STEP 53 OF 67 · YOU ARE THE AUDIO DESIGNER

Choose each track's source and record its license

Music is AI-generated or bought. Suno Pro and Premier include commercial use (Suno keeps authorship and licenses it to you); ElevenLabs Music Pro covers indie games. Marketplace tracks come with a license file.

How to do it

  1. Add each track to the asset list as Music.
  2. Record the plan or store you used and keep the license.
  3. Purely AI-generated music likely cannot be copyrighted in the U.S.; write your own lyrics or edit it to add human authorship.
How AI speeds this up

Ask Duke for music prompts that fit your story. Every track's license is tracked in your asset list.

Example from a sample game

Ashfall: 9 tracks from Suno Pro with edited arrangements, 3 bought from a library.
