Project Setup
Gather requirements:
Type: Single track / Playlist / Album Purpose: Personal / Client / Commercial distribution Style: Genre(s), mood, energy level Voice: Male / Female / Mix / Instrumental Language: Target language for lyrics Duration: Track length or playlist total time (up to 8 min per generation) Constraints: Content restrictions, brand guidelines 2. Prompt Construction
Style prompt formula:
[Genre], [BPM] BPM, [Mood], [Key instruments], [Vocal type], [Production style]
Negative prompting (V5): Add exclusions directly:
Upbeat pop, 120 BPM, no guitars, no harsh distortion, clean mix
Lyrics structure: Place meta-tags in lyrics field (more effective than style prompt):
[Section Tag] [Mood/Energy instruction] Lyrics content (6-12 syllables per line for best alignment)
Consult references/style-library.md for tested prompts by genre. Consult references/metatags.md for structure tags and vocal controls.
- Generation Process Generate 2-4 versions per track (V5 is 10x faster) Select best output based on: BPM accuracy (verify with external tool if critical) Vocal clarity and emotion (V5 has authentic vocal tone) Mix quality and instrument separation Adherence to prompt Apply post-processing: Extend: Add sections, fix abrupt endings (use callbacks: "continue with same vibe") Remaster: Subtle (uniform quality) / Medium / Wide (more variation) Crop: Remove unwanted intro/outro Cover: Change style or voice Replace Section: Regenerate specific parts (Studio)
- Quality Checklist BPM matches target (±5 BPM acceptable) Vocals clear and expressive No audio artifacts (V5 has better frequency separation) Structure complete (intro → verses → chorus → outro) Energy level appropriate for purpose Lyrics audible and correct Musical memory consistent (motifs recur correctly across 8 min)
