Arrange a song in Veena

To arrange a song in Veena is to turn a loop into a finished structure (intro, verses, choruses, a bridge or a drop, an outro) on real tracks you can still edit. CoProducer plans the sections and builds them out for you, or you lay them out by hand on the timeline. Both are free, in your browser, and every clip stays yours to move.

Ask CoProducer to arrange it

Open Ask CoProducer in the dock. For a new song, CoProducer writes a plan first: the sections, their bar lengths, which parts play where and a to-do list you watch tick over in the chat. Then it builds the parts, arranges them and runs a finishing pass. For a loop you already have, ask for the structure:

• "Turn this 8-bar loop into a 3-minute pop song: intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, final chorus, outro."
• "Add a 4-bar build before the drop, and drop the drums out for the first 2 bars of the break."
• "Shorten the second verse to 8 bars, and stagger the intro: pads first, then bass, drums from bar 5."

CoProducer can move or swap bar ranges and whole sections, duplicate a section with variation, add dropouts, shorten a section, stagger entries and spread a loop across any span, with loops landing on bar lines. When it finishes it tells you plainly what was delivered and what, if anything, it skipped, and one Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac) reverses the whole change.

Arrange a song in Veena by hand

1. Mark the sections. Hover the ruler and click + Section after the last section, or right-click the ruler and choose New section here, then type a name. Right-click a section for Rename section or Delete section, and drag the line between two sections to move it.
2. Move clips. Drag a clip along the timeline or to another track. It snaps to the nearest beat line or flush against its neighbour; hold Alt to place it freely.
3. Copy and repeat. Press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, Ctrl+click empty space to copy a clip there, or right-click a clip and choose Duplicate Selected Clip.
4. Cut and silence. Press C for split mode and click a clip where it should be cut; press M for mute mode and click a clip to silence it. Delete removes a selected clip.
5. Loop what you're working on. Drag across the ruler to set a loop, and double-click the ruler to switch looping on or off. Without a loop, playback returns to the start when the song ends.
6. Set the frame. Tempo (40 to 300 BPM), key and time signature sit together in the transport bar.

Section types CoProducer knows (as of September 2026)

CoProducer arranges with 11 section types: intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, hook, bridge, build, drop, break, outro and loop. A full beat starts with three musical layers (four when the genre calls for it) plus at most one audio element, and a restrained idea runs about 12 to 16 bars before you ask it to grow into a song.

Tips for arrangements that move

• Take things away. A chorus hits harder after a verse with fewer parts. Ask CoProducer for dropouts rather than more layers.
• Build around your own take. Record a vocal or drop a demo first. CoProducer measures where your syllables land, sets the tempo to match and keeps your take in the song while it arranges the rest; see recording in Veena.
• Change one section, not the song. Name the bars: "make bars 33 to 40 half-time" edits only those bars.
• Arrange together. In a shared project, sections, clips and edits sync live for everyone; see collaboration.

When the structure is set, balance it in mixing, and edit individual notes in the piano roll. The AI arrangement assistant shows more structures, the glossary defines arrangement, and every capability is in the Veena help centre.
