Core Workflow

1. 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 [blocked] for tested prompts by genre. Consult references/metatags.md [blocked] for structure tags and vocal controls.

3. Generation Process

1. Generate 2-4 versions per track (V5 is 10x faster)
2. 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
3. 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)

4. 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)

5. Export & Delivery

• Distribution: WAV 16-bit/44.1kHz
• Preview/Draft: MP3 320kbps
• Stems: Vocals, drums, bass, guitar, synths, etc. (Pro/Premier)
• MIDI: Export available (Studio)
• Artwork: 3000x3000px for distribution

Best Practices

Do

• Specify exact BPM for tempo-critical projects
• Write original lyrics (strengthens copyright claims)
• Use era references ("80s synths", "90s boom bap")
• Keep prompts focused: 1-2 genres + 1 mood + instruments
• Front-load important tags in first lines
• Use callbacks on Extend: "continue with same vibe as chorus"
• Use negative prompting to exclude unwanted elements
• Save successful prompts and Personas for reuse
• Keep lyrics to 6-12 syllables per line for best alignment

Don't

• Name specific artists (copyright risk)
• Overload prompts with contradicting terms
• Use vague descriptions ("cool song")
• Skip the Remaster step for playlists
• Ignore content restrictions for target audience
• Chain too many Extends without callbacks (causes drift)

Commercial Rights

• Pro/Premier accounts: Commercial rights included
• Write original lyrics: Reinforces your rights
• Keep invoices: Proof of license for distributors
• After cancellation: Rights retained on created content
