Writing good Creative Credits
Your credits are the first thing a listener reads about how the music was made. Here is how to write them well.

Pick the honest category
Mostly Human when four or more strata are human, Human + AI when it is a real mix, AI-Crafted when generation did the making. Let the work choose the label for you.
Claim only what is yours
The six strata are lyrics, melody, vocals, arrangement, mixing, and mastering. Claim a stratum when the work there is genuinely human. Prompting a tool to write your lyrics or compose your melody does not qualify.
Name every AI tool
Suno, Udio, ElevenLabs, and the rest. Naming the tools you used is the whole point of Creative Credits, and listeners respect it.
Add a short narrative
One or two plain sentences on how the track came together do more than a perfect taxonomy. Tell the story of the making.
Sign the attestation
Your declaration is signed into the preview. Anyone can drop it on synthcamp.net/verify and see the credits you signed.
When unsure, say more
If a detail feels borderline, disclose it. Fans trust an artist who is upfront about the process.
The difference
The same track, declared twice
Both declarations below are honest. Only one of them makes a listener lean in. This is exactly what your credits block looks like on the release page.
