How long a Club Ready Music render takes

Most Club Ready Music tracks are ready within a few minutes of clicking Generate. The time is spent in three places: the music model, the stem split, and mastering.

Where the time goes

Generation. The music model composes a full track of up to five minutes with vocals. That is the longest single step: usually two to three minutes, sometimes ten or more when the model's queue is busy.

Stem separation. Once a take arrives, Club Ready Music splits it into vocals, drums, bass and other so it can silence the vocal across the intro and outro. The split runs on a dedicated audio worker and scales with track length.

Mastering. Loudness is measured in one pass and applied in a second, then the MP3 and WAV are encoded. This is the quickest step.

Cover art is generated in parallel with the music, so it rarely adds to the total. Final tagging, which embeds the artwork and cue points in the MP3, happens a few seconds after both the audio and the cover are in.

What you see while you wait

The studio polls for progress every few seconds. The status badge moves from Queued to Rendering to Ready. Each take becomes playable as soon as it finishes, so Take 1 can be ready while Take 2 is still rendering. The share page for a pending track shows a "Still rendering" panel and reloads itself when audio is available.

You do not need to keep the tab open. Rendering runs on the server, and a finished track waits in your crate.

What makes a render slower

• Longer tracks. A 5:00 track takes longer to generate and to split than a 2:00 track.
• Busy periods. Jobs queue on the model provider when demand is high.
• Cloned voices. Rendering with a cloned voice can take slightly longer than a stock male or female voice.

When something is wrong

If the render fails, the track shows Failed with a short error message and you can re-run it from the studio. See the related answer on failed renders for what that means for your credit.
