How Club Ready Music makes cover art
“How is the cover art made?”
Club Ready Music's cover art is generated by the Flux Pro 1.1 image model. By default an art director prompt turns your song title, genres, vibe and the first part of your lyrics into one concrete visual concept, and that concept is rendered as a square, text-free album cover. If you type your own image idea, it replaces the concept entirely. Covers can be re-rolled.
The default path: from the song
- When you click Generate with the cover option on, Club Ready Music sends your title, genres, vibe and up to 900 characters of lyrics to Claude with the instruction to act as an art director for electronic releases.
- It asks for one striking cover image that captures the song's story and mood, described in 40 to 70 words: subject, setting, colours, lighting, composition. No text, no lettering, no artist names.
- That description is appended with a fixed style suffix: square album cover, bold graphic design, high contrast, cinematic lighting, poster quality, and an explicit ban on text, letters, words, typography, logos and watermarks.
- The prompt goes to Flux Pro, which returns a square JPEG. Club Ready Music stores it with the track and embeds it in the MP3 once the audio is ready.
Because the concept is written from your lyrics, a song about a lighthouse gets a lighthouse, not an abstract swirl. Instrumentals use the title, genres and vibe.
Your own image idea
The box under the cover switch takes up to 600 characters. Whatever you type becomes the image prompt, with the same style suffix added, and the lyric-based concept is skipped. Be visual: subject, place, colour, light. "Neon-lit wet street at night, lone figure with an umbrella, teal and magenta, low angle" works; "make it cool" does not.
Re-rolling
A track's cover can be regenerated from the result panel. Re-roll with an empty prompt and a fresh concept is written from the lyrics; re-roll with a new image idea and that is used instead. The new cover replaces the old on the share page and in subsequent downloads.
Format and size
The cover is a square JPEG. It is embedded in the MP3, shown on the share page and used as the social preview image, and included in the DJ pack as a separate file.
Why no text
Image models still misspell. A cover with a mangled title is worse than a clean image you can caption yourself. The ban on text also keeps the artwork usable as a background for your own branding.
Turning it off
Untick Generate a cover image before rendering and no image job is submitted. The Generate button label updates to show whether a cover is included.
Content
The image model runs with a moderate safety setting, so explicit prompts are refused. Keep covers safe for the platforms you will post to.
Frequently asked
Can I write my own image idea?
Yes. Type it in the cover prompt box before generating, or when you re-roll. It replaces the lyrics-based concept entirely.
Why is there no title on the cover?
The prompt forbids text so you can add a title cleanly later. Image models render lettering badly.
