Best Practices

Describe the genre clearly — Include genre, tempo, instruments, and vocal style in your prompt for best results.
Structure your lyrics — Use Verse:, Chorus:, and ## markers to guide the song structure.
Use instrumental markers — Add ##[Instrumental] for sections where you want music without vocals.
Experiment with sample rates — Use 44100 Hz for production quality, lower rates for prototyping to save bandwidth.
Keep lyrics within limits — Lyrics should be 10-3000 characters. Shorter lyrics produce tighter, more focused songs.
