Building and Composing Music for a DAW with AI

1. Open your preferred AI Chatbot (such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet or ChatGPT-4o) to start the coding session.
2. Enter a prompt to build a web-based DAW interface containing specific instruments: piano, synth, pluck, strings, drums, and bass.
3. Instruct the AI to create a 'piano roll' feature for each instrument so that musical notes can be visually arranged.
4. Enter a second prompt asking the AI to compose a professional-quality 28-bar song.
5. Test the resulting code in a web browser to ensure all instruments are functioning correctly.
6. If the 'piano roll' is not visible or audio is not playing, copy the error back to the AI for debugging.
7. Give additional instructions to the AI to fix the 'playhead' alignment if it is not synced with the audio.
8. Ask the AI to add an 'auto pan' function to all tracks so that the 'playhead' always remains within the visual display during playback.
9. Click the Play button or activate the 'loop' function to listen to the automated composition.
