📌 Song Presets
Located at the bottom of the Settings tab, Song Presets let you save your current configuration and reload it at any time.
What a Preset Saves
A preset captures a snapshot of all settings across every tab — Genre, Mood, Goal, Rhythm, Groove Feel, Vocal, Structure, Sound, AI Mode — but deliberately excludes the Song Title, Concept/Story, and any pasted Lyrics. This lets you store a production template and reuse it across different song ideas.
Actions
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Save Preset | Enter a name in the text field and click Save Preset |
| Load Preset | Select a preset from the dropdown and click Load — your current title, concept, and lyrics are preserved |
| Delete Preset | Select a preset and click Delete — requires confirmation |
Presets are stored in your browser’s localStorage and are also included in Google Drive sync if enabled.
