You absolutely can get that -- but not through "commanding" it.

If you were jamming with a musician who doesn't speak your language, (perhaps they're from a non-verbal culture, and are JUST learning words, so they don't understand ANY of the archetypes that you do), if they misinterpreted "woodblock once every quarter note", you have a couple different options;

  1. try to learn their language and say it EXACTLY with zero room for ambiguity (might be ridiculously hard)
  2. repeat the exact same thing you just tried verbatim, albeit louder or more slowly (condescending, and assumes that your collaborative partner is an idiot)
  3. show them exactly what you mean using the available tools you've both agreed upon (using audio upload to show it 6-60s of woodblock every quarter note so it can understand and follow along)

But like if you make an analogy with the coding models, you don’t get good results by saying “make me a fun app that my kid would like” you go through it piece by piece and this is not my experience working with suno

charred merlin
#

I'd say it's not SO far off -- because you can get really interesting one-shot generations from AI trained on making websites -- like https://websim.ai/, or these quick websites that I asked Grok 2 to "no-code" for me

#

That in mind, the "one-shot generations" from Suno are AMAZING, and often are top-40 radio quality in and of themselves, but as I say regularly, the more specific of the song you hear "in your mind's ear", the less likely you'll be to achieve it as a one-shot generation through the use of complex prompting -- you'll need to break it down into multiple segments with extensions and create it -- the exact same way you would approach building an app with an LLM -- start off with the foundations, UNDERSTAND AND TRY TO BREAK THOSE, then slowly add things to the stable foundation otherwise it's all a house of cards

#

lmao, little sneak peak of the stuff I google search

cinder slate
#

Well ok true some of the no-code tools can do stuff like that… but it’s clear that you can “talk to copilot” about code and it “understands it”. My ideal music-gen would understand like “ok 30s intro swing 80bpm the chord progression is E major A major, then… etc.” like it doesn’t seem like it “understands” music if that makes sense, maybe just me

charred merlin
#

Sounds to me like you've spent a fair amount of time learning the quirks of natural language processing LLMs, and have a reasonable familiarity with what you can expect as output from them -- would you say that's correct?

#

I’m a software engineer so yeah I have worked more with chat bots and coding but also midjourney and stuff. Maybe there is a lot about suno prompt engineering that I need to learn (I learned a bit) but usually I get the best results by just rolling the dice again and again (and the results are really awesome that’s why I’m here don’t get me wrong)

#

I can also produce music so I can take the output and finesse it but I’m taking about the technology itself, the API seems really black-box and strange(?), even compared to Udio IMO (not sure if we’re allowed to talk about them lol)

Doesn't seem like they need to be mutually exclusive, especially how the lawsuit is attempting to get them to reveal their trade secrets. But I feel like arguing the same opinion from different sides of what I hope is the same page.

Coca Cola sure doesn't like to talk about the content of Merchandise 7x, and KFC doesn't really like to talk about their herbs and spices, regardless of whether or not there's lawsuits, because that's what makes those companies those companies.

If they revealed so much about their methods that anyone else could just copy the exact same thing, Coca Cola wouldn't be as standout of a brand.

I agree that there's a big gap between the way we'd LIKE to use Suno vs the way that we currently interact with it, but keep your eyes out for developments in the industry, because this isn't just a "Suno" thing.

LANDR is developing a new set of training data to enable companies to access something akin to a song-side API for greater control over prompting. https://www.landr.com/fairai/

LANDR

The LANDR Fair Trade AI program offers new opportunities for musicians to monetize their work and participate in the evolving landscape of AI in music.

It appears that Suno creates a unique version of the voice by utilizing its tone and pitch rather than replicating the voice exactly as it is. To me, this seems like an intelligent approach to generating a variety of voice types.

charred merlin
#

But I urge you to think back to the days before you were familiar with LLMs, back when it was purely "magic in a box" that you didn't understand the twists and turns for -- it's still magic to you nowadays, but you've grown with it and learned to use it collaboratively in a way that neither of you could have done as well in isolation.

It'll be the same with yourself and Suno sun-enough

charred merlin
# desert geode It appears that Suno creates a unique version of the voice by utilizing its tone...

I might have misinterpreted the original question, but extending from a voice isn't the same as using it in training data. The extension simply analyzes the patterns in the waveforms (probably oversimplistic analogy) and then tries to continue.

Training data would imply that after uploading a segment you can recall it from a BRAND new generation that doesn't extend off the first. I've seen nothing suggesting this.

cinder slate
#

The proprietary chatbots are still based on public research and published scientific ideas, and you can control them in very fine grained ways. I hope this is the case for Suno et al. but that’s not my impression

charred merlin
#

If it's the former -- that's what it's supposed to do, so that it can try to continue the music you provided it -- this is NOT the same as longterm vocal training, or anything similar to ElevenLabs vocal cloning etc. Any patterns regarding your particular vocal timbre, etc, aren't retained and trained upon, they're only considered at runtime when "Extending"

desert geode
#

The example I sent was not the best, but I think I’ve deleted the others

#

The closest thing you'll find relating to how Suno works is Bark (open-source text-to-speech which I think uses the same underlying technology.) Both Suno and Udio don't make public any of their inner workings and although Udio for example gives you a little more control over things, there's no public information at all as to the internals of what those controls do.

Most likely the reason they don't make this info public is because they're running a business and it's essentially "trade secrets", rather than hiding info because there's something naughty going on. I would love for them to open-source their older models as new ones are made available (e.g. Chirp v1 isn't available at all any more, it would be nice to let people see how that worked.) But, at the same time, some other company could start up as a competitor. There's also a lack of documentation due to no prompt being 100% guaranteed to work and it seems like prompts are also learned as part of the model rather than being input manually during training.

