Your next prompt needs a reason.

Before adding another instruction, name the musical problem you want the next change to address.

It is easy to respond to a disappointing generation by adding more words. The next prompt gets longer, but the intention does not necessarily get clearer. Before adding an instruction, name the musical problem you want it to address.

If the track feels distant, ask what creates that impression. Is the lead quiet? Is the arrangement too dense? Is there too much space around the performance? Those are different directions for the next attempt. A small, specific change creates a more useful comparison.

Keep the result even when it misses. It tells you something about the question you asked, the variation between generations, and your own taste. That record becomes useful when you return to the project.
