Core Path 1 · Training Path 3 · Start HereProtect the Source Before You Edit Begin with one song version that already contains something worth protecting. It does not need to be flawless. It needs enough creative value that you would be disappointed if an edit damaged it. Protect the source. Diagnose before editing. Change the smallest thing that can solve the real problem.

Evidence advances your project. Before You Begin You need one selected source or two to four candidates the platform link headphones or reliable speakers 30–60 uninterrupted minutes Do not do this yet do not generate new versions do not replace, extend, cover, remix, or remaster do not spend credits before the problem is clear Step 1 — Choose the Protected Source Listen to each candidate from beginning to end. Do not choose the newest version automatically. Give extra weight to strengths that may be difficult to recreate. Candidate Vocal Emotion Hook Arrangement Repairability Protected source selected Why this version is worth protecting Step 2 — Create the Protected Source Record Project name Song title Song purpose or intended use Platform used Protected source title and link Date created and model used Parent generation or uploaded source Strongest section Hardest quality to recreate Why improving this source is better than restarting Step 3 — Document What Already Works Record at least five strengths. Include a timestamp or section, what works, and why it matters. Strength 1 Strength 2 Strength 3 Strength 4 Strength 5 Step 4 — Build the Preserve List For each item, record what must remain, where it appears, why it matters, acceptable variation, and unacceptable damage. Preserve item 1 Preserve item 2 Preserve item 3 Step 5 — State the Initial Problem Approximate start and end What I hear Why it matters What may need to change What must not change Repairability and Repair Cost Is the problem bounded enough to repair? Yes No Uncertain Is it important enough to justify the cost and risk? Yes No Uncertain Likely cost: credits, time, drift risk, outside editing, or rights uncertainty Case Study — The Last Light Home Protected source: Version 04 Strongest quality: restrained raspy lead vocal Problem area: 1:18–1:31 Observed problem: the second lyric line is rushed; the guitar drops under the final phrase; the transition loses stability Preserve items: lead-vocal tone, guitar pulse, chorus entry, restrained emotional posture Initial route: continue to diagnosis Rights and Source-Material Check I created or have permission to use the uploaded audio. Collaborator approval is documented where needed. Voice or likeness consent is documented where needed. Cover, remix, or source-material uncertainty is recorded. Progress Gate 1 — Source Protected One protected source selected Source link and best available audio saved Lyrics, prompt, model, settings, and source history recorded Relevant rights or permission information recorded Five strengths documented Three Preserve List items completed Initial problem described in observable language Repairability and repair cost considered Route and next action recorded Record Your Status Project Status In Progress Progress Gate Complete Returned to TP2 Routed to TP4 On Hold ASK JACK Needed Date updated Next action Next: Identify the Exact Problem The next lesson will turn your initial complaint into one precise problem statement with boundaries, evidence, risk, and repair priority.
