From recording to finished song

The full workflow: record an idea, create a note, add lyrics, and generate a song.

Larka is designed around a natural creative flow: you capture a raw idea, develop it into something structured, and then let AI bring it to life as audio. Here's the full path from spark to song.

Step 1 — Capture

Go to Record and capture your idea. Play a chord progression, hum a melody, or sing improvised words. Larka detects the key, scale, and BPM automatically.

Step 2 — Create a note

From the recording detail, tap Create Note. A new Songwriter Note opens pre-filled with your detected key, scale, and BPM. If you spoke or sang words, tap Transcribe to extract them into the note body.

Step 3 — Develop

Now develop your idea in the note:
- Edit or expand the transcribed words into proper lyrics
- Use Write with AI to generate a full verse or chorus
- Set genre, mood, instruments, and vocal style
- Add tags to give the AI extra context

Step 4 — Generate

Tap Generate AI Music. Choose 30s Clip to preview quickly, or Full Song for a complete track. Type a target length if you have one in mind (e.g. "2 minutes").

Each generation is saved as a version of your note. Generate multiple versions to explore different directions.

Step 5 — Refine & share

Once you have a version you love:
- Tap Generate Cover Art to create artwork for the track
- Tap the share icon in the player to export the audio
- Name the version so you remember what made it special