It seems to me that what Suno actually does with uploaded voices (or any sound really, even instruments) is just try to mimic it based on what the model was originally trained on. So it'll never be 1:1 the same but it'll be pretty close.

slight tangent, are we even allowed to try to understand how Suno works? this is an interesting clause from the TOS:

The devs keep any inner workings like this private, even from me. The most I would have insight into is potential upcoming features (as part of alpha testing, which you also know of.) As far as I am aware the models themselves remain static after release, and don't get trained on any user-uploaded content. There seems to be some layer in-between the prompt input and the audio generation that they could tweak manually (there was that bug where songs kept saying "start" at the beginning for example), maybe some parameters that control the general audio rendering behaviour, and possibly some auxiliary functionality such as the gluing process involved in "Get Whole Song" that can be adjusted. All of these seem to be manual processes though.

Prompt hacking is NOT hacking

If Suno didn't want you to try to learn, they would have banned furrybeans, paimon and I a long time ago.

As long as you're entering text into the lyrics field without the intention of injecting malicious code, it's not hacking. You're being experimentative.

"Experimental" playlists from established Sunovators is a great place to look at how to "creatively break" Suno -- actually experiments and iterative learning instead of "rolling the dice" with a boatload of metatags and style prompts until a song respects enough of them to trigger your confirmation bias.

These beautiful weirdos actively try to break it, and then once they find something weird, they prod at the wound until you get something legitimately horrifying, or oddly beautiful.

Is song structure the Suno equivalent of hands for Midjourney? 😄

Having real problems with structure, loopbacks on choruses, etc. - even with the "simple" interface and having Suno generate the whole song. It won't even follow its own lyric structure.

Done some digging; tried using meta-tags, tried using some alternate workflows that worked better than the tags ( the Markdown version in particular ), but still had issues. Dug around in search engines and articles. Checked out Reddit. Nothing suggested seems to work all the time.

Is the only way to explicitly guarantee a song structure ( especially alternative ones like Choruses where each iteration has slightly different lyrics ) - other than getting lucky - to extend and input each section separately? Or am I missing something obvious ( which is entirely possible 😄 )?

safe hazel
#

the repetition of verses is a widespread issue that I don't think anyone really has a fix for. From my own experiences when I went from always structuring every verse as 4 lines to using different numbers of lines for a verse the repetitions happened less often (but they still happen sometimes). So it seems to me like verse structure has some impact on repeating verses but I cant really go much further than that.

whole comet
#

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I suspected that was just a system issue that we'll have to wait for it be developed/trained/evolved past.

I haven't actually tried extending and adding each verse/chorus/bridge/instrumental separately - but I've heard that works. A lot more work/credits - but if it gives the structure one wants, it could be worth it.

I'll give that a try.

Three weeks ago, the music generated was of very high quality. Once I had chosen the genre and vocals, everything fit together and the results were what I expected. Unfortunately, over the last week the funds I spent have been wasted. The quality of the music generated has dropped dramatically and the results are significantly different from what they used to be. What happened? Why has there been such a decline in quality?

Hi, I use SUNO today to generate a Chinese song, when I put the lyric words” 红鞋”means red shoes it sang in Cantonese. I changed the words to”红色鞋” which is the same meaning. It sang correctly in Chinese. Is this because the dataset was not clear? I do know there are classical songs in Cantonese often use word”红鞋”.

graceful condor
polar spade
#

Going off on a wild hair. It could be interpreting any language into " Chinese" , first of all, so, if you write in Mandarin, French, English, whatever, it interprets in to Cantonese by default. But that assumes Cantonese is it's default "Chinese" language. Keep in mind that Suno is based, as I understand, out of San Francisco, an area prominent in Cantonese people, if chatgpt is accurate. So there may be that influence to choose which language is "Chinese". I wonder what music and songs suno had used to learn from, and which songs were available, he thinks rhetorically.

As wuv says, try Mandarin, instead of "Chinese".

untold briar
# lime mauve Hi, I use SUNO today to generate a Chinese song, when I put the lyric words” 红鞋”...

I don't know of a simple word you can add to the style to force Suno to use Mandarin or Chinese. My guess is a simple solution probably exists. In other languages, users have found using text formats that are common for children or language learners sometimes help. Diacritics, or latin accents in languages that would typically use capital letters to indicate stressed syllables.

One prompt method that works for language accents is to add a lot of very obvious accent phrases. For British English "Could you do me a favour and pass the biscuits?" or something silly. You can add these after your real lyrics, and then Extend the song from before these extra phrases so they are not part of the final work. They are just used to make your Song look 'more british' to Suno. It's possible something like this would work for Chinese or Cantonese. Maybe adding very obvious phrases could do the same thing.

I know you're dissatisfied with repeating verses, etc, which are common "hallucinations" that we're willing to help with here in tech-chat, but if I can explain the difference that I mean in "song structure" and "lyrical flow"?

When you would expect 4 bars for verse, it wasn't uncommon for v2 and v3 to attempt to fit 6 instead of 4, or would introduce weird timings as if it had borrowed or lent a beat earlier in the song -- weird timing stuff if you're familiar with music theory, or just "funky parts" of a song otherwise. 😛

v3.5 is almost mind-reading level when it comes to adhering to a logical flow for how the lyrics should be sung (this is separate from lyrics being repeated or dropped due to investigable "hallucinations"), and it absolutely blows v3 out of the water in terms of being able to "hook onto" an existing pattern and continue from it (so much in fact that you're unable to extend audio uploads with v3 or v2 because they aren't powerful enough to give consistent results 👀 )

Good to keep in mind that none of this is "magic" yet, and the biggest determining factor on Suno's output is your input, but if you have any specific questions, we're happy to help step by step 😄

Like I said - I'm sure it will improve over time - and I'm having fun with it "as is". I'm sure you're aware that other AI projects have similar "quirks" - look at image generators and hands 😄 They eventually got it; I'm sure music generators will eventually overcome their unique hurdles.

I'm less interested in whether Suno is perfect - it isn't and it's not realistic for me to expect it to be perfect - but whether there's workaround for structural idiosyncrasies.

I agree that technology improves over time, but you raise a perfect comparison between image-gen and music-gen 😄

NOW we're at a point where models like Flux can generate text and fine anatomy like hands without any complex prompting or "know-how", but it was always possible if you were willing to go deeper than a "one-shot generation".

