What you’ll make

• A 30–90s loop that repeats cleanly
• Optional: an extended version with the same groove

Step-by-step

1. Prompt with loop intent

   Make a loop-friendly [genre] track with [textures].
   Keep a steady groove and subtle variation; no big drops or endings.

2. Generate 1–2 takes; pick the steadiest center.
3. Crop to the best cycle (often 20–40s) that feels stable.
4. Add tiny fades at start and end to smooth the seam.
5. Test on repeat 3–5 times; nudge start/end if you hear a bump.
6. Optional: Extend once with: continue same groove; subtle variation only.

Common mistakes & fixes

• Big build/drop ruins the loop: remove “epic/drop” language; re-prompt steady groove.
• Audible click at loop point: use slightly longer fades or shift crop by a bar/beat.
• Variation too high: Replace the bar with the odd fill; request “consistent groove”.
