When creating instrumental music using AI, you can use descriptive tags to guide the style, mood, instrumentation, and genre. EQ MIXING. Here are some examples of tags that might be useful:
SUNO
Structure and Syntax:
Use square brackets [] for instrumental/technical instructions (e.g., [VERSE 1], [CHORUS], [BRIDGE])
Parentheses () are typically used for vocal effects and backup vocals
Number verses explicitly (e.g., [VERSE 1], [VERSE 2]) to prevent repetition
Include section markers like [INTRO], [OUTRO], [BRIDGE] to guide song structure
Voice Control:
Use descriptive tags like [Screaming Male Vocals], [Powerful Male Vocals], [Soaring Male Vocals]
Spell words phonetically to influence pronunciation and accent
Add voice characteristic descriptions (e.g., smooth, rich tone, resonant delivery)
For duets, try marking different voices with () vs plain text
Language tags can help with pronunciation (e.g., [LANGUAGE: French])
Style and Genre:
Be specific with genre terms rather than general descriptions
Use multiple related genre terms to reinforce the desired style
Place style descriptors later in the prompt after other instructions
Reference regional styles to influence vocal characteristics
Include instrument focus (e.g., piano lead, guitar focus)
Negative Prompts:
Use "exclude style" to prevent unwanted elements
Explicitly exclude unwanted genres (e.g., negative out trance, pop, synth)
Can help prevent unwanted style blending
Instrumental Control:
Use [Instrumental] tag for instrumental sections
Specify instruments in brackets (e.g., [guitar solo])
Include detailed arrangement descriptions
Can control instrument focus through style tags
