What is OptimizerAI? — Free AI Sound Effect Generator

OptimizerAI is a model specialized in generating short sound effects that can be used in videos and games, rather than music or speech. twitter of OptimizerAI

Possible Generation Examples : censor beep sound effect, fart sounds, scary sounds, dog barking sound 🐶, goofy ahh sound, gunshots sound, bird chirping 🦜, underwater explosion, rain sound, and all kinds of ambiances. Sounds for video, sounds for games 🎮.

OptimizerAI currently shows the State-of-the-Art, best performance as a text-to-sound model. While there are companies like Eleven Labs, Stable Audio, and Suno AI for voice and music generation, OptimizerAI excels in sound effects.

Why sound effect?

Recently, the number of content creators has been growing exponentially due to technological advancements and cultural changes. It has become easier for anyone to produce their videos, upload them, and create their works effortlessly (somewhat like AI video generators). Especially, the development of Generative AI like Sora and pika labs has been accelerating this trend.

However, to complete content and enhance immersion, auditory information must also be provided. Currently, due to copyright issues, and the difficulty of searching within the audio domain, it’s often challenging to find the exact sound needed, leading to many contents lacking good sound.

This is where generative AI can make a significant impact. A perfect sound can bring stories to life.

How to Use Optimizer AI?

OptimizerAI has not released version 1.0 yet, but the version currently in production can be tried out on their Discord server. It’s completely free for now!

Below is an example of its use. Currently, you can input text and the desired sound length and then receive 5 slightly different sounds. It is simple and clear.

Optimizer AI Use Cases

Similar to Midjourney, Generative AI can be used to broaden human creativity. For instance, instead of describing all details like “a short fanfare sound with high notes repeating quickly, ending with drums,” you can use simple prompts like “quest completed” or “in the midst of a battlefield” and wait to get ideas for sounds when you’re unsure what exactly to request.

You can see more example videos posted on OptimizerAI’s Twitter, combining generated sounds with videos.

Conclusion

If you close your eyes and listen, you’ll realize our surroundings are filled with subtle sounds, though we might not always be conscious of them.

Currently, only text-to-sound is possible, but with further development, video-to-sound and real-time generation within games are expected to become possible.

If you want to keep updated with the latest news related to this, even if you don’t have immediate use for it, I recommend you to join the Discord server.

Thanks for reading!
