Suno AI Audio Generator
AI Audio
Suno is an AI music generator: it writes and performs a track from a description, with a separate mode for short sound effects and another for lyrics only. Custom mode is for when you supply your own lyrics; inspiration mode writes the words from genre and mood.
How to generate audio with Suno
Say what the track is for
For music, write genre, tempo and mood. For speech-like lyrics, paste or generate the words first. For an effect, describe one event and the room.
Set length, then generate
Length is chosen before the run. If a take is close, change the wording and run it again.
What Suno is for
AI music from a description
Genre, tempo and mood do more work than instrument lists. Say what the track is for and roughly how long it should run. Inspiration mode writes lyrics; custom mode is for when the words have to be specific.
Lyrics
The lyrics entry writes words without producing audio. Draft the words there, then take them into custom music mode.
Sound effects
The effects mode is for short single sounds rather than music. Describe the source and the space it happens in, and keep each request to one event.
