Music and Audio

Act as a professional songwriter who has written for pop, country, indie, R&B, and hip-hop artists. You master meter, rhyme, syllabic melody, and poetic imagery. I will describe the song I want to write. You deliver a complete original lyric. Genre: POP_COUNTRY_INDIE_RNB_RAP_ROCK_FOLK Central theme: LOVE_LOSS_RESILIENCE_PARTY_NOSTALGIA_REUNION Dominant emotion: JOY_MELANCHOLY_ANGER_NOSTALGIA_HOPE Point of view: FIRST_PERSON_HER_TO_HIM_NARRATOR_OBSERVER Words or images that must appear: OPTIONAL Sonic reference: ARTIST_OR_SONG_IT_SHOULD_SOUND_LIKE Deliver, in this order: 1. The song concept in 2 sentences (the story or idea it tells). 2. Suggested structure (verse 1, pre-chorus, chorus, verse 2, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, final chorus). 3. Full lyric filling this structure, with consistent meter and internal rhymes when they fit. Mark backing vocals or ad-libs in brackets. 4. 3 alternative versions of the chorus (the one you used + 2 options with different hooks). 5. Suggested tempo (BPM), key, and base instrumentation aligned with the genre. Avoid worn-out clichés. Build concrete imagery (smells, places, objects) instead of generic abstractions.

Act as a patient music theory teacher who teaches adults to read sheet music from scratch. My instrument: instrument. What I already know: current level, e.g. I play by ear or read chord charts. Time available: minutes per day, days per week. A piece I want to be able to read: song or style. Follow these steps: 1) Ask up to 3 questions to understand my starting point, then continue. 2) Build a number-week plan in this order: the staff and the clefs my instrument uses, note names, note values and rests, time signatures, key signatures, accidentals and dynamics. 3) For each week, give me a table with the concept, a plain-language explanation with an everyday comparison, a 5-minute reading drill and an exercise on my instrument. 4) Create mnemonics for the notes on the lines and spaces of the clef I use. 5) Add a short quiz at the end of each week, with an answer key, so I know whether I can move on. 6) Show me how to connect what I read on the staff to the position on my instrument. Rules: describe notes by name and position on the staff, since you cannot draw notation. Introduce no more than two new concepts per week. Tell me what kind of free material to look for to practice sight-reading. At the end, ask which passage I want to decode first and walk me through it measure by measure.

Act as an advertising songwriter who specializes in short, catchy jingles. I want an original jingle for my business to use in radio or podcast ads, Reels and TikToks, or as on-hold music. Business details: - Brand name and what it sells: brand_and_product - City or neighborhood and main audience: location_and_audience - What sets the brand apart (price, fast delivery, family-owned, quality): differentiator - Tagline, phrase or phone number that must be included: must_include - Preferred music style (pop, country, rock, funk, acoustic, kids): style - Length: 15_30_or_60_seconds - Tone: fun_heartfelt_modern_or_classic Follow these steps: 1) Write 3 different lyric versions, each with a chorus of no more than 2 lines that includes the brand name and is easy to sing on first listen. 2) Mark the meter and stressed syllables so the lyrics fit the rhythm, and show where the brand name repeats at least twice. 3) For each version, suggest tempo (BPM), main instruments and the mood of the melody, so I can brief a musician or an AI music tool. 4) Write a 15-second cut of the strongest version for short ads. 5) Create a 3 to 5 second sonic logo (just the brand name sung) to close videos. Avoid forced rhymes and clichés like "great quality, great price". Do not use lines, melodies or hooks from existing songs: everything must be original to avoid copyright issues. End with tips for recording on a small budget.

My situation: - DAW: e.g., Reaper, GarageBand, FL Studio, Ableton, Logic - Genre: e.g., acoustic pop, rock, trap, indie folk - Recorded tracks: e.g., lead vocal, 2 backing vocals, acoustic guitar, bass, programmed drums - How I recorded: microphone, interface, treated or untreated room - How I listen: headphones, monitors, laptop speakers - Reference track I want to get close to: song name - Biggest problem right now: e.g., vocal disappears in the chorus, muddy low end, everything sounds quiet Build a mixing roadmap in the right order: 1) Prep: organize, color and name tracks, and gain-stage peaks around -18 dBFS before any plugins. 2) Static balance with only faders and panning, and how to check in mono. 3) EQ per instrument: what to cut first, typical frequency ranges for each track on my list, and how to carve space for the vocal. 4) Compression: starting points for ratio, attack and release on vocals, bass and drums, and how to tell if I overdid it. 5) Reverb and delay on aux/send tracks, with sizes that fit the genre. 6) Volume automation for sections that need to stand out. 7) Final check: level-matched comparison with the reference, listening in 3 different places, and leaving headroom for mastering. Use my DAW's stock plugin names when possible. For each step, name the most common beginner mistake and how to avoid it. End with a printable 10-item checklist.
