| Pro | $10/mo (4,800 credits, stem downloads, commercial rights) |

Stem download (separate vocals/instrumentals) requires paid plan
Use audio conditioning with a 20-30 second reference clip to anchor the style more precisely than tags alone
Download stems and layer them in GarageBand or Ableton for hybrid human/AI production
Use inpainting on a weak bridge rather than regenerating the full track
Set the prompt to be explicit about production style: "808 bass, sidechain compression, cinematic strings"
