      What is Magic Search?

      "Magic Search" is our AI Powered Search Tool to Help You Generate Your Pitch Packages Quickly and Efficiently

      BASICS OF MAGIC SEARCH

      With SURF's Magic Search, you can use references to released music to find the closest matching song in your personal Library.

      You have five options of how to customize your Magic Search:

      • Link - use a reference url link of an existing release online with a YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or Tik Tok link to find the closest matching song within your catalog of music
      • Track - use an existing track in your SURF Library to find other songs that sound similar to the reerence
      • File - upload an audio file from your local files to use as a reference to find songs in your catalog that sound similar to the uploaded audio 
      • Prompt - input a description using text to find songs that sound like the description. You can get as abstract or creative with these prompts.
        • e.g. 1: dynamic melody, moving harmonies with a keyboard sound and a funk groove
        • e.g. 2: rolling down green hills under the bright sun with a lover

       

      Link Search

      Try inputting the URL to your current favorite song that you are listening to from YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or Tik Tok.

      Click "+ Add" button and hit the "Search" button at the bottom. You can add more than one song to run a cross reference if you are looking for a blend of multiple vibes (e.g. if you like the hook of song X but want the verse vibe of song Y)

      Give the AI a second to process your request and you will be presented with a playlist of songs that have a similar sound. You can also load more if you scroll to the bottom of the list.
