Audioscape

What Audioscape does

Audioscape Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated music intelligence infrastructure company purpose-built for the Roblox ecosystem. Its core offering is a set of REST APIs (Music, SFX, Analytics), a Luau SDK distributed through the Wally package manager, and a developer portal that authenticates via Roblox OAuth. Underlying these products is a proprietary AI/ML pipeline — CLAP-embedding-powered semantic search, beat grid analysis covering ~96% of the catalog, section labels covering ~91%, MIR fields (loudness, mood, key, danceability, Discogs genres), and a 60-day exponentially decayed engagement-ranking model — applied to a 705,077+ track Roblox catalog and a UCS-categorized sound effects library. The platform's signature reference deployment is The Block, Roblox's flagship concert venue, where AudioScape's data layer drives automix, beat-synced lighting, and dance sync.

The company's revenue model is a tiered, usage-capped API subscription — Free (1,000 requests/day), Pro (50,000 requests/day), and Enterprise (custom) — augmented by an MCP server that distributes the same catalog and SDK scaffolders into AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop). Go-to-market is fully product-led and self-serve: developers sign in with Roblox OAuth, receive an API key instantly, and integrate via Wally, while sales-led outreach is reserved for artists, labels, and concert operators. The customer base is bifurcated between (1) Roblox game developers using the SDK and APIs for in-experience music, and (2) artists/labels using the Artist Dashboard to monitor where and how their catalog is played. AudioScape additionally operates Bloxtunes (a Spotify-like Roblox experience acting as a live reference implementation), Backstage (a concert run-of-show system), Charts & Trends, a Studio Plugin on Roblox Create, and an Audio Discovery Portal — together forming a flywheel where in-game player signals improve catalog rankings for developers and demand visibility for rights-holders.

The company operates a discovery engine covering 705,077+ Roblox tracks, exposes REST APIs for music search, SFX search, and player-behavior analytics, ships a Luau SDK for Roblox game developers, and runs an MCP server that brings its catalog and SDK tooling into AI coding assistants.

Product overview

Audioscape is a Music Intelligence Infrastructure platform for Roblox, built as a unified product portfolio comprising consumer experiences, developer tools, and APIs. At the core is the Music Flywheel: player behavior signals feed into a discovery engine covering 705,077+ Roblox tracks, powering analytics and trending charts that developers and artists use to optimize music selection. The developer-facing stack includes the Developer Dashboard/Portal (developer.audioscape.ai), the Luau SDK (Wally package), and a set of REST APIs (Music API, SFX API, Analytics API). The AudioScape MCP Server extends these tools into AI coding assistants. On the consumer side, Bloxtunes Player (Roblox game) and the Audio Discovery Portal (portal.audioscape.ai) provide direct music experiences, while the Artist Dashboard (bloxtunes.co/artists) serves the label/artist segment. Additional tools include the Studio Plugin (Roblox Create marketplace), Backstage (concert run-of-show system), and Charts & Trends dashboard. AudioScape powers the music intelligence layer for The Block — Roblox's flagship concert venue — enabling automix, beat-synced lighting, and dance sync.
