How to use EMMA

EMMA has three core features. This page explains what each one does, when to use it, how to connect your DAW workflow, and how to ask for better results.

Quick start

1. Create your account

2. Choose the feature

Pick Sound Design, Chord Progressions, or Stem Separation based on the job you need done.

3. Type a clear request

Say exactly what you want. Clear prompts get better results than vague prompts.

4. Refine the result

Use the first result as a starting point, then tighten it until it fits your track.

Connect EMMA to your DAW

EMMA and your DAW bridge must use the same port. If the selected ports do not match, Emma will not connect.

Connection workflow

1. Open your DAW.
2. Launch VMC or your DAW bridge tool.
3. Match the bridge port to the port Emma is using.
4. Refresh EMMA after the port is set.
5. Confirm the app shows VMC Connected.