Sure, in image-gen there were "textual inversion" collections like 'bad-hands' to use in the negative prompting field (https://discord.com/channels/1069381916492562582/1253341197917884530 fingers crossed we see it in Suno one day! 🤞), but those were still basic adjustments to help guide "one-shot generations", and could only help nudge what was going to happen anyway.

For those who have specific songs or images in their mind, there are always people poking, prodding & starting bleeding-edge discussions in the github comments -- that's sort of what tech-chat is like. We try to figure out how people can use the existing tools to get the songs that they want.

He'll argue the fact that I don't have a crush on him, but @naive quail is one heck of a Sunovator, and all of his "official" songs likely, conservatively, have 5+ extensions each in order to take "a good one-shot" and turn it into "the fully mastered song that he hears in his head", or at least taking steps toward that.

#

Suno absolutely isn't perfect, it's trained to create on autopilot given little-to-no guidance, and learning how to make the best use of it is an ongoing learning process for new users, advanced users, and devs alike 👀

And then as soon as you think you've mastered it, they release a new model that acts ENTIRELY differently, with it's own strengths, weakenesses, and best use-cases when combined with others #🪲┃bugs-web message (for instance, v3.5 goes "generic" without strong prompting or a hook to continue from, but can still give interesting results, while v3 is more broad and versatile as the model dropdown suggests, and I've just recently learning that v2 ISN'T included as a novelty, and legitimately has powerful use cases 👀 )

My instrumentals average ~ 10 to 12 extensions each.

For tracks with vocals, if I have a something specific in mind, I'll go the extension route and usually do an extension for each part of the song, like I do for the instrumentals (Intro, Verses, Choruses, Bridge, Solo, etc...). Suno will occasionally churn out a 1-shot gem when experimenting with lyrics and styles to see how Suno responds, I'll happily slap a cover on those and call them done when I like 'em enough.

I completely understand the passion behind the idea, and it's not a matter of saying personally "you are not allowed", but just working within "fair use" law.

Perhaps you could record a fan version of it, and while you still technically wouldn't have 100% ownership of that, it's at least a pro-active step to handling things in the right way, seeing as how there MIGHT be a grey area in what's allowed from region to region -- but if you have any serious intentions, it's always best to read the https://suno.com/terms terms of service, or get "official" advice from support@suno.com or a copyright lawyer 🙏 💪

To be fair, that's the exact same situation as uploading someone else's work, except now it's starting to seem like you're trying to find ways around giving credit to the original artist, or putting "creative transformative effort" into it.

I'm just an armchair-advocate, and my approval or disapproval really doesn't matter, but while I'll always advocate for people choosing how to approach a problem, IMHO, there actually IS a right and wrong way to handle using someone else's content, so I'd advise that you contact a copyright lawyer to discuss exactly what you'd like to do with someone else's song, and what legal rights you have to do so.

Since we usually rap about this kinda stuff in private messages, I'll pivot here for a quick second if it could help others -- I know that you still put a LOT of work even into your one-shots, but that breakdown of the extensions shows a lot of passion for a specific song.

Since I think a lot of people "turn off" when they see these kinds of suggestions because some users may believe they "don't have enough credits to learn that kinda way" or they "shouldn't have to pay to actually learn how to use Suno".

I know personally how I feel, but do you have any free time to share any insights on your different types of songs?

The method works well and allows you to extensively tweak and nitpick the hell out of each section (as long as you have credits to burn). I just wish we could have Suno generate smaller extensions for a lower credit amount - I often only use 15 to 30s from any extension and I'll typically know in the first 15 seconds, or so whether I'm going to save the extension. Hate having to pay the full amount for each of those, especially when I discard tracks before they've even generated 30s of audio.

I know you've not come around to that, in my opinion it may be because you're a LITERAL multi-instrumentalist and haven't felt like you've needed to put a personally satisfying amount of artistic expression into, or the learning process was "too simple" to feel responsible.

I'm honestly surprised how easy it's becoming -- while you still need to front the costs yourself, a lot of distribution partners from DistroKid to LANDR are taking the heavy lifting out of setting that up -- you let them know the song, pay the money ,and they try to secure the rights 👀 --literally EVERYTHING about the music industry is changing, not just music production. Slimebag managers are trying to rebrand themselves as talent partners and whatever because people can just do the same stuff, better, faster, and often for next-to-free ❤️

It's a value-added service though, so simply being partnered with DistroKid or LANDR doesn't immediately mean that you can go wild with it, but it means that they're willing to front the leg-work so you can release your music through their service, instead of people simply not being able to legally release covers because they're worried about legal ramifications.

Just to wrap things back to Suno-specific though, even if you reach out to the Beatles and get permission to remix Hey Jude, as noted in the popup and in the TOS, you need to have EXCLUSIVE rights to it, meaning that you've managed to convince the Beatles to let you be the only person in the world who is allowed to use it. This also explains why public domain is a POWERFUL legal concept for how much creative transformation needs to occur before you can claim any sort of copyright, but that's an entirely conversation altogether.

Question: How to can I improve quality of Suno generated audio in terms of artifacts (sound distortions)?

Results are amazing but it’s easy to hear there are frequently random sound distortions and other artifacts. Any well-known approach to fix these?

Any suggestions on who i should use instead? Example Distrokid?

I heard DistroKid is okay for beginners until it isn't. I know Robert said he was burnt by them.

Also DistroKid services do not keep your songs up when you are no longer subscribed unless you opted into a leave a legacy plan (which is much cheaper to do as an album)

#

When lookong into distributors, you MUST look into at least two items in the TOS:

  • How the royalty is paid to you
  • What happens if your account ever gets terminated.

Even if you think the 2nd one won't apply, you know what they say: hope for the best, prepare for the worst. It can be as little as someone submitting an unsubstantiated claim or you enlisting into Google Ads to get your account cancelled

(the latter due to some distributors thinking you got botters with the amount of traffic the Ads can bring)

#

When you have time to spare, check out Top Music Attorney TOS coverage (links at #🗣️┃chill-chat message)

Sure her videos can be click-baity but the TOS really helped me with some of the legal terms used in there.

