Name: I Write Mines
Brand: I Write Mines

Question 1

Will Mr AP write my hook or lyrics for me?

Accepted Answer

No. He reads your beat, maps the bars, and flags weak rhyme, stress drift and lines that don't say anything — but every word in the lyric pad is typed by you.

Question 2

Do I have to upload an instrumental?

Accepted Answer

You can write lyrics with nothing loaded, but the beat sweep — sound, tempo and topline shape — only runs once you've dropped an MP3 or WAV in.

Question 3

Who owns the song I write here?

Accepted Answer

You do, outright. I Write Mines claims no rights in your lyrics, melodies or recordings — it's a workshop, not a publisher.

Question 4

What's included on the free plan?

Accepted Answer

Beat sweep, bar map and the lyric pad are open in beta. Longer concept-video runtime and heavier grading passes are what Pro and Premium unlock — see the pricing page.

Question 5

Can I move a scratch lyric into a real project?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the scratch pad autosaves in your browser, and one click turns it into a library project that syncs to your account.

Question 6

Does the AI direct the whole video for me?

Accepted Answer

It builds the render from choices you make — artist credit, intro, direction, timing and style. You're picking every creative call; it's staging your song, not writing your concept.

Question 7

What formats can I export?

Accepted Answer

Lyric videos and directed concept films both render to MP4 at 1280×720, ready to upload anywhere.

Question 8

Do I need to own the master to make a lyric video?

Accepted Answer

You need the rights to the audio you upload — if it's your own record or something you're cleared to use, you're fine.

Question 9

Is there a runtime limit?

Accepted Answer

Beta includes a set number of concept-video minutes; Pro and Premium raise the cap. Check current minutes on the pricing page.

Question 10

Who owns the finished video?

Accepted Answer

You do. It's your song and your render — we don't take a cut or a credit.

Question 11

Can I rehearse without another actor in the room?

Accepted Answer

That's the point of the room — load your sides, cast an AI reader for the other part, and run the scene solo, hands-free or tap-to-advance.

Question 12

Does the AI coach my performance or write new lines?

Accepted Answer

It reads opposite you and can flag pace or missed cues; it never rewrites your sides or feeds you line readings you didn't choose.

Question 13

What can I customize about the reader?

Accepted Answer

Age, gender, character type, backstory, style and pace — cast the scene partner the way the scene actually needs.

Question 14

Where do my self-tapes go?

Accepted Answer

Into the tape locker in this room, tied to your account — download or share from there.

Question 15

Do I need a script upload, or can I paste sides?

Accepted Answer

Either. The deep sweep works on uploaded pages or pasted text.

Question 16

Will it rewrite my script for me?

Accepted Answer

No — it grades. You get scene-by-scene notes on what's wrong and why, plus study models, but the rewrite is yours to do.

Question 17

What does a full pass cover?

Accepted Answer

Four passes: scene-by-scene coverage, a continuity ledger (timeline, props, geography, setups/payoffs), a dialogue pass, and an overall studio-style coverage report.

Question 18

What file types can I upload?

Accepted Answer

Standard screenplay formats and plain text/Word docs — the reader handles industry-standard scene headings.

Question 19

Is this only for feature scripts?

Accepted Answer

No — pilots, shorts and stage plays all run through the same four-pass sweep.

Question 20

Is a full grading pass free?

Accepted Answer

A limited grade is included in beta; the full four-pass coverage on longer scripts is a Pro/Premium feature — see pricing for current limits.

Question 21

Does it change my words when it narrates?

Accepted Answer

No — the narrator reads exactly what you wrote. Nothing is rewritten, trimmed or paraphrased.

Question 22

What manuscript formats work?

Accepted Answer

EPUB, PDF, Word (.docx), plain text, Markdown, RTF and Fountain — chapters are detected automatically.

Question 23

Can I narrate just one chapter instead of the whole book?

Accepted Answer

Yes — pick any subset of the detected chapters, or paste a scene manually.

Question 24

How many narrator voices are there?

Accepted Answer

Six studio voices across four delivery styles, with a preview before you commit to a full render.

Question 25

What do I get at the end?

Accepted Answer

A downloadable MP3, yours outright — no rights are taken over your book or the narration.

Question 26

Is this an AI producer that builds the beat for me?

Accepted Answer

No — it's an engineering desk. You bring the vocal and the beat; the AI coach walks you through cleanup, balance and mastering moves. It never generates the music itself.

Question 27

What's a checkpoint in the mix ladder?

Accepted Answer

A concrete mixing stage — gain staging, EQ, compression, and so on — with a target you're working toward and a coach note on what's off.

Question 28

Can I use my own genre reference?

Accepted Answer

Yes, genre presets set starting targets for the desk, and you can push past them however the record needs.

Question 29

What do I walk away with?

Accepted Answer

A mixed and mastered session you can export, plus the settings history so you can see what each move changed.

Question 30

Do I need studio gear to use this?

Accepted Answer

No — a decent pair of headphones and a browser mic for recording vocals is enough to get started.

Question 31

Is this a video call with an AI writer in it?

Accepted Answer

It's live video with your actual co-writers, on one shared page, with Mr AP coaching the table — he doesn't write lines for anyone in the room.

Question 32

What kinds of sessions can I run?

Accepted Answer

Song, book or script sessions — each mode has its own shared-page structure suited to that kind of work.

Question 33

How does splits paperwork work?

Accepted Answer

The room walks you through a splits sheet and registration steps (BMI, ASCAP, SoundExchange, MLC) before anyone leaves the session.

Question 34

How many people can join a room?

Accepted Answer

Enough for a normal writing session — invite co-writers with the room code, no separate accounts required to view.

Question 35

Who owns what's written in the room?

Accepted Answer

The writers who wrote it, per the splits you agree on — I Write Mines doesn't take any stake in the work.
