Expert Usage Tips
Use “BPM” keywords to strictly control the speed of the composition for better sync with your video cuts.
Specify the “Key” (e.g., C Minor or D Minor) to ensure the music evokes the specific emotional tone you need.
If the AI output is too chaotic, use tags like “minimalist” or “clean mix” to reduce the density of the instrumentation.
Extend the track in segments rather than generating the whole piece at once to maintain precise control over the composition’s arc.
Apply a high-pass filter in post-production if the sub-bass frequencies interfere with your dialogue or sound effects.