She also pointed out how suspicious TuneCore and Symphonic TOS are because they state the company will retain your royalty if your account is terminated for whatever reason, which could be as little as a baseless user complaint

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to think about a feature to produce your prompt instant as stems? The stems feature is great, but as we all know you can't really seperate voice from music 100% clean as the frequencies merge too much.
TBH I don't know if that would be even possible for the AI to create the song not mixing instantly

unique stone
#

At the moment it's not possible as the AI is trained on fully mixed music so that's all it can output It'd need to be trained on stems which are probably a lot harder for the team to get hold of. Would be very nice though.

#

Is there an overview or a list of tags that can be used in Custom mode? I often have the problem that songs are sung in such a way that there are hardly any breathing pauses, which makes it difficult to perform such a song with my own band. Is there a tag for inserting short pauses?

Unfortunately there isn’t a place to post this kind of suggestions, since the discord feedback channel was shuttered.

The devs don’t poke their heads into tech-chat for ideas too often — this is the laboratory, and maybe the devs get scared that we’ll pull up a chair and ask them to stay and answer 100 questions 😛

Interesting!

So you have a DAW, and you know music. Here is my suggestion. For now, as Suno works on most of what you are looking for (We all want the same or similar features); Use Suno as your starting point for your professional music production. This includes generating sound ideas, melodies, vocals, etc. Take the stereo track to your DAW and do STEM Separation. Since you are a professional music producer, I will assume you know about Steinberg's Spectral layers or Izotope's RX. Both can go a long way in restoring or separating audio tracks into stems. I am sure you would thank Suno for what it is today.

I have an odd question and a request...
First of all, 80% of my generations don't work with [Female voice] and [Male Voice] prompts, it's either random, or it's just one voice.
Is there any documentation on what prompts in brackets can be used so you could add more depth to the song?
I know the * for echoes, and (for ad-libs) and [Piano Solo]
But I want to know what else I could use, since there's little to no documentation found.

And now the request.
It would be nice to have a song "seed" or "base" in case you like the way it sounds, and you would like to use the same generation but different lyrics, or same lyrics and voice but different soundtrack.
Or a way to generate/inspire a generation via your previous songs (not reuse prompt feature)

Or even a way to download the vocals separate from the soundtrack, and vice-versa.

Also, for a way to alter/edit the same song.
For example, I didn't like how my verse 2 sounds, and I'd like to change the lyrics just there, instead of generating another song.

I would like to add different instruments in a song and even add choir, but the choir feature didn't work for me, the piano solo and instrumental prompts mostly worked for me, now i'd like to add for a different song organ solo.
Has anybody tried that?
What other prompts works?
Like mention a key the voice should be in, like a deep bass, a growl, a scream, etc.?

#

idk if i'm allowed to link a song posted on YT here (being made by me using Suno) but i'd like to make something similar, and expand upon the generation, and make more vids for my channel

# timid gazelle I would like to add different instruments in a song and even add choir, but the ...

I just finished a "cubano" (latino dance) style song that I wanted to get some good harmonies in the chorus, so I've had luck on it and others with adding "barbershop" without my song sounding like a barbershop quartet , but caveat that cubano has a strong barbershop harmonies anyway. "A cappella" can work on occasion as well. Suno pulls the harmony concepts (frequently along with a bass line) of a cappella as long as its later in the prompts and not always just "no music". After all, a cappella is Italian for "as in the chapel" or.... choir.

the song's backbone is this:


*(Verse 1: Narrator 1)*  
In the darkness, I recall, (call)  
Whispers soft, they start to call. (recall)  
Memories dance in the night,  
Echoes fade, but dreams are bright.  

[break]
[bass drop]
[instrumental]

*(Verse 2: Narrator 2)*  
I remember when we laughed,  
Under stars, our secret path.  
Every glance, a spark ignites,  
Together we can touch the light.  

*(Chorus: Both)*  
[choir]
Come on, let’s chase the dawn,  
Feel the whispers, hear our song.  
In the night, we rise so high,  
With your hand, I’ll touch the light.  

*(Verse 3: Narrator 1)*  
Underneath that silver moon,  
Life was sweet, we found our tune.  
You were there, a fire bright,  
Guiding me through all the night.  

*(Verse 4: Narrator 2)*  
Echoes of our laughter ring,  
In my heart, you are my spring.  
Through the shadows, we will fight,  
Hold me close, we’ll touch the light.  

*(Chorus: Both)*  
[choir]
Come on, let’s chase the dawn,  
Feel the whispers, hear our song.  
In the night, we rise so high,  
With your hand, I’ll touch the light.  

*(Bridge: Narrator 1)*  
Let’s remember all our dreams,  
Every sigh and silent scream.  
In the darkness, love will guide,  
Together, side by side.  

*(Bridge: Narrator 2)*  
Every moment, every breath,  
With you here, I feel no death.  
We’re the echoes of delight,  
Together, let’s touch the light.  

*(Chorus: Both)* 
[choir] 
Come on, let’s chase the dawn,  
Feel the whispers, hear our song.  
In the night, we rise so high,  
With your hand, I’ll touch the light.  

*(Outro: Both)*

In the darkness, we’re alive,  
Whispers soft, our hearts will thrive.  
Hand in hand, we’ll shine so bright,  
Forever, we will touch the light.

# tranquil dune i'm trying to make a duet but it's not working

Does your genre typically have duets in the real world? I do notice that "romantic " and "kpop" will do better to sneak in duets on my songs. Obviously if a banger hardcore screamo song, you may want to try the prompts towards the end.

I'll post a stupid romantic song to demonstrate.

Kpop though tends to start with female vocals anyway, if you add a rap, it will switch to male often enough. A few generation , say 3 out of 7 I've gotten duets. Again, depending on your direction and style, it's trial and error.

tranquil dune

#

I use the (phrase) styles all the time. I have been trying to get the choir harmony, but I only get something when not trying for it.

polar spade
#

Well, stupid song here. But I thought I had romantic in it. Oh well. It still did Duet. Likely because suno recognized it as romantic to begin with.

