How it works

SR Generator builds a full, editable song from your band. You bring the band (real voices, real players, or ready-made styles); it writes and performs the track, and every part stays editable afterwards.

1. 1 · Make a band

   Go to Band. Your band has a name (edit it at the top) and keeps its own singers, players and songs. Need a second band with a different line-up? Hit + new band — switch between them any time. Everything saves as you go.

2. 2 · Add vocalists

   Under Vocalists, three ways to add a voice:

   • Record straight from your mic, or upload vocal clips (10–30s of clear isolated singing).
   • Upload a song they sang on — the vocal is separated out for you before training. Or use …or from a song to create the singer and train in one step.
   • Set the pitch / brightness / rasp sliders by hand.

   Hit Train voice, then tick generation OK so they can be used.

3. 3 · Add players

   Under Players you have three ways to fill each instrument (lead / rhythm guitar, bass, drums, keys):

   • Signature styles — one click for a ready-made playing style, acoustic through modern metal, for any instrument. Tweak it after.
   • Learn from songs — upload tracks a player performed on (or a Google Drive folder link), or record a part live. Their instrument is separated out and their style is learned: drive, tone, timing feel, how busy, how dynamic. First training installs the separation engine (one time).
   • By hand — add a player and set the style sliders yourself.

   Tick generation OK for anyone you want to use.

4. 4 · Start a song

   From Home, give the song a title and pick a genre / feel (metal, sludge, doom, punk, acoustic, folk, synthwave…). The blend slider sets how far the band bends toward that genre: 0% plays like your band, 100% goes fully into the style. Add a sentence about the mood if you like.

5. 5 · Lyrics (optional)

   On the Story step, type lyrics — one line per row — or leave it blank. If blank, a placeholder scaffold fills in so you can hear the structure; come back and rewrite it, then regenerate.

6. 6 · Cast the players

   On the Cast step, hit Cast the whole band — it puts each member on their part and arranges the singers. Or set each instrument yourself from its dropdown. Open tweak on any instrument for the dials (sparser↔busier, darker↔brighter, softer↔harder, laid-back↔pushed, straight↔swung) and the explore knob — 0 stays true to the learned style, higher lets them try new things. Set an instrument to mute to drop it from the song.

7. 7 · Vocal arrangement & mix

   Still on Cast, under Sections, hit edit cast on a section (a chorus, say) to build the vocal stack:

   • add role → pick lead (one voice), background (blended stack), gang (unison shout), harmony / double (pitched — set each singer's interval in semitones: +3/+4 a third, +7 a fifth, −12 an octave down).
   • ensemble = how many stacked takes (8 / 12 / 16). width spreads them in stereo.
   • Add singers to the role. Each singer's % is an allocation, not a fader — it decides how many of the takes they sing (e.g. 50 / 30 / 20 on an ensemble of 10 → 5 / 3 / 2 takes).
   • Each singer also has a vol (−18…+6 dB) and pan (L↔R) slider for the actual mix, plus a per-role fx chain (de-esser / EQ / compressor).

   A typical chorus = one lead role + one background role + a harmony or two. Per-line overrides sit below the sections.

8. 8 · Generate, play & edit

   Hit Generate song. On the Studio step you get the full mix, a master, and every instrument and vocal as its own stem. Open a section to regenerate just that part, swap a player or singer for one section, lock a section you like, or roll back — the rest of the song stays exactly as it was.

   Hit ▶ next to any finished song (Home or the Songs page) to load it in the player bar at the bottom — it keeps playing as you move around the app. Delete a song from the Songs page.

Good to know

• Nothing generates without consent. Each singer and player has a “generation OK” toggle; it's off until you set it.
• It's deterministic. The same song, seed and settings always produce the same audio — so a small tweak changes only what you touched.
• Band DNA (separate page) is optional: point it at a folder or Drive link of your catalogue to learn the band's overall sound and feed it into generation.
• Signature styles and genres are style archetypes, not anyone's recordings.
