AI Music Generation Guide

How It Works

Describe the genre, mood, and what the song is about (or paste your own lyrics), and get a structured song blueprint: a style-tag prompt for the generator, a verse/chorus/bridge structure, and lyric ideas mapped to that structure: ready to paste into your AI music tool.

What to Provide

Song Blueprint

Replace [[tokens]] with your details. This is the finished deliverable.

Style Prompt (for Suno/Udio-style tools)

[[genre]], [[mood/energy]], [[instrumentation, e.g. "acoustic guitar, soft piano, light percussion"]], [[vocal style, e.g. "female alto, warm and breathy"]], [[tempo, e.g. "mid-tempo, 90 BPM"]]

Song Structure

[Verse 1]
[[2-4 lines establishing the story/topic]]

[Chorus]
[[The hook: the line people will remember, repeated]]

[Verse 2]
[[Develops the story further]]

[Chorus] (repeat)

[Bridge]
[[A shift in perspective or energy before the final chorus]]

[Final Chorus] (repeat, often with a key change or added energy)

Keeping the Voice Consistent Across Multiple Songs

Describe the vocal character in the same words every time (e.g. "warm alto female voice, slight rasp, minimal vibrato"): inconsistent wording between generations is the most common reason the "same singer" sounds different from track to track.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Upbeat Pop Single

Style prompt: "pop, upbeat and anthemic, synth bass, four-on-the-floor drums, female pop vocal, bright and confident, 120 BPM"

Topic: Starting over after a breakup, choosing to feel good about it.

Example 2: Lo-fi Study Track (Instrumental)

Style prompt: "lo-fi hip hop, chill and nostalgic, vinyl crackle, mellow piano, soft jazzy drums, no vocals, 75 BPM"

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Vague style prompts ("make it good") that produce inconsistent genre/energy
• Changing the vocal description wording between generations, breaking character consistency
• Overstuffing the style prompt with contradictory genres/moods
• No clear structure: verses and chorus blending together with no hook
• Ignoring tempo/BPM, leading to a mismatched energy for the intended use (workout vs. study)

Lock the style prompt wording once you like a result, and reuse it verbatim across a project for consistency.
