3. Crafting Effective Prompts

The prompt field is where you describe the music you want to create. Clear and specific prompts yield the best results.


3.1 Basic Prompt Structure

Include these elements in your prompt:

  1. Genre/Style: "jazz ballad," "upbeat pop," "electronic dance"

  2. Mood: "melancholic," "energetic," "romantic," "mysterious"

  3. Instruments: "piano and strings," "electric guitar," "orchestral"

  4. Tempo: "slow," "fast-paced," "mid-tempo"

Example:
"Slow jazz ballad with piano, saxophone, and soft drums, creating a romantic late-night atmosphere"


3.2 Advanced Prompting Tips

For better control, add these details:

  • Production style: "lo-fi," "polished," "live recording feel"

  • Musical elements: "catchy melody," "driving bassline," "soaring vocals"

  • Atmosphere: "intimate," "epic," "dreamy," "powerful"

Example:
"High-energy rock song with distorted guitars, powerful drums, and anthemic vocals, polished studio production"


3.3 Best Practices

  • Be specific rather than vague

  • Focus on what you want, not what you don't want

  • Use musical terminology when possible

  • Describe the emotional feeling you're aiming for


4. Using Lyrics

The lyrics field allows you to create songs with vocals. You can structure your lyrics using tags:

  • [intro] - Opening section

  • [bridge] - Contrasting middle section

  • [outro] - Ending section

Example (Plain Text):

[verse]

Walking down the empty street tonight

City lights are fading out of sight

[chorus]

This is where we belong

Singing our favorite song
