01Main Music Prompt

PASTE THIS AS YOUR STYLE PROMPT Lo Fi Hip Hop, Warm and Inviting, Piano, Lo Fi Boom Bap, Subtle Sub Bass, Sparse and Minimal, Coffee Shop Morning, Mid 85 to 100 BPM, Major Bright EXCLUDE: No Vocals At All INSTRUMENTAL ONLY - this is a bed for a Product Video and vocals would fight the voiceover MOOD: Warm and Inviting at Flat for Talking Over energy LENGTH: 30 Seconds TOOL: Any Text to Music Tool in Instrumental Mode

02Loop and Structure Brief

LOOP: Must Loop Seamlessly INTRO: Two Bar Intro BUILD: No Build Stay Flat BREAKDOWN: No Breakdown OUTRO: Clean Loop Back SEAMLESS RULE: the last bar must lead back into the first with no gap or click NO SUDDEN JUMPS: a loop that changes volume at the join is obvious on repeat TEST IT: play the track twice back to back and listen for the seam SHORT LOOPS WIN: a clean 15 second loop beats a badly cut three minute track TEMPO: Mid 85 to 100 BPM so cuts can land on the beat if you want them to

03Voiceover Space Brief

VOICEOVER SPACE BRIEF - THE PART MOST MUSIC IGNORES VOICEOVER PLAN: Voiceover Throughout FREQUENCY: Carve Space Around 1 to 4 kHz THE HUMAN VOICE LIVES BETWEEN ROUGHLY 1 AND 4 kHz - keep that band uncluttered MELODY: Simple Repeating Motif so nothing competes with the words DYNAMICS: Moderately Compressed LOUDNESS: Quiet Bed Under Voice NO BUSY LEAD: a prominent Piano line will pull attention off the narration DUCKING: drop the music three to six decibels whenever the voice enters BASS: Subtle Sub Bass - heavy low end muddies a spoken track on phone speakers CHECK ON A PHONE: most viewers hear this through a phone speaker, not headphones AVOID: No Vocals At All

04Edit and Sync Brief

APPROACH: Music First Then Edit VIDEO: Product Video ENERGY SHAPE: Flat for Talking Over matched to how the edit moves TEMPO: Mid 85 to 100 BPM BUILD THE MUSIC TO THE EDIT, not the edit to the music, unless you are cutting to beat OPENING: the first two seconds set the tone before anyone decides to keep watching SILENT AUTOPLAY: much social video plays muted, so music supports the edit and cannot carry it ENDING: Clean Loop Back landing with the final frame DELIVER: WAV Uncompressed for YouTube

05Versions and Rights Plan

PRODUCE: Short and Long Cut WHY VERSIONS: a long cut for the full video and a short loop for social saves regenerating later STEMS: separate stems let you mute the drums under dialogue and bring them back after FORMAT: WAV Uncompressed TARGET: YouTube CREDITS: every discarded take still costs credits - draft short, then extend the keeper RIGHTS: Check Your Plan Allows Commercial Use Commercial use depends on your plan tier - verify before publishing anything monetised Content ID: check whether your platform can flag AI generated music before you upload at scale Keep records of your prompts and generations AI music licensing is still evolving - verify current terms for significant commercial work

The voice owns 1 to 4 kHzKeep that band clear or the words fight the musicCore rule
Duck three to six dBDrop the music whenever the voice enters, bring it back afterStandard practice
No busy lead lineA prominent melody pulls attention straight off the narrationCommon mistake
Watch the bassHeavy low end turns to mud on a phone speakerPlayback reality
Check on a phoneMost viewers hear this through a phone, not headphonesAlways test
Compress the bedConsistent level sits under a voice better than wide dynamicsTechnique

Making It Loop

Last bar into firstThe join must have no gap, click or level changeDefinition
Test by doublingPlay the track twice back to back and listen at the seamBest test
