💡 Pro Tips

### Deck Specification
Always say "left" or "right" to specify which deck:
- ✅ "play left"
- ✅ "sync right"
- ❌ "play" (less clear)

### Beat Loops
Use natural numbers:
- "1 beat loop" = 1 beat
- "4 beat loop" = 4 beats (1 bar)
- "8 beat loop" = 8 beats (2 bars)

### Batch Commands (Enhanced Only)
Chain multiple commands:
- "play left and sync right"
- "loop four beats then activate effects"
- Use: "and", "then", "plus", "also"

### Confirmation (Enhanced Only)
Critical commands require confirmation:
- System: "Say 'confirm' to execute"
- You: "confirm" or "cancel"