#

Oops... I hate the photo, sorry. How to turn that part off?

naive quail
#

Suno definitely recognizes "Choir" in the style and as a tag in the lyrics, but it may be one of those things that gets easily overpowered by other styles/tags to the point that Suno just ignores it. It may help to over-prompt for the choir or actually start the song with it, which might make it easier to pull it in elsewhere in the song structure.

Suno has a lot of sound effects in the training data... we just don't have a reliable way to call on most of them 😦

Anyone know why nearly all forms of rock are turning into country now? Really sucks

lunar anvil
#

Have you tried changing the style to something else and then back to rock?

#

I find that sometimes after many generations of the same style it goes down a path it wants. Just by changing the style to something else then back to the original it is almost a like a reset.

polar spade
prisma wave
#

I'm talking about Suno

naive quail
#

the lyrics in v3.5 can have a pretty strong effect on the style, so if they match up with something in the training data that's associated with country, the track may end up leaning country. Might need to over-prompt some rock related styles/tags

...and maybe remove any references to beer, pickup trucks and your dog. K_grin

In case you were unaware, you can combine the extended parts by clicking "Get Whole Song" on the latest part you want to combine (option appears in the menu AFTER that part generates).

It is recommended to combine the first extension then extend THAT new Get Whole Song for consistency (though there are reasons you may not want to do so, such as force changing the music style with the termination extension method).

If you also were not aware, check out https://suno.wiki

"Get Whole Song" will combine parts 2 and 3. Once you get the whole song, since you like parts 2 and 3 (3 added because 2 wasn't originally long enough) you can then extend again - and again, etc. Ultimately, you can then lop off part 1 in a DAW or video editing program and retain parts 2 through 10, 11, 12, and so on.Once you're done extending, get whole song again and you're done. Note ... extending without occasionally uniting them via GWS, might morph the music style... Extening from GWW will retain the overall music style.

😎 Hello! The song I'm presenting here comes from a text that has been sitting in a drawer for about ten years. Originally, the text was in the form of dialogues between a mom, a dad, a grandma, a grandpa, a little boy, and his sister! However, Suno doesn't yet allow for this type of exercise with multiple voices; at least, I haven't been able to manage it. At most, two voices are possible! So, I reworked the text to adapt it to the mom's voice... I really hope you enjoy it...

Ultimately, I am rather satisfied with the result, although a hint of frustration remains from having altered a text that I was particularly fond of, especially since it is, of course, the kind of text that is marked by personal experience... So, I still want to know if any of you have encountered this kind of barrier during the creative process?

Melancholic, Hopeful, Ballad, String ensemble, Reflective, Emotional, Mid-Tempo, French Chanson song. Listen and make your own with Suno.

you're correct, dark rock would deffo have those instruments.

# rich timber Is there anyway to correct recording or use the same music and singer?

"Correct recording" this could be a lot of things .. a few specifics would help me answer. Regarding getting the same voice -- once you find an iteration with the voice you like, simply "extend" from a point in the song, making sure to keep the original voice within the captured part. If you want the same voice and stanza beat, make sure the extension as both voice and stanza. Same thing with voice, stanza, and chorus.

Do you have videos for training to use the system?

You're not wasting your money-trust me. You're having a difficult 10 minutes. Yes [Male Vocals] put this in the song description and in the song style box. First, however, refresh the window. Repaste your lyrics into the lyrics box. Reset the time stamp 1 second earlier or after. This will get rid of most earlier influences. Try again.

umbral sluice
violet tundra
#

Okay, that's fine, something in the lyrics can trigger a femal vocalist or a male vocalist.

sharp solstice
violet tundra
#

Okay, it's just a matter of trouble-shooting. Keeping everything the same, enter in a new set of lyrics. Same female vocals? If not, your lyrics are triggering something.

sharp solstice
#

Suno originally has to repeat it many times to get good results, but I think it's really hard to make a voice of the gender you want at the desired time...

violet tundra
#

Also, the [song style] will impact the vocals. You can adjust the style description without really impacting the output style. For instance, [k pop] can often lead to female vocals. But you can change this to [pop with percussive synth] and get something similar sounding but primarily male vocals.

#

@empty anvil what you were looking for?

#

My style input was both specific and broad in a few tags. I find the specific often get the specific instruments I am looking for while the broad ones at time yield little treasures for something you might not have considered but that may even at times exceed your original intent. But in all honesty. I find I am disappointed far more then amazed. But like the lottery that is what keeps us clicking on the CREATE button and making Suno more revenue so gotta take the good with the bad lol.

#

Hm, is it possible to make a very short complete silent break (for example short before the chorus)? [break] didn't make such a break.

hoary otter
#

am certain it is, have heard them assuming there is a tag

#

I know break give you space within the composition and usually reduces your instrumental complexity but the sound still remains though lower

#

"An instrumental ‘break’ can replace a verse standing as its own section, or might be a short bridge in the music. These seem to work best when only one is used at a time, but adding commas inside the prompt may work. Experiment!"

#

looking to see if they speak to silence

#

not seeing it in Suno's advertised tags but lord knows their list is maybe 1% of what the AI is capable of

#

go figure:

**In SUNO music creation, you can use the [silence] tag to create a period of silence in your song. This tag helps to insert a pause or break, adding dramatic effect or simply giving the listener a moment of rest.

#

compliments of Co-Pilot 🙂

hey so i'm poring over the "documentation" (🤣) and the wiki and stuff, and in the wiki it says:

Use AI feedback to refine lyrics and composition before final adjustments:

Discard less successful attempts and allow the AI time to refresh.

can someone plz explain what does it mean to allow the AI to "refresh"??

like here's the cynical take: "we won't tell anyone how to control the outputs, so to get what they want they will just have to spend loads and loads of tokens"

naive quail
#

The internal list of tags that they've intentionally coded is probably quite small. They're likely as surprised as we are at some of the things that Suno responds to.

unique stone
#

Yeah I have no knowledge of how it's actually trained, but it's known that it's trained on millions of songs and I doubt someone has manually combed through it all and labelled all of the song data with the appropriate tags... so there's probably a lot of other data involved, that the model has learned but nobody actually knows.

