🎵 What Makes a Great Suno AI Music Prompt?

  • Genre: Defines the style (e.g., jazz, rock, EDM, lo-fi hip-hop)
  • Mood & Emotion: Sets the tone (e.g., melancholic, energetic, ethereal)
  • Instrumentation: Specifies key instruments (e.g., electric guitar, synthesizers, brass section)
  • Rhythm & Tempo: Guides the pacing (e.g., "120 BPM upbeat" vs. "slow ambient")
  • Vocal Type: Indicates male/female vocals, choirs, or spoken-word elements (or “none” for instrumentals)

🎼 Essential Elements of a Strong Prompt

🔹 3. Instrumentation & Arrangement
