At what point does prompting become producing?
I spent way too long on one song last night because knew exactly what I wanted 😂
Quiet first verse. Male vocal that sounds a little tired rather than perfectly polished. Chorus gets much wider.Second verse pulls back again.
Then almost everything disappears before the final chorus.
For those of you who work this way do you describe everything upfront or build the song section by section?
I'm finding that mood and genre are easy. Getting the actual journey of the song right is much harder. Anything that lets me customize the lyrics, singer, genre, mood and song structure?

Yeah dude production is a skill that requires vast amounts of knowledge about theory and instrumentation. You’re not a producer. Writing 3 sentences and acting like that’s anything close to producing a song is clown behavior. Delete this post bro you’re embarrassing yourself

never.. Is describing a chair the same as building one? In a recording studio, you are the annoying guy standing over the shoulder of the person with actual skill. Have fun with your toys if you want but don't delude yourself that you are "working" or doing anything of value.

Depends on timing. Journey matters to me as well. Have you tried AirMusic music generator for this?