#

One day it'll probably get to a point where it can all be documented and behave in a more predictable manner

cinder slate
#

I doubt someone has manually combed through it all and labelled all of the song data with the appropriate tags.
i'd be interested to know what kind of training you have in mind, then, cuz often training REQUIRES labeled data

#

are there any known (self-identified) Suno engineers on this server? (are there other servers for this type of stuff?)

cinder slate
#

like i'm really impressed with Suno, and some of my generations I really love, that's why I'm here... now I'm trying to understand if their business model is like slot-machine-style or what

unique stone
# cinder slate > I doubt someone has manually combed through it all and labelled all of the son...

It surely does have to be labelled somehow, but with so many songs, like I said, there's probably some other data involved.
A good example is how to get Suno to speak instead of sing: You can tell it you want "spoken word" and "narration", but it will still try to sing unless your lyrics look like a script/book rather than lyrics. When I noticed this I had a 🤔 moment. Like maybe there's a load of text data that gets fed into the training dataset alongside the audio.

#

I don't think their intention is to make it difficult and slot-machine-like to control. It's just unfortunate that for whatever reason at the moment, it is quite difficult to control accurately. With the state of AI at the moment it feels like the computers are ahead of the humans. We can throw data in and then have to work out how to get what we want back out of it 😄

#

It will be disappointing if you are expecting Suno to give everything you ask for at the moment. But, if you input stuff, see what it makes, pick what you like, then feed some more input etc. and just cycle back and forth like that, it works well.

Suno is the first songwriting AI app I've used and I'm pretty impressed. I've been trying to figure out how to get it to use the type of voice I want--specifically, I would sometimes like to use a female voice and occasionally even a child's voice. The app seems to be male-centric and it's almost impossible (for me, anyway) to get anything else. I got a female voice for a whole song ONCE. I got a female voice for the first verse TWICE and, one of those times, it also used the female voice for one line in a later verse. I tried telling it three times, spaced throughout the description to use a female voice, but that doesn't work. I tried setting off the request with commas or hyphens; no joy. And (separate issue) sometimes, when I ask for "pop" genre, I get country instead. Still--it's pretty amazing, what it can do.

#

I just tried a new one today. I used my own lyrics and asked it to use an atmospheric female voice. This time it worked. It always makes two songs every time I ask for one and this time it used the female voice for both of them! 🙂 I wonder if it made the difference that I put that instruction on a line of its own?

according to chatGPT (sorry lol):

Suno is a music generation platform that uses advanced machine learning models to create realistic and emotionally resonant audio content, including songs, voiceovers, and sound effects. At its core, Suno employs a combination of transformer-based models and other AI techniques to analyze and generate music, lyrics, and vocals based on user inputs.

so i think i need to study BARK and see if i can figure it out

Well hell. It's be nice if it WAS official. It's a real struggle trying to get the system to "behave" when it's not even consistent following it's own tag system 😐

naive quail
#

haha. I forgot about adding the solo 😄

safe hazel
#

something that ive seen in my songs is that when I have some bracketed prompts in like the middle of the song, suno will still use those in the beginning of the song. Like, it reads the prompts of the whole thing before starting to form the melody it uses and so later prompts are still incorporated throughout the entire song.

#

Is that a thing people agree upon?

naive quail
whole comet
#

So - best to extend and add the tags only to the relevant extension prompts, to limit specific effects?

naive quail
safe hazel
#

now we just need to figure out how to tell it to keep certain prompts localized to where we want them

naive quail
#

if only 😄

safe hazel
#

but, i do like how it incorporates all the music prompts into a cohesive melody

#

at least sometimes 🤭

This isn't a complaint - it is what it is - but it's sounding/feeling more like Suno is - so far best used as a raw source material generator in a production pipeline, than as something you can ( easily, practically ) use for song production. Pump out a double handful of tracks, use other tools to tear them down into components, then mix and compose those parts. But all that is happening downstream outside of Suno. Don't get me wrong - the double handful of raw material is a huge leap forward in the process - so it's still of value 🙂

I look forward to see if/when/how-much-of that pipeline Suno willl eventually be able to take over 🙂

safe hazel

I expect someday you'll be able to specify exactly where you want certain instruments to happen and even what notes you want it to play. Someday far into the future

Again… isn’t it kind of odd that you have a machine that can generate a multi-genre experimental structurally complex composition, but can’t do “please play the sound of a woodblock once every quarter note”. I.e. it feels like you should be able to solve for the “simpler” kind of sounds than complex ones. Just my thoughts.

If it was programmatic or algorithmic - yes.

I have a theory on this. The complex compositions might be easier because the dataset is comprised of finished compositions. You notice how many genres these days are quite formulaic in their bridge, pre-chorus, etc. Suno will even "place" the lyrics correctly based on the tempo, etc. However, a single sound is a data with no "reference point" and so finding source or reference data for that is harder.

I actually have had much better structure behavior over the last day or two, by being "serious" about composition, and ending up giving Suno more context cues. E.g. - have consistent metrical patterns in parts of songs ( verses, chorus, bridges ), explicitly laying out chord progressions, key changes over different choruses, etc.

