Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Replace a rigid playlist with a practical set map that shows where to hold, lift, peak, reset, pivot, and close based on the room.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Build the timed energy map
Assign time windows and target energy ranges while keeping enough flexibility to extend, shorten, or skip a section.
03
Add live pivot rules
Convert the plan into decisions that can be made quickly while watching the room.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Use rough energy ratings if you don’t track BPM or key yet. Describe each track by feel, familiarity, and intensity. Start with five to eight options per section rather than trying to map your full library.
Advanced instructions
Add BPM, key, intro length, vocal density, mix-out point, and clean or explicit status. Ask the assistant to flag transition routes that need loops, stems, effects, doubles, or a hard reset.
