Suno AI Troubleshooting & Community Q&A
AI music generation is a journey of experimentation. Based on feedback from our community of over 800 producers, here are answers to the most common inquiries:
Technical Mastery & Control
· Controlling
Song Structure: Many
users ask how to separate uploaded audio into specific sections like [verse]
or [chorus].
While Suno creates full songs quickly, precise
"segment mapping" of uploaded files is a frequent request for more
granular control.
· Keys and Tempos: To influence the technical feel, you can include specific BPMs (like 140 bpm or 160 bpm) and musical keys (like minor key) directly in your style description.
· Fixing Audio Issues: If you experience "clipping" or high-pitched female vocals, try adding modifiers like "mellow," "lo-fi," or "balanced mix" to your prompt to stabilize the output.
Finding That "Specific" Sound
Since copyright laws prevent using real artist names, use these descriptive workarounds for the most-requested styles:
· 90s Eurodance: Use "High-NRG, Dance Pop, 90s festive synths".
· The Weeknd Style: Try "RnB, Dark, Cinematic, whispery falsetto male vocals".
· Traditional & Global Styles: For unique cultural sounds like Tigrigna or Traditional Japanese, specify the instruments: "Traditional instruments, shakuhachi, koto, and taiko drums".
Common Prompting Hurdles
· List Duplicates: Keep an eye out for repeats in your prompt lists (like Kendrick Lamar or Green Day) to ensure you are exploring the widest variety of sounds.
· Vocal Consistency: If the AI isn't respecting a gender request (e.g., changing male to female), emphasize the vocal type early in the prompt, such as "Powerful lead male vocals" or "Sultry female vocals".