Given structural cues like those, Suno has done a lot less structural scrambling on me.

tranquil dune
#

how do i make sure piano comes in first

safe hazel
#

you can't ever make sure of anything, all you can do is try. Something like [Piano Instrumental] or [Piano Interlude] as the first prompt in the lyrics can help. Putting "piano" in the style box can help. But, nothing will make sure it happens

tranquil dune
#

Oh okay thank you so much

safe hazel
# tranquil dune https://suno.com/song/1f6afd87-7d82-4daf-9e16-320cf99c978d

Seems to have worked pretty well. It came out great. I'm not sure if putting "Female" in the lyrics box is the best way to try to ensure female vocals or if putting it in the style box is. I always put "female/male vocals" in the style box so i haven't had much practice using it in the lyrics box, and from what i've seen here people seem to get the best results from putting it in the style box. Just an fyi (but others would know more than I)

cinder slate
#

Like IMO I’m confused why the use of meta tags is not in any official documentation. Unless it’s also part of the generative stuff and there is no “list” of tags.

safe hazel
# cinder slate So I guess my question is - is that because Suno can’t do it or because it’s not...

Well, there's definitely a dearth of documentation. I'm sure there are prompts and character usage that can get more reliable results than what we're doing. But, I guess unless 100% of the material it learns from uses these things in the same way, the AI will always have different routes it can go, since it's learned that (parethesis) can mean back up vocals, but other sources may have them doing other things

#

There is no official documentation

cinder slate

cinder slate
#

For context, I’m an engineer, so suno is an app, and it doesn’t have documentation - that’s… um interesting lol. But anyway that’s kinda where a lot of my questions are coming from, I can relate to what you’re saying as a user

safe hazel
#

it's kinda weird there is, well, no documentation at all. But, it's also still pretty new. But it would be nice if they could just give us a teeny little bite of information to work with. But, everything has been user generated. As far as I've seen, devs dont really talk to us

cinder slate
#

If I wanted to be provocative (just for fun) - either (I) there is internal documentation, in the sense that the engineers know roughly how suno behaves and what it responds to vs ignores, (ii) there is documentation but also extremely high randomness and “temperature” in the model, or (iii) there is no documentation, and they know about as much about its behavior as we do (I mean prob loads more but in the sense of just “observing” it) - apologies to any devs reading this, I have no disrespect for the technical implementation

#

Sorry I’m not trying to rant in this channel or anything, I have a serious desire to know the technical details that’s all I’ll be chill 😂

safe hazel
#

i doubt devs read this

#

think of it as a prototpe though. It's unfinished and so why make documentation that you'll eventually have to change. We're getting in on like a beta edition of something (or alpha maybe) so it's all wild west until the model is more mature

#

but im sure there are lots of reasons why they haven't said more about how it works

cinder slate
safe hazel
#

they have to know something about how it works, since they know how it learns (which, we dont).

cinder slate
#

Indeed but what about how it will behave? Do they have systematic knowledge or is it based on observation? Or both prob

# cinder slate Like IMO I’m confused why the use of meta tags is not in any official documentat...

I don't know if there is an official list or not, but my guess is there isn't a super useful list, at least in Suno up to this point.

For example, you might assume tags on this official page https://suno.com/explore would be 'official' in some sense. But it's not difficult to find tags on that page that don't work at all. And on the other hand, it's not difficult to find tags that work really well, that are so weird and random they couldn't possibly have been created on purpose. Browse some @alpine venture songs https://suno.com/@Yolkhead for example.

#

The general feeling I get, pure vibes, is that Suno was initially not thinking of very complicated style prompts. Especially about complicated [bracket stuff] in the lyrics. But the users tried stuff, the model did surprising things, and it's only somewhat recently this tye of capability is possibly being leaned into more deliberately. But who knows.

untold briar
# quasi summit It has been for me. 100%. But I'm all over it now. Super cool potential.

This was one of the first things I tried in Upload. I need to get back to it. There is a lot of with the clip lengths and how you structure the spliced songs. I had the best luck using some separate pieces of each clip in the beginning of the Upload, and then literally overlaying the songs on the last part of the Upload. But finding the right lengths for the chunks and the overlayed section is tricky.

think if they kept the price the same 8 / 12 per month for a fully functional music production studio.

they'd put the rest of thje idustry out of business. I think AI is an excellent brainstorming tool. Maybe real musicians want to use it to explore ideas, then hire the musicians they'd need to execute their idea.

and then there's the hobbyists. who don't have the skill to make the music they have in their heads.

I make a living off of art, like physical mediums, but I use AI to brainstorm ideas or get a shape started for abstract work.

acoustic hornet
#

Has anyone had any luck making something that legitimately sounds like 80s pop/rock - something in the vein of Cyndi Lauper or The Bangles?? If so, what kind of prompts did you slap in the style section?

shut moat
#

it's funny, that one of my clients actually introduced me to Midjourney, she has aphantasia and we were able to work together on a comission she wanted since she couldn't "see" what I was describing to her.

#

I put feelings and emotions into my style section maybe it helps, maybe it's placebo.

#

I also try to direct the song in the [brackets] with the lyrics.

#

actually helps with the song's structure. I'm not sure what the general flow of an 80's pop/rock song is since my cone of interest is metal/punk/skacore/hardcore

acoustic hornet
#

I modeled my lyrical structure around a Cyndi Lauper song, specifically the song "Good Enough" from The Goonies film. The prompting of "80s pop, 80s punk" would seem proper, though I am getting stuff that continually sounds like modern day boy-band.

safe hazel
#

well what's the difference between 80s pop and today's pop?

acoustic hornet
#

I see what you're getting at with that query, and I've attempted including specific instruments and "moods" in the prompt, such as "synthesizer, upbeat, high energy" - still get boy-band-ish sounding music.

#

I even had one that decided to pick up only "80s" and "rock" from the prompt, and I got something that sounded like Motley Crue.

safe hazel
#

there was someone in here before looking for prompts for 80s rock and they said ultimately these style prompts worked: 80s Glam metal, 80s Hard rock, classic 80s rock (i dont know though, i havent tried them)

acoustic hornet
#

I have used the "80s glam rock" in a couple as an attempt, and while closer, for sure, I still get these really "phat beats" that are common to todays pop.

#

Not that this is the place for suggestions, I do kinda wish there was a "negative prompt" option within the interface.

safe hazel
#

maybe try 80s synthpop

acoustic hornet
#

Ah, Paimon. I've spoken to them before. Good call. I'll definitely tickle that option.

shut moat
#

Have you tried locations as a style modifier?

