Curated by Jack Righteous — Updated July 2025

Promotional coaching banner for Suno AI V4.5 featuring advanced music prompt strategies, AI branding tools, and anthem creation guidance for creators, coaches, and digital artists.

Step‑by‑Step Workflow

  1. Start with an “anthemic style” prompt
  2. Choose your approach:
    • Simple instrumental
    • Structured instrumental
    • Anthemic template with lyrics
  3. Generate — you’ll get two full versions immediately
  4. Edit or refine one track
  5. Use Pro tools (Replace, Crop/Fade, Persona, Stems) & export

Recommended Prompt Strategy

  • Begin with Instrumental only to explore tonal alignment
  • Test across:
    1. Simple instrumental
    2. Structured instrumental
    3. Anthemic prompt with lyrics
  • Compare versions for energy, structure, and lyrical fit before scaling

Prompt Types Compared

Prompt Type Purpose Example
Simple Instrumental Fast testing of anthem-style tone anthemic, cinematic, stadium, uplifting, chant
Structured Instrumental Hook-focused build with sections [Intro] synth swell; [Verse] guitar; [Chorus] anthem drums & chant
Custom with Lyrics Complete, message-driven track [Intro] build; [Verse] lyrics; [Chorus] “We rise as one”
Advanced JSON Prompt For managing larger song libraries {"style":"anthemic","structure":["Intro","Verse","Chorus"],"tempo":"120"}

Tag Tips

  • Use anthemic with stadium, epic, chant, uplifting, cinematic
  • Use structure tags when you want intentional builds
  • Use JSON for batch-prompting, clarity, and version control (even if not natively read)

Pro Tools & Best Practices

  • Persona — Adjust vocal tone (gritty, soft, robotic, airy)
  • Replace — Change sections while keeping the rest intact
  • Crop / Fade — Isolate loops, intros, or usable samples
  • Stems Export — (Premier only) Get clean vocals and instrumentals
  • Remaster — Finalize your audio for clarity and professional sound

Common Mistakes & Fixes

  • Using vague tags → Add structure and emotional anchors
  • Forgetting [Verse], [Chorus], etc. → Use section tags
  • Ignoring second track → Always compare both
  • Spending credits randomly → Start simple, build intentionally

Example Creative Workflow

Prompt: [Intro] icy synth; [Chorus] deep choir chant; anthemic, stadium

  • Added lyrics using Remi → refined Verse
  • Applied Persona: “Deep Male Group”
  • Replaced Chorus for tone alignment
  • Cropped 30-sec loop, remastered, exported stems
  • Published via Spotify and embedded in product page

Advanced Prompt Power

Experienced Suno creators use prompt libraries — often JSON formatted — to organize multiple structures, BPMs, and tones for consistency across batches or brand series. This can dramatically reduce guesswork and maximize creative efficiency across multiple sessions.

Final Note

Suno isn’t just a music generator — it’s a sound engine.

The power lies in your prompts, not your plugins.
Structure. Stack. Scale. That’s how you GET RIGHTEOUS with your sound.
