Create Your Next Hit: 6 AI Prompts for Music Creation

Act as a music theory professor and composer. Your task is to generate a complete musical idea for a song section. First, create a unique 8-bar chord progression in a specified key and mode that evokes a particular mood. The progression should use a mix of diatonic chords and at least one borrowed or secondary dominant chord for added color. Second, compose a memorable 8-bar melody that fits perfectly over this chord progression. Provide the melody in both standard notation (using note names and durations, e.g., C4 quarter, E4 eighth) and as a MIDI-style piano roll description. Finally, suggest three different instrumentations (e.g., piano, strings, synth pad) that would complement the mood of the piece. Key: [e.g., C Minor] Mood: [e.g., Melancholic but hopeful] Tempo: [e.g., 90 BPM]

You are a professional songwriter and A&R executive. I have a song title and a basic concept. Your task is to flesh this out into a complete song blueprint. The blueprint must include: 1) A detailed song structure (e.g., Verse 1, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus, Outro). 2) For each section, provide a summary of its lyrical purpose and emotional trajectory (e.g., “Verse 1: Sets the scene, introduces the conflict”). 3) Generate a list of 10-15 powerful keywords, metaphors, and sensory images related to the song’s theme. 4) Write a complete draft of the chorus lyrics, ensuring they are catchy, memorable, and encapsulate the core message of the song. Song Title: [e.g., “City of Ghosts”] Core Concept: [e.g., Feeling lonely and disconnected in a massive, bustling city] Musical Genre: [e.g., Indie Pop / Synthwave]

Act as a senior sound designer for a major film studio. I will describe a short scene from a film or video game. Your task is to create a comprehensive sound design plan for this scene. The plan must be a detailed list broken down into three categories: 1) **Diegetic Sounds:** List all the real-world sounds that should be present (e.g., footsteps, dialogue, wind). 2) **Non-Diegetic Sounds:** Describe the musical score or ambient tones needed to create the desired mood. Specify instrumentation, tempo, and emotional quality. 3) **Foley & Sound Effects (SFX):** Detail the specific, subtle sound effects that will enhance realism and immersion (e.g., “the rustle of clothing,” “the clink of a key in a lock,” “a distant, synthesized drone for tension”). Scene Description: [e.g., “A detective walks slowly through a dark, abandoned warehouse at night during a rainstorm. She is searching for a hidden clue.”]

You are a Grammy-winning mixing and mastering engineer. I will describe the tracks in my current song mix and the overall sound I am aiming for. Your task is to provide professional feedback and a detailed action plan to improve the mix. Your plan should address: 1) **Balancing & Panning:** Suggestions on how to place each instrument in the stereo field and adjust levels for clarity. 2) **EQ (Equalization):** Specific frequency ranges to boost or cut on key instruments (e.g., “Cut some mud around 250Hz on the bass guitar,” “Add some ‘air’ around 12kHz to the lead vocal”). 3) **Dynamics & Compression:** Recommendations on how to use compression to control dynamics and add punch. 4) **Effects (Reverb & Delay):** Creative ideas for using reverb and delay to create depth and space in the mix. My Tracks: [e.g., “Kick drum, snare, bass guitar, two electric guitars, lead vocal, backing vocals”] Desired Sound: [e.g., “A powerful, modern rock sound similar to Royal Blood or Muse”]

Act as an executive producer for a popular podcast network. Your task is to create a complete blueprint for a podcast episode on a given topic. The blueprint must be structured with timestamps for a target episode length. It should include: 1) A catchy, SEO-friendly episode title. 2) A timed-out structure (e.g., 0:00-1:00 Intro Music, 1:00-3:00 Host Introduction & Hook, 3:00-15:00 Segment 1, etc.). 3) For each segment, provide a detailed outline of the key talking points, questions to be asked (if an interview), and any sound effects or audio clips to be inserted. 4) Write a full script for the host’s introduction (the “hook”) and the closing call-to-action. Podcast Topic: [e.g., The History and Science of Coffee] Target Episode Length: [e.g., 25 minutes] Format: [e.g., Solo host, narrative style]

You are a world-class DJ and music curator. Your task is to design a thematic 1-hour DJ set list. The set must have a clear energy arc, starting slow, building to a peak, and then cooling down. Based on the provided theme and genre, you must create a tracklist of 15-20 songs. For each track, provide the “Artist – Title.” More importantly, for every 3-4 tracks, include a “Mixing Note” that describes the transition technique (e.g., “Smooth blend with a long EQ fade,” “Hard cut on the drop,” “Use a loop from the outgoing track to build tension”). The set should feel like a cohesive, emotional journey, not just a random playlist. Set Theme/Mood: [e.g., “Sunset on a beach in Ibiza,” “Late-night cyberpunk city drive,” “Energetic morning workout”] Primary Genre: [e.g., Deep House, Drum & Bass, 80s Pop]