#

I made a sort of chanting, war march song, but to get the choral section i put in "black cathredral hell march"

acoustic hornet
#

@safe hazel the inclusion of "synthpop" really made a difference. I feel a little bit like I must have forgotten my helmet on the short bus now for not thinking of that. Thanks a ton.

shut moat

and I rammed "grim dark" down Suno's throat.

#

I think sometimes you need to say the same thing a bunch of times.

#

similar to some AI text to image gens, you need to reinforce the idea with the same words againa nd again.

#

to really just hammer in the idea.

acoustic hornet
#

@shut moat I agree with that; the multiple inclusion of the same thing, just to get the AI to understand. When making a "viking metal" ballad a few months back, my final prompt included "viking" "metal" "ballad" and even "medieval" each at least twice before I got a sound I wanted.

shut moat
#

I also have the lyrics written in like Latin, or Norwegian, or I convert it to an simplified language than back into english.

#

the lyrics generator in english is pretty terrible.

#

it wants to rhyme everything. but does NOT do complex rhyming schemes.

acoustic hornet
#

I purposely write all my own lyrics, often nitpicking syllable counts and flow long before I ever even load up Suno.

shut moat
#

like that chanting song, I used a translator to Khazdul, the Dwarven language in Tolkien's universe

#

I write way too much so I translate in google to a simple language then back into the suno lyric engine but convert it to a germainic langue then back into enlgish.

#

lol

acoustic hornet
#

I recently did a tune that included musical terminology like "duolo, cantando, dolore" and more, and to get the AI to sing them proper, I had to write them out phoenetically.

shut moat
#

english sucks. to be honest.

#

suno knows A LOT of languages.

#

it can't translate into dwarven but it can pronounce it, I'm trying Klingon next.

acoustic hornet
#

It does, but when most of the lyrics are english, it tends to stick to english pronunciation, at least in my creations.

shut moat
#

I write a lot of stuff in indonesian, it pronounces that almost perfectly

acoustic hornet
#

Even the simplest of terms get goofed on occasion, like writing out the word "cause" as the shortened version of "because" that WOULD sound like "cuz" - Suno will still often pronounce it "kawz" - so I usually just write cuz, then edit the displayed lyrics later.

shut moat
#

gauze too might be close enough

acoustic hornet
#

Not talking about rhyming it, that's easy enough, just having the word in there is often mispronounced.

shut moat
#

i think suno is flawed, like it you stuff too many syllables into the bar it will compress the words.

acoustic hornet
#

Just this evening, I'm working on one that has the word "wicked" in the lyrics, and one of my creation attempts actually pronounced that word as "wikt" - like I was talking about making a candle. LoL

shut moat
#

I don't know enough abvout music to know what the maximum limit is before it starts messing with the pronunciation of the words.

#

could be just a glitch.

In general, I think the best place to start when learning a new prompting system is with prompts that are well established, even if they're insane, and then adjust various pieces of it to fit your desired style. Jonathan has lots of good ones, as do many other big Sunoers and some less well known.
https://suno.com/playlist/faeb1142-531c-47b2-b26e-1f0a99b846de

This has some of my personal favorites.

So I'd start by taking the styles here, and tweaking them. This is how I learned sdxl prompting anywho, and it worked out p well for me.

alpine venture
#

But yea, the prompting for 3.5 has really taken off lately as people got off their high horses about cargo culting or whatever it's called

shut moat
#

what the hell is cargo culting?

alpine venture
#

Originally refers to just post-modrrn sort of spiritualism, but basically its a sort of denigration of promoters almost "mystical" prompt techniques, typically under the assumption that it is mystical, and not directed

#

In my case, I'm literally just applying a well known technique used in sdxl, which despite the success of fooocus still gets called cargo culting lol

#

Basically, in sdxl you want to launch a bunch of neutral-positive tokens at it with you output to smooth out overfitting

#

With Suno, this doesn't work because the positive-negative style tags aren't 100% accurate

#

Which makes sense, as "beautiful" in music is harder to establish, given some genres are intentionally hideous

#

I mean, I guess it's the same for visual, but I use the same technique, which is mixing in negative+positive tags to avoid certain biases, so things like "awful f---img music, broken composition, Mozart"

#

Will yield, in my experience, better sound than just "Mozart"

#

Bc it generalizes better

#

Although, Mozart is not the best example, as he's likely highly overfit, you'll need a lot more than that

# shut moat what the hell is cargo culting?

The term comes from the post WW2 South Pacific "cargo cults" - where native islanders noticed that when the US troops came to their islands, and built airfields, then cargo planes full of all sorts of wonderous goods landed on their island.

So - they build airfields, out of thatch and bamboo, in order to "attract" the cargo planes and their goods back.

Despite being a real phenomenon, it's become a metaphor for trying to manipulate a system based on observed correlation, when you don't really understand the causality of the inputs and outputs of the system.

You know - like trying to determine how to make a completely undocumented AI song generator do what you want 😄

# safe hazel well what's the difference between 80s pop and today's pop?

There is that point that today's pop obviously evolved from 80s pop. But at minimum it 80s was whatever sound could be made from the emerging synths, from Yamaha , Korg, Moog. Lots of organic sampling and experimentation. 16th beat stacatto sound certain was prevalent. Sinwave and digital sounds emerged as well from the mid-70s and progressed as PCs became common after 1983. But it's trending now for today's pop to retro those sounds, sooo... yea.. sometimes little difference but the production and melodies perhaps

#

Hypogagic is supposed to be , as I understand, the term for emulating some of that digital beeps and boops from the 80s.

No solution - just a workaround... Extend off a clean iteration. Pull the clean result into a multi-layer sound editor. Extend again off that same clean iteration. Again, pull that result into the editor. keep doing this until the song is done THEN tie it all together with a clean instrumental backing track with the same beat. That's what I do when I absolutely want the end to be as clean as the beginning.

Most people miss the first link when they're uploading so they never see that they're supposed to click the message. Then those who do read the surface level and never click more.
