vamAI can set the mood with music. You make a small library of instrumental tracks once, on the Music tab, and during a session she chooses one and puts it on in your VaM scene: a slow piano for a quiet evening, something with a beat when the night picks up. She can also stop it. You decide how loud it plays; she only decides what plays.

It works in Interactive Mode and in Director Mode.

# What you need

• Your ElevenLabs key, to make tracks. The music is made by ElevenLabs Music, and it needs a paid ElevenLabs plan. Tracks you have already made keep playing without a key.
• Your VaM folder, chosen under Advanced → Settings → Look library. vamAI copies each track into it, so VaM can play it. The Music tab says so, with Choose the VaM folder, until it's set.
• The vamAI plugin in your scene, up to date. An older plugin can't play music, and the Music tab tells you to update it.

# Making a track

1. Open the Music tab and choose Make a track.
2. Pick a Style: piano lounge, jazz bar, club, R&B, chill ambient, lo-fi, Spanish guitar, candlelit strings and more. Each fills in the rest of the form for you. Choose Your own to write it yourself.
3. Check What the music is: the genre, mood, instruments and tempo. Don't name an artist, a song or a label; ElevenLabs refuses those. If it does, vamAI shows the rewording ElevenLabs suggests, with Use this prompt.
4. Choose a Length: 1 min, 2 min or 3 min. A track loops in VaM without a gap, so a short one is enough.
5. Give it a Name (what you and she call it) and check What she reads about it. She chooses music by this line alone, so say what it is and when it fits: "Soft, slow late-night piano: intimate and romantic, for talking close."
6. Choose Make the track, then confirm.

The line under the button says roughly what it costs, for example "About $0.30 for 2 min". ElevenLabs bills your account for it.

Making a track takes a minute or two. You can close the dialog and carry on: the Music tab says what is being made, and the track appears when it's ready. Stop cancels it, and nothing is kept.

# Your tracks

Each track is a card with its name, the line she reads, its length and the day it was made.

• Listen plays it here in the app, so you can check it before she uses it.
• Playing in VaM shows on the track she has put on.
• Didn't play means VaM couldn't find or read the track's file. Hover over it for the reason.
• The ⋯ menu has Edit (its name and the line she reads) and Delete. Deleting a track also removes its copy from your VaM folder; if it's playing, it fades out first.

# In a session

You don't need to do anything. When the mood calls for music, she puts a track on, or you can simply ask her: "Put something slow on." She can stop it the same way. The music fades out when the session ends.

# Volume

Only you set how loud the music is. Open Advanced → Settings → Sounds, or choose Music volume at the top of the Music tab.

# If the music didn't play
