How to get AI to actually make decent music?



  • Hey everyone, I have been messing around with those AI music generators lately, trying to make some lo-fi beats and ambient stuff. The problem is half the time it spits out something completely different from what I asked for, like I say chill piano and it gives me aggressive techno. How do you get these tools to actually listen?



  • The secret is learning how to write prompts the AI actually understands, specifying tempo, key, mood, and even a decade or artist style makes a huge difference compared to just typing something vague like make a sad song. Getting into prompt optimization properly changes everything, there is a solid guide here https://eignex.com/ . Once you nail the prompting, you can generate tracks that actually sound like what was in your head.



  • Keep a little notebook of prompts that worked well for specific genres or moods, so you are not starting from scratch every time you sit down to create something new.
