, soft room tone, or a cleaner sound instead of relying on the word lo-fi alone.

Lo-fi beat examples
Hear three different lo-fi directions
We made these original tracks for this page. Compare a warm rain beat, a small-room jazz groove, and a slower ambient version before writing your own prompt.
Rain on Glass
Prompt
“Warm lo-fi instrumental with dusty brushed drums, soft Rhodes chords, rounded bass, quiet rain texture, steady 78 BPM feel, no vocals, no bright lead, and no dramatic build”
Pick a track to hear it and see the prompt behind it.
Shape the beat
Make the texture as clear as the genre
Lo-fi can mean a lot of things. Name the sounds you want, keep the movement steady, and say how worn, soft, or spacious the finished beat should feel.
02
Keep the drums soft
Describe brushed hits, a muted kick, light percussion, or a relaxed pocket when you do not want the beat pushing too hard.
03
Name the instruments
Rhodes, muted piano, guitar, upright bass, soft synths, and small horn phrases each pull the track in a different direction.
04
Ask for an even loop
Use phrases like steady arrangement, no dramatic drop, and restrained melody when the beat needs to sit behind work or conversation.
05
Keep it instrumental
Turn on instrumental mode when you want a beat without singing or spoken samples competing with the atmosphere.
06
Save the versions you like
Keep finished beats in your library so you can compare them, download the available file, or continue one later.
A clear lo-fi prompt
Write the direction in four small parts
Start with the base sound, add a few instruments, describe the movement, and finish with anything you want left out.
Example prompt
“Warm lo-fi instrumental1 with dusty brushed drums, soft Rhodes, rounded bass, quiet rain texture2, steady 78 BPM feel3, no vocals, no bright lead, and no dramatic build4.”
How it works
From a lo-fi idea to a playable beat
Write the atmosphere in ordinary language, choose a model, then adjust the one detail that feels off after listening.
- 1
Describe the beat
Name the texture, instruments, pace, and whether you want a clean loop or more noticeable changes.
- 2
Choose a model and generate
Select an available model, choose instrumental or vocal, and review the credit cost before starting.
- 3
Listen and refine
If the beat is too busy, too bright, or too sleepy, change that part of the prompt and make another version.
Ways to use it
Start with where the beat will be heard
A beat for a reading session needs a different amount of movement from one made for a rap verse or a short video.
Study and focus
Keep the arrangement even, the lead parts quiet, and the percussion restrained.
Writing and drawing
Choose a warm loop with enough detail to set a mood without constantly asking for attention.
Videos and streams
Describe how much room the beat should leave for speech, cuts, and on-screen action.
Open verse beats
Ask for fewer melodic parts and a clear pocket when someone will write or rap over the result.

FAQ
Questions about making lo-fi beats
Straight answers about instrumental mode, tempo, vocals, downloads, prompts, and using the finished beat.
Can I make a lo-fi beat without vocals?
Yes. Turn on instrumental mode and describe the instruments and texture you want. You can also write no vocals in the prompt.
Can I ask for a specific BPM?
You can include a target BPM or a slower, moderate, or upbeat pace. Listen to the result if exact timing matters, because generated music may not land on the precise number.
What should I put in a lo-fi prompt?
Name the lo-fi direction, two or three instruments, the pace, the texture, and anything you want avoided. The examples on this page show the level of detail that works well.
Can I make jazzy or ambient lo-fi?
Yes. Describe the blend directly, such as jazzy lo-fi with muted piano and upright bass, or ambient lo-fi with slow pads and very light drums.
Can I download the beat?
Completed tracks are saved to your MusicWave library, where you can play and download the output available for the selected model and plan.
Can I use the beat commercially?
That depends on your MusicWave plan, the selected model’s terms, and the rights in anything you supplied. Review those terms before commercial use.
