Expert Usage Tips
Tip 1: Use “Extend” functions in AI platforms to build your composition section by section rather than generating the whole track at once.
Tip 2: Always specify the “BPM” and “Key Signature” to ensure the music can be easily synced with your video‘s frame rate and editing cuts.
Tip 3: If the AI produces too much “noise,” add keywords like “clean production,” “studio-mastered,” and “high-fidelity” to your prompt.
Tip 4: Use specific instrument names (e.g., “Stradivarius violin,” “Moog Sub37”) to guide the AI toward higher-quality, more specific sound textures.
Tip 5: Focus on the “emotional arc” by using descriptive words like “crescendo,” “diminuendo,” and “staccato” to control the energy flow of the track.
