Best Practices for Creating Your First Song with Free Credits

1. Generating or Adding Lyrics

Start by deciding whether you want to generate new lyrics or add your own. Suno AI offers tools to create custom lyrics that fit your theme, mood, and genre. Here’s how to do it:

  • Generating Lyrics: Use basic prompts that describe the theme or mood, like "romantic ballad" or "upbeat summer song."
  • Adding Your Own Lyrics: Simply input your lyrics directly into the platform and let Suno AI integrate them into your music.

2. Choosing the Style of Music (Starting with Basic Prompts)

Suno AI can generate music in various styles. For beginners, start with basic prompts that are easy to use and adapt:

  • Example Prompts: "Acoustic folk," "EDM with heavy bass," or "Reggae beats with smooth vocals."
  • Customization: You can further refine the style by specifying instruments or mood, such as "Piano-driven pop ballad" or "Energetic rock anthem."

3. Extending a Song

When you want to extend your song, it's important to manage the lyrics carefully to avoid common pitfalls. One frequent mistake is keeping the same full set of lyrics when extending the song. Suno AI, unfortunately, cannot pick up exactly where it left off; instead, it might try to repeat the first verse, which can cause issues with the flow and structure of your track.

The Trick:
To extend your song effectively, remove the sections you want to keep before extending it. For example, if you're happy with Verse 1 and the Chorus and want to extend from Verse 2, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: After clicking on the extend option, delete the portions of the lyrics you want to keep.
  • Step 2: Make sure the extension starts only at the point where you want it to continue, such as from Verse 2.
  • Step 3: Use prompts or generate new lyrics that pick up smoothly from this point, ensuring the song extends naturally without repeating unwanted sections.

4. Common Basic Style of Music Prompts

To help you get started, here are some common prompts that work well for various genres:

  • Pop: "Catchy pop tune with a strong chorus."
  • Hip Hop: "Groovy hip hop with deep bass."
  • Classical: "Orchestral piece with a cinematic feel."
  • Rock: "High-energy rock with electric guitar riffs."

5. Tips on Getting Prompt Ideas

Finding inspiration for prompts can be as simple as listening to your favorite songs:

  • Analyze Similar Tracks: Listen to songs in the style you want to create and identify the key elements.
  • Reverse Engineer: Use basic prompts similar to the songs you like and see what you can tweak or add to make it unique.
  • Explore Suno AI's Community: Join Suno AI forums or communities to see what prompts others are using and get ideas.
