## Answer

ACE-Step 1.5 from ACE Studio writes songs that follow the tempo, key and time signature you set, in more than 50 languages and up to ten minutes long. In Music Lab set them under Advanced in the Session step, and the song opens as a project you can split, mix and master.

## Best for

Use ACE-Step 1.5 when the music has to fit something exact: a 120 BPM edit, a song in a singer’s key, a long piece for a stream or a non-English vocal. Pick Mureka 9.5 for a finished-sounding pop song you will keep editing, and Lyria 3.5 for a mood from one sentence.
