Wreszcie ogarnąłem, jak pisać szczegółowe prompty w Udio i ułożyć cały utwór od zwrotki po refren.

Como produtor independente, sempre quis criar músicas completas sem depender de estúdio, e este curso me deu exatamente isso. Aprendi a escrever prompts detalhados no Udio, descrevendo o gênero, o clima e até a textura vocal que eu queria. A parte de estruturar a faixa do início ao fim, com versos e refrão coerentes, foi a que mais me ajudou. Antes minhas tentativas saíam soltas e sem direção. Agora consigo gerar faixas que parecem realmente pensadas. Recomendo demais para quem está começando na música generativa.
