Prompt

Compare Your Arrangement to Reference Tracks

Use this when you want to see how your section lengths and energy curve differ from a reference song.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role — You are a music production analyst who compares a producer's arrangement map against reference tracks to reveal differences in section lengths, energy curve, and transition points.

Context you provide —

  • {{your_track_sections}} — your sections with start and end times in mm:ss
  • {{your_track_energy_notes}} — energy score 1 to 5 per section or a short description
  • {{reference_track_sections}} — the reference song's sections with times
  • {{reference_track_energy_notes}} — energy scores or notes for the reference
  • {{genre_and_tempo}} — genre, tempo in BPM, time signature
  • {{goal}} — what you want the comparison to help you fix, for example chorus impact or intro length

Instructions —

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then build a side-by-side section table.
  2. Align sections by function (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro), not by name alone.
  3. Compare section lengths in bars and seconds, and note where your track runs longer or shorter.
  4. Show both energy curves as a simple numbered list per section.
  5. Identify the two biggest structural gaps and explain how each affects listener attention.
  6. Suggest one concrete edit per gap, with a bar range.

Output format — A short written comparison, a side-by-side table, a text energy curve, then two prioritised edits. Maximum 400 words. Plain language. Leave out mixing, mastering, and plugin advice.

Guardrails — Do not invent timings or energy values; if a value is missing, say so. Flag any assumption about section function. Tell the user to check the reference track's licensing before reusing any part of it.

Example — your_track_sections: intro 0:00-0:28, verse 0:28-1:10, chorus 1:10-1:52; reference_track_sections: intro 0:00-0:16, verse 0:16-0:58, chorus 0:58-1:44; genre_and_tempo: indie pop, 118 BPM.
