Tips & Best Practices

1Specify exact key and BPM in the prompt (e.g. 'E minor, 90 BPM') — output matches 99%+ of the time

2Order your prompt: key, BPM, genre, mood, vocal style, instruments, production character

3Use 14+ structure tags ([Verse], [Chorus], [Hook], [Drop], [Bridge]...) and \n\n for pauses between sections

4Set lyrics_optimizer: true to create a complete song from just a style description

5English and Mandarin vocals are strongest; other languages work with less consistent pronunciation

6Use wav + 44100/256000 for production; each generation is unique even with identical inputs
