## Track Brief

## ElevenLabs Sound Effects Prompt Structure
ElevenLabs Sound Effects works best when you give it three distinct inputs:

### 1. Style Tags (the "genre/mood" field)
10-14 comma-separated tags. Order matters — lead with genre anchors, then instruments, then mood.

Good pattern:
`dark ambient, [2-3 sub-genre tags], [4-5 instruments], [2-3 production-quality tags], [1-2 mood tags]`

Examples of strong tags by generator:
- **Suno v4 / v3.5:** Accepts BPM ("90 bpm"), key ("in A minor"), and era ("1970s analog"). Do not use artist names — Suno filters them.
- **Udio / Udio v1.5:** More permissive with reference descriptors. "Reminiscent of late-90s Radiohead" works. Use "lyrical" vs "instrumental" explicitly.
- **Stable Audio 2.0:** Prefers short, dense tag lists. Drop articles. 6-10 tags max.
- **MusicGen large:** Best with natural-language descriptions, less with tags.
- **Riffusion:** Loop-friendly; mention "loopable" if needed.
- **AudioGen:** Sound design oriented, not melodic — use for SFX beds.

### 2. Lyrics (if vocals = pop belting female)
If this track has vocals, write full lyrics using ElevenLabs Sound Effects's section markers:

```
[Intro]
...
[Verse 1]
...
[Pre-Chorus]
...
[Chorus]
...
[Verse 2]
...
[Chorus]
...
[Bridge]
...
[Outro]
...
```

Lyric rules for ElevenLabs Sound Effects:
- Keep lines under 10 words each — longer lines get mangled by the vocalizer.
- Use simple, singable consonants; avoid tongue-twisters.
- Never write stage directions like "[whispered]" inside lyric lines — use metadata tags instead.
- Chorus should repeat VERBATIM to feel like a real chorus.
- For ElevenLabs Sound Effects: wrap structure labels in square brackets exactly as shown.

Metadata tags ElevenLabs Sound Effects honors inside brackets:
`[soft piano intro]`, `[guitar solo]`, `[drum fill]`, `[key change]`, `[breakdown]`, `[acapella]`, `[tempo up]`

### 3. Title
6-10 words max. Evocative, not literal. Title influences vocal delivery on Suno/Udio more than most users realize.

## Output Format
Return exactly this block, filled out:

---

**TITLE:** [your title]

**STYLE TAGS:**
`[10-14 comma-separated tags]`

**LYRICS:**
```
[Full structured lyrics — or if instrumental, the word "Instrumental" and a 4-line description of the melodic arc]
```

**NOTES:**
- BPM suggestion: [number]
- Key: [musical key]
- ElevenLabs Sound Effects-specific flag: [e.g. "Enable v4.0 model", "Use Remix mode", "Turn Weirdness to 30%"]

---

## Pitfalls
- Do not name real artists (ElevenLabs Sound Effects will filter or hallucinate).
- Do not exceed 3000 characters in the style field (Suno limit).
- Do not use explicit content on Udio without the explicit toggle; it will soft-mute.
- If the track is dark horror creeping, reinforce that via instrument choice, not just adjectives: "muted trumpet, rainy street ambience, analog warmth" >>> "sad sounding".
