Suno AI Music Creation: Advanced Techniques and Resources

Introduction

Suno is a recently popular music AI platform, hailed as the “ChatGPT” of the music AI field. It has recently topped the trending topics on Zhihu, attracting over 25 million users.

Suno AI combines artificial intelligence technology with music creation, providing users with a brand new platform for music creation. This application of technology not only lowers the barriers to music production but also offers new creative tools for music enthusiasts and professionals, promoting the democratization of music creation (Woshipm). Suno AI can generate music in various styles, including pop, classical, electronic, etc., while also generating natural and smooth speech, which can be used in voice synthesis, dubbing, and other scenarios (AIbase).

In this issue, we will delve into the methods and techniques for using Suno AI.

Below is a song I created using Suno, along with a simple music MV made from this song. Let’s take a moment to enjoy it.

This song was created in just 10 minutes

The current version of Suno has been upgraded to V3, which performs impressively and has significant advantages over similar AI:

1. Diverse Music Style Generation: Suno AI can generate a variety of music styles, including pop, classical, electronic, etc., meeting the needs and preferences of different users. This diversity in style allows it to be applied in a wide range of music production scenarios, from personal enthusiasts to professional productions.

2. Natural and Smooth Speech Synthesis: In addition to music creation, Suno AI can also generate natural and smooth speech. This feature can be applied in voice synthesis, dubbing, and other scenarios, providing new possibilities for video production, audiobooks, and other content creation.

3. Lowering the Barriers to Music Creation: By integrating artificial intelligence technology, Suno AI greatly reduces the complexity and professional requirements of music production, enabling users without a music background to easily create music. This democratization of technology not only makes music creation more accessible but also opens the door for many music enthusiasts to create.

Today, we will introduce the specific methods for using this music creation AI, covering account setup, basics, beginner, intermediate, and advanced techniques step by step in a systematic and hands-on tutorial. Warning: long read ahead, please take a seat and let’s get started!!!

Intermediate Sunoer——Wherever AI Goes, I Go

One of the biggest advantages of AI is its low entry barrier and quick onboarding. In Suno, writing a song is actually very simple; you just need to describe the music style and theme you want, or you can use genres or specific artists. The rest is up to Suno. After entering the creation page, we can see the following interface.

In this basic songwriting mode, simply write your requirements for the song in the Song Description and click Create. Suno will generate a song for you in no time, including lyrics, melody, and accompaniment.

Song Description:

Describe the music style and theme you want. You can also include the song style or specific artists.

Instrumental:

Turn on this option to create a song without lyrics.

Create:

In beginner mode, clearly describe the song, click generate, and Suno will write the lyrics, compose the music, and provide accompaniment. It can also generate two songs for you to choose from. It can even generate MP3 format music and MP4 format videos (with dynamic lyrics display) for you to download and use.

Below is a song I generated using the basic mode titled “Chasing Prosperity”. Everyone can take a listen.

Advanced Sunoer——Aim and Shoot

▶Write Your Own Lyrics

Here, “your own” is in quotes. Of course, if you have strong lyric writing skills, then I won’t say anything. Personally, I use a large language model to help write lyrics because it’s more talented than I am.

It’s actually quite simple; you can tell the large language model your requirements for the lyrics. I generally use the following formula to set limits, which usually results in lyrics that closely match my requirements.

Theme + Style + Author Reference + Structure Example

▶Theme

This refers to the central idea or emotion, such as love, family, friendship, life insights, motivation, etc.

▶Style

The song style refers to the characteristics of the song in terms of musical elements and singing methods, such as pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, rap, etc.

Defining the song’s style is crucial. Many people listen to the generated songs and say they don’t capture the feeling they wanted; that’s because they didn’t specify the style and let the AI run free.

However, some students may not be familiar with the types of song styles. No need to worry; we have summarized the characteristics of various song styles and representative songs in both Chinese and English for reference. See the image below.

▶Lyricists

Every lyricist has their own style of lyrics. Writing lyrics in the persona of different lyricists will result in different lyrics. For example, Lin Xi is known for writing love songs, such as the well-known “Ten Years”, “At Least I Still Have You”, and “Red Bean”, which are delicate and poetic. So when we want to create a poetic love song, we can let ChatGPT embody Lin Xi’s role, and the lyrics it writes will certainly be wonderful.

We can write prompts like: You are the lyric master Lin Xi, please write a song for me…

Of course, if you are not familiar with famous lyricists, you can refer to our “20 Famous Chinese Lyricists”, which includes their introductions, styles, and representative works.

▶Structure Components

A song generally consists of an introduction, verses, chorus, transitions, bridges, and endings, each part having different focuses, rhythms, and accompaniment methods. When writing lyrics, it’s essential to pay attention to this. If you are not clear on this, you can refer to our “Composition of Music Lyrics and Accompaniment”, which provides a detailed introduction.

▶Standard Format

When writing lyrics, it’s best to clearly label each component so that AI can make informed judgments and set the appropriate expressions. The general format is [Structure Name], e.g., [Intro], [Verse], etc. Suno refers to these parts as meta-tags. So what meta-tags does Suno support, and what are their functions? You can refer to our knowledge base on “List of Meta-Tags Supported by Suno”

▶Prompts

Using the structure above, I used ChatGPT 4.0 to write the song “White Walls and Blue Tiles” at the beginning of this article. Below are the prompts for your reference:

You are the lyric master He Muyang. I need you to write lyrics for my song titled “White Walls and Blue Tiles”, which tells a romantic love story set in the misty rain of Jiangnan, depicting how a boy deeply loves a girl and they end up together. In a Chinese pop music style, the song should last 3 minutes and rhyme. Please help me create the lyrics according to the following structure:

In fact, there are many other things to pay attention to when using Suno.

1. Music Copyright

When using music generated by Suno, be aware that the copyright for music files generated by free users cannot be used for commercial purposes.

2. Discord Platform Application

Suno can be used on the Discord platform, which has more professional commands and parameters to optimize generation results.

3. Long Song Production

Suno can generate music lasting 1-2 minutes at a time. To create longer music, you need to generate multiple times and merge them.

In addition to the above, there are many efficiency-enhancing techniques. Due to time and space constraints, we will share just this much for now. For more content, you can also refer to our Suno Songwriting Systematic Tutorial.
