Pro tip

Try using keywords like "ambient," "cinematic," or "lo-fi" in your prompts to guide the AI towards specific styles, which can save you time in generating tracks that fit your vision.

Avoid overly vague prompts like "make a song." Instead, provide clear descriptions to help the AI understand what you want, ensuring better output quality.
