Style prompt
Genre
Primary style or fusion — how you'd tag the track in a store or playlist.
Instruments & texture
Prefer specific phrases ("delicate piano arpeggios") over lone nouns ("piano").
Production & mix
Space, dynamics, reverb; add soft constraints if needed ("never overwhelming").
Rules distilled from strong prompts
- Language: English for this workflow; keeps vocabulary where models are strongest.
- Comma stacks: you can chain several tags in one field (e.g. two genres, many instruments)—commas separate ideas.
- Genre: name the musical lane (e.g. intimate cinematic pop, chamber pop)—not a verdict on quality.
- Instruments: prefer compound phrases ("delicate piano arpeggios", "warm string quartet") over lone nouns ("piano", "strings") when you want a clearer picture.
- Mood: short atmosphere adjectives (introspective, tender, bittersweet). This is about feel, not praise—avoid "greatest", "perfect", "epic masterpiece".
- Vocal: combine lineup (duet, solo), delivery (conversational, whispered), and harmony behaviour (intertwining harmonies, call-and-response) when relevant.
- Production: mic distance, reverb character, dynamics, density. Optional soft constraints ("never overwhelming", "no brick-wall loudness") steer the mix without abstract flattery.
- Lyrics & tags: structure lives in the lyrics box — Structure tags, song structure, Lyrics vs Style.

FAQ
Why five separate fields?
It mirrors a full Style recipe: genre, instruments, mood, vocal roles, then production. You can merge ideas manually if you prefer—this layout matches how detailed prompts are often drafted.
Why doesn't Suno sound exactly like my words?
The model interprets language statistically. Concrete nouns and adjectives for sounds work better than abstract praise. Run a few generations and refine.
Can I use non-English in the fields?
You can experiment, but this builder is framed for English phrasing. If you mix languages, keep genre and production terms where the model has the most training data—often English.
Isn't "mood" subjective?
Use mood for atmosphere (tender, bittersweet)—short, hearable colour words. Skip reviewer language ("timeless", "genius") that doesn't change the sound.
Labels on vs off?
On: each non-empty pillar becomes
Off: everything joins into one comma-separated block, similar to long Suno-generated styles. Suno's Style field accepts either format.
