User Guide for the Music Generation Service

Welcome to the user guide for our music generation service! This manual will help you master the essential features and create unique musical compositions.

1. Introduction

Our service uses artificial intelligence capabilities to create music based on your text descriptions (prompts) and song lyrics. You can generate music in various genres, moods, with different instruments and vocals.

Key features:

• Creating music based on text prompts.
• Generating tracks with your own song lyrics.
• Using tags to control the song structure (verses, choruses, bridges, etc.).
• Choosing from a wide variety of genres, moods, and instrumental styles.

2. Getting Started

To start, enter a text prompt describing the kind of music you want. You can add the style, instruments, mood, tempo, and vocals you prefer. Then, optionally, input your song lyrics or let the AI generate the text.

3. Working with Lyrics

You can either use AI-generated lyrics or upload your own.

If you write lyrics yourself:

• Song structure: A classic song structure (verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus) works well.
• Rhythm and rhyme: Try to keep the lyrics rhythmic and rhymed, as this helps AI "sing" them better.
• Clarity: Write clearly and understandably. Avoid overly complex or abstract phrases unless aiming for a specific artistic effect.
• Preparing lyrics for AI:
  • Break the text into lines and stanzas (e.g., 4 lines).

4. Marking up Song Text (Structure Tags)

Markup tags are special markers in square brackets [] that you insert directly into the song lyrics to indicate
to the AI the composition’s structure or other elements. This helps achieve more predictable and professional sound.

Main song structure tags:

• [Verse 1] - First verse
• [Pre-Chorus] - Pre-chorus
• [Chorus] - Chorus
• [Verse 2] - Second verse
• [Bridge] - Bridge
• [Guitar Solo] or [Solo] - Instrumental solo
• [Outro] - Ending
• [Fade Out] - Smooth volume fading at the end
• [Instrumental] or [Instrumental Interlude] - Instrumental parts without vocals
• [Break] or [Breakdown] - Section where main instruments or vocals stop, often used for dynamic changes

Example of text markup: [Intro]

Line 3 of verse
Line 4 of verse

(instrumental ending with [Fade Out])

5. Prompt Writing Tips

• Be specific: The more details you provide, the better the AI understands your idea.
• Use descriptive adjectives: Words like "haunting", "dreamy", "vibrant", or "gritty" help shape the sound.
• Separate elements by commas: This helps AI better structure the request.
• Experiment: Don’t hesitate to try different combinations and phrasings. Sometimes small prompt changes yield very different results.
• Blend genres: Try creating unique genre combinations like "Jazz-infused Hip-Hop" or "Electro-pop with orchestral strings".

6. Vocal and Instrument Instructions

• Instruments: List key instruments you want to hear, for example: Acoustic guitar, Piano, Saxophone, Synthesizers, Strings, Thumping bass, Powerful drums.
• Vocals: Describe the type of vocals needed, e.g., Male vocal, Female vocal, Whispered lyrics, Powerful clean vocals, Ethereal voice.
• Lyrics Theme/Concept: If you want AI to generate text, specify a theme such as A love song about new beginnings, A rap track exploring personal growth.
• Era or Artist Style: You can specify the time period or artist style to emulate.

7. Troubleshooting and FAQs

• AI mispronounces words or misplaces accents:
  • Write the word as it sounds.
  • Mark stresses on vowels in complex words.
• Music doesn’t match the prompt:
  • Simplify the prompt, then gradually add details.
  • Rephrase description.
  • Avoid contradictory instructions.
• Track cuts off or ends prematurely:
  • Use tags like [Outro] or [End]. Try [Fade Out].
• Structure tags don’t always work as expected:
  • This is normal; AI is still learning. Try slightly changing the text around the tag or the tag itself (e.g. [Short Instrumental Intro] instead of just [Intro]).

8. Conclusion

Creating music with AI is an exciting creative process. Don’t be afraid to experiment, try different approaches and combinations. The more you practice, the better you'll understand how to achieve your desired results with our service. Good luck with your musical endeavors!
