Creating music with ChatGPT - Part 12: One hundred useful prompts for creating a Hardcore Techno track

And here is the twelfth issue of our tutorials already!
Similar to 9 ( https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/2023/11/tutorial-for-creating-music-with.html ) and 11 ( https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/2023/12/creating-music-with-chatgpt-part-11.html ), this is a large list of prompts, especially for beginners, but everyone else might find them useful, too!
This list is specifically about the Hardcore Techno genre, and the prompts are tailored for crafting a Hardcore Techno track.
They shouldn't be that hard to adapt to any other style of music, though.
Or you can simply *adapt the tutorial* itself and generate a list of 100 prompts for *your genre* by chatting with ChatGPT!

Just another word of advice for beginners to AI music production:
When working on a specific track, it's best to introduce you and your track to ChatGPT and give as much context as possible throughout the whole conversation.
For example: before using a prompt about generating basslines, let ChatGPT know about the style / mood / contect / etc. of the track you are working on, and / or what type of bassline you need specifically.
To read more about this, check tutorial 1 ( https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/2023/09/how-to-write-music-using-chatgpt-part-1.html )
In fact, this tutorial work bests when used together with the other tutorials in this series. ( https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/p/how-to-create-music-with-chatgpt.html )
But for now, enjoy your AI music production once more!
