Creating AI Songs with Suno: A Step-by-Step Guide

Suno AI is an AI audio generation tool that released its latest V3 model this month, capable of creating music based on any prompt or lyrics. You can rewrite classic songs, and even turn a Banlangen instruction manual into a song.

Our tutorial can’t be that vague. As we all know, Tang poetry and Song lyrics can be set to music. Today, let’s use Suno AI to restore the heavenly sounds of ancient poets. Let’s embark on our journey as musicians.

Creating AI Songs with Suno: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Generate Lyrics and Album Cover

As the saying goes, a song’s lyrics are its positioning. Taking Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” as an example, we will adapt this poem. Why adapt it? Because it consists of only four lines, singing them repeatedly would be too monotonous.

1) Use the Smart Agent of Zhipu Qingyan to Generate Lyrics

1. We go to Zhipu Qingyan (https://chatglm.cn/), click on Smart Agent, and search for 【Lyrics】 in the search box to find the 【SUNO Lyrics Creator】.

2) Start Creating Songs

1) A Quick Trial: Creating Instrumental Music

1) Click on 【Create】 at the top right to enter the creation page, which defaults to generating instrumental music. This can be used for BGM. It supports Chinese, so let’s create a piece of group music: Chinese classical music, grand in style, telling the love story of a scholar. Make sure to check 【Instrumental】 for instrumental performance.

Let’s listen to a sample:

If you don’t check 【Instrumental】, Suno will automatically compose music and write lyrics based on your input theme. If you input in Chinese, the output will also be a Chinese song, which is very practical.

Lyrics: Custom lyrics

Make Random Lyrics: Generate random lyrics

Style of Music: Custom song style

Use Random Style: Generate random style (I like this because I don’t understand), here you can define male and female voices

Title: Custom title

2) Generate Music

We fill in the lyrics generated by Zhipu Qingyan into the Lyrics section, and the song style is set to: pop music, sweet female voice, imitating the style of “Flowing Light and Dance”. Now we rely on AI to understand; the title is filled as “Quiet Night Thoughts”, click generate and wait for completion. I feel that the style I wrote, imitating “Flowing Light and Dance”, has a certain impact on the result. Everyone can try other styles.

Let’s listen to a sample:

3) Menu Explanation

Remix: I understand that this allows adding another style to regenerate. If I’m wrong, please point it out so I can correct it.

Continue From This Song: By default, a song only generates 2 minutes at the beginning. Selecting this option allows you to continue generating for another 2 minutes.

Other options are too simple; everyone can read the translation.

3. Music Appreciation

I added a cover to this piece of music using a silhouette and made a lyric subtitle to make the MV look more interesting.

4. The Big Move: Clone Music Styles

Lastly, let’s showcase a big move, cloning any music style using the website 【SONOTELLER】, URL: https://sonoteller.ai/. Theoretically, by pasting and submitting the music link, you can wait for a while to obtain information about the music style, atmosphere, and instruments. However, it has been tested that Bilibili also works; below is the result of my test on Jay Chou’s “Common Jasmine Orange”.
