Fill in as much or as little as you want. This builder turns your choices into one clear prompt you can copy into your AI music workflow.
Add mood, motion, palette, vocals, production, or structure only if they sharpen the idea.
Good prompts do not need formal music vocabulary. Start with what the music should feel like, then add the beat, song shape, sound sources, and production details. Think of it as describing a scene, then tightening the instructions.
Use the blue steps to build the core idea first. Then use the purple steps to sharpen character and finish the sound.
Get the song working in broad strokes.
Now make it more specific, polished, and recognizable.
In studio mode, you can add individual track layers to your song. Each track type accepts a text prompt describing what you want it to do. These work like stems in a real DAW — the more specific your instruction per track, the more precise the output. Use the Custom track for anything that doesn't fit the presets.
Controls kick, snare, hi-hat, cymbals, and overall drum pattern. The backbone that drives everything else.
Sits between drums and harmony. Defines the key, adds body, and locks in with the kick drum. The "glue" of a mix.
Covers everything from strummed chords to lead riffs. Can be clean, distorted, fingerpicked, or atmospheric.
Piano, electric piano, organ — the harmonic glue. Sets mood, fills the mid-range, supports vocals.
Everything that hits but isn't the main drum kit — congas, shakers, tambourine, claps, hand drums. Adds feel and groove.
Violin, viola, cello, double bass as an ensemble. Adds drama, emotion, and depth. From subtle pads to full orchestral swells.
Synthesized sounds — arpeggios, pads, leads, bass synths. Covers everything from analog warmth to digital sharpness.
Non-musical sounds used for texture — risers, sweeps, impacts, transitions, nature sounds, noise. Cinematic glue.
Trumpets, trombones, French horns. Adds authority, funk, jazz, or orchestral grandeur. Very dynamic — can be subtle or enormous.
Flute, saxophone, clarinet, oboe. Adds warmth, airiness, or emotional character. Saxophone for jazz/soul, flute for folk/classical.
The main vocal performance. Controls style, register, emotion, and technique of the primary singer.
Harmonies, ad-libs, choir layers, "ooh/aah" pads. Thickens the vocal sound and adds emotional dimensionality.
Gives a global instruction that applies to the whole track — not a single instrument. Use this to set the overall vibe, genre, or arrangement style when you don't want to specify individual tracks.
The wildcard. Describe any sound, technique, instrument, or texture not covered by the presets. Suno will attempt to interpret it. The most creative track type.
