Prompts to try first
Quick moves
- "load a punchy analog kick on track 1 and write a four-on-the-floor pattern"
- "shift the bassline up an octave"
- "put MPC 60 swing on the hi-hats"
- "set the delay time to a dotted eighth"
- "add an EQ Eight to every track and tell me what's clashing"
Full builds & mixing
- "build a 32-bar deep house loop at 122 BPM in F minor: kick, rolling bass, warm electric-piano chords, a pad, and light FX"
- "make an evolving boom-bap beat at 90 BPM with ghost snares that come and go each loop"
- "load one-shots from one of my packs into a drum rack and program a driving psytrance pattern at 142 BPM"
- "add reverb and delay sends to the chords and lead, and drop a riser at bar 16"
- "copy the drum and bass clips into the Arrangement at bar 17"
- "play the loop, watch the levels, and improve the mix, but ask before changing anything"
