# Examples

No audio is bundled here by default, because most generated outputs are
derivatives of MiniMax-Music3 (license-sensitive) and the author's own tracks are
private (see [../DATA.md](../DATA.md)).

## To reproduce demo outputs

1. Install with the `[capture]` extra and download the base model
   ([../REPRODUCING.md](../REPRODUCING.md)).
2. Run one of the passing generation paths (`music3lab --help`), e.g. prompt-free
   best-of-N or reference-style ranked generation.
3. Each run writes `*.wav`, `*.json` (metrics/provenance), and `*.report.md`.

## Publishing your own demo clips

If you want short demo audio in this repo:

- Only publish audio **you own and are licensed to share** (e.g. short excerpts
  of your own recordings, or clearly-owned generated output once you have
  confirmed the MiniMax-Music3 license permits it).
- Keep clips short (5–10 s) and place them under `examples/` — but first remove
  the blanket `*.wav` ignore in `.gitignore`, or force-add specific files:
  `git add -f examples/my_demo.wav`.
