Frequently asked questions
Why does Suno give me rock with electronic drums?
Because you did not rule it out. Ask for "live drums" in the style and type "drum machine" in the exclude styles field in the advanced options: it is more reliable than writing "no drum machine" inside the prompt.
What is a Suno prompt?
It is the style description Suno uses to generate the song: comma-separated English tags with genre, mood, tempo, voice, instruments and sound. Suno weighs the first ones the most, which is why the generator puts genre and mood first.
How many characters does Suno’s style field accept?
In recent versions the style field accepts around 1,000 characters and in older ones about 200. The limit depends on the model you use and can change, so follow the counter on your screen. The generator has a compact 200-character mode.
Can I choose the key and chords in Suno?
You can specify them, and Suno takes them as guidance, not as a rule. The generator adds the key ("in A minor"), the vocal register and the progression with the real chords of that key, both in the style and at the top of the lyrics.
Suno puts my voice too high, what do I do?
Set the key you sing comfortably in, pick the low register and exclude "high-pitched vocals". If you upload your own recording, record it in that key. If it still raises the pitch, generate another take instead of forcing it in the mix.
