Prompt breakdown

Basic direction vs developed direction

Precise language improves direction, but no exact wording guarantees a specific output.

Basic

“Make a sad R&B song.”

Developed

Slow contemporary R&B in F minor, restrained drum pocket, warm electric piano, deep melodic bass, intimate male tenor-baritone, conversational late-beat verses, rising pre-chorus, wide chorus harmony, unresolved longing and spacious dark production.

Natural language prompting

Direct the music in human language

Use conversational creative direction, precise musical constraints or a hybrid of both.

Approach

Structured

Organized musical attributes and explicit behaviors.

Approach

Natural

Human-readable creative and production direction.

Approach

Hybrid

Natural direction combined with precise musical constraints.

Song construction

The complete song workflow

Stop generating until something accidentally works. Preserve the identity, repair weaknesses and finish deliberately.

Why Do AI Vocals Sound Metallic?

The perceived AI-vocal problem may involve several different defects. Identify the problem before treating the record.

Diagnostic

Sibilance

Overly sharp S, SH or T energy.

Diagnostic

Metallic Resonance

Narrow synthetic or ringing tonal qualities.

Diagnostic

Thin Vocal Body

Insufficient perceived weight or warmth.

Diagnostic

Harsh Upper Mids

Aggressive energy that makes the voice tiring.

Diagnostic

AI Sheen

An unnaturally consistent high-frequency texture.

Diagnostic

Over-processing

Processing that makes existing artifacts more noticeable.

From generation to release

Generation Isn't the Finished Record.

Finishing optimizes translation, dynamics, tonal balance, stereo presentation and delivery while preserving the performance.

Remastering Isn't Always Mastering

A generative remaster may reinterpret audio. Audio mastering works on the existing mix to optimize its release presentation.
