Eleven Music gives you granular control to edit your song composition without having to start over. You can easily add new parts, edit lyrics, delete sections, and even fine-tune the musical style of each individual section.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to editing your track:
1. Adding a New Section
To add a new part to your song (like a bridge, a solo, or a second verse):
- To add a new section, there are two ways to achieve this:
- In the song structure, find the section you want the new section to follow. On the left-hand side of that section, you'll see a "+" symbol that will say "Add section below" when you hover over.
- In the timeline, scroll to the end of your song structure and click the "+" sign, which will add a new empty section at the end.
- In the song structure, find the section you want the new section to follow. On the left-hand side of that section, you'll see a "+" symbol that will say "Add section below" when you hover over.
- Once you've added this new empty section, you can drag it to extend the duration, add lyrics, or a descriptive prompt (e.g., "[energetic guitar solo]").
2. Editing Lyrics or Prompts
To change the lyrics or the instrumental prompt of any existing section:
- Simply click inside the text box for that section (e.g., Main Groove 1, Breakdown).
- Type your new lyrics or edit the existing prompt.
3. Modifying the Style of a Section
For more advanced control, you can define specific musical elements to include or exclude from a section.
- Hover over the section you want to edit and click the "Edit styles of this section" link.
- A "Section styles" window will pop up. Here you can:
- Include styles: Add specific musical characteristics or production details. For example: gradual filter cutoff, hi-hats fade out, long delay feedback on vocalise.
- Exclude styles: Prevent certain elements from appearing. For example: abrupt ending, new elements.
- Click Save to apply these style rules to that specific section.
4. Deleting a Section
If you want to remove a part of your song entirely:
- Hover over the section you wish to remove in the timeline.
- Click the delete icon, the "X", in the upper left corner of the section.
- The section will be removed from the structure, and a notification like "Outro deleted" will briefly appear.
5. Generating Your Changes
After you have made any edits—whether adding, deleting, or modifying a section—you will see a notice at the bottom that says "Song composition has changed."
- Your edits will not take effect until you click the Generate button.
- Once you click Generate, the model will create a new version of your track that incorporates all of your changes.
