Build a song around your vocal idea

Say what must stay yours

Tell the producer whether the original vocal is a final performance, a guide or a melody sketch. Those are different jobs. A final vocal should remain the anchor; a sketch may be a reference for a new performance. State explicitly if you want to keep the words, phrasing, melody and song structure.

Name the musical direction with enough detail to guide decisions. “Warm indie pop with a restrained verse and a bigger final chorus” communicates an arrangement, while a list of unrelated genre names can pull a generator in conflicting directions.

Let the arrangement follow the performance

The producer can analyze tempo, key and section structure, but a loose vocal memo may not have a steady beat or an unambiguous key. The musical decision is whether to preserve that flexibility or build a more regular backing around it.

Describe the places where the music should leave space. A fill between vocal phrases is different from an instrument playing over every word. After generation, check the beginning, phrase entrances and ending rather than assuming that a plausible backing is automatically aligned.

Know when a generator is involved

Generating new music may send a recording to a third-party music service. Dhun presents an audio-sharing permission card for those operations. Read it before allowing the send; processing your existing recording and generating new material have different data and licensing considerations.

Generated results can vary and may need editing. Keep useful versions, compare them in the project and read the AI content and ownership policy before commercial distribution. A Dhun plan is not a promise of exclusive copyright or distributor acceptance.
