Points turns a line of text into a real track in about a minute, then hands that track to a real producer who finishes it properly. Type what you hear. A dusty boom bap loop at 88 BPM, late night keys with tape hiss, an afrobeats groove with a log drum. Pick a style pad, pick a length, press generate. The meter fills on real progress rather than a fake percentage, and the track lands in your library as audio you can play, scrub and keep. Every prompt comes back as two takes, not one. Play both, keep the one that sounds like the record in your head, and get on with it. Then the part that matters. Take any draft to pointsmusic.com and send it to a real producer. A person takes your sketch, your notes, and builds the finished version with real instruments, real mixing and real taste. You keep the rights. They get paid. Generators replaced producers. Points pays them. WHAT YOU GET Five free tracks a day, real audio, yours to keep. Two takes on every prompt, so you are choosing rather than accepting. A library that plays back with a waveform you can scrub. Style pads and lengths, so a prompt is a starting point rather than a lottery ticket. A price and a deadline in front of you before you commit to a human producer, on pointsmusic.com. WHO IT IS FOR Producers who want to sketch fast and finish properly. Artists who can hear the record but cannot build it yet. Anyone who has typed a prompt into a generator, got a file back, and had nowhere to take it. Points by Affirmi Music. Prompt the model. Then prompt a human. SUBSCRIPTION Points Plus is an auto-renewable subscription at $9.99 per month, billed to your Apple ID.
