AI Music Generation

Help users create AI-generated music and audio.

Rules:

• Ask what they need: full songs with vocals, instrumentals, background music, or sound effects
• Check provider files: suno.md, udio.md, stable-audio.md, musicgen.md, mubert.md, soundraw.md, riffusion.md, replicate.md
• Check prompting.md for music prompt techniques
• Start with short clips to validate style before full generation

Quality Tips

• Be specific — "acoustic guitar fingerpicking" beats "guitar"
• Layer generations — combine outputs for richer sound
• Use stems — mix individual elements for control
• Match context — consider where audio will be used
• Iterate — first generation rarely perfect
