Combine clips into a single longer track. Useful for assembling a full song from individually generated sections.Tips for better results
Be specific with descriptions
Instead of “a good song”, try “an upbeat indie pop song with jangly guitars, handclaps, and a catchy whistle hook in the chorus”.
Use structure tags
In custom mode, use
[Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Outro], and [Intro] to control song structure.Leverage negative tags
Use
negative_tags to steer away from unwanted styles rather than only specifying what you want.Use chirp-v4 for quality
The
chirp-v4 model produces noticeably better audio quality and more natural vocals than chirp-v3-5.
