How to use Suno Prompt Builder

Multi-Language Support (New!)

Suno Prompt Builder now supports 21+ languages! Use the language switcher at the top-right corner to translate the entire interface into your preferred language instantly.

• Native Language UI: The interface adapts to your selected language.
• Prompt in English: Even if you use the interface in another language, the generator will still create optimized prompts in English (as preferred by Suno AI) unless you specifically ask for lyrics in another language.

Suno v6 — the new generation workflow

Suno retired the v4/v5.5 models and moved to the v6 generation. The Builder keeps up automatically: the model selector in the Prompt Output header decides how your brief is written. Your selected model is remembered across visits.

Pick your target model

• Suno v6 · Polished — the default. Your fields are composed into a natural-language brief (style core → groove → mood → vocal character → instrumentation → structure → production), which v6 understands better than comma-separated tag stacks.
• v6-wild · Experimental — same brief plus an instruction that welcomes unexpected, musical arrangement turns. Use it for idea generation, then refine the keeper in regular v6.
• v6-mini · Fast & light — a compact three-clause brief for the free/fast model: style, groove and mood only. Add more detail manually if the result feels thin.
• Classic tags (v5.5 style) — the exact comma-separated tag stack the Builder always produced, kept for anyone still comparing models.

Procedure for a v6 brief

1. Style core first — pick Genre & Sub-Genre (and Origin, makam or World music if relevant). In v6 mode a genre blend is written as a descriptive sentence rather than the [A:B:R] tag, because v6 reads plain language better.
2. Lock the groove — set Tempo & Key (BPM, key, preset). v6 holds a locked groove reliably, so decide it early.
3. Set mood and harmony — describe the feeling, not just a word: “Melancholic mood” plus “Minor harmony” beats a lone tag.
4. Define the vocal character — type, range, style and timbre become a “Vocal character: …” clause.
5. Assign instrumentation — lead, accompaniment, rhythm and bass become an “Instrumentation: …” clause; give each instrument a clear role.
6. Shape structure and movement — Structure & Flow and the Lyrics Editor describe how verses expand into choruses (“sparse intimate verse, emotionally expanding chorus”).
7. Finish with production — mixing style and production choice become the final “Production: …” clause.
8. Add focused exclusions by hand — v6 responds to short, specific exclusions. Type one at the end of the Style Prompt output, e.g. no excessive vocal runs. Keep it to a single, focused exclusion.

Using v6-specific features

• Section editing: keep your structure tags clean — v6 can re-edit a single section (e.g. turn the chorus into a gospel choir) without touching the rest.
• Mashups & sampling: when combining sources, assign each one an explicit musical job (“vocals from A, drums from B”) instead of “blend everything”.
• Lyric tweaks: v6 can swap single words or lines, so keep the 200-character summary from the Lyrics Builder handy as the anchor.

1. Configure music foundations

Open the Settings column and walk from top to bottom. Pick a genre/sub-genre, origin, makams, and any world influences you want. Each selection becomes a comma-separated phrase in the final prompt, so keep them relevant to the sound you want.

• World Music: choose a region and tradition to instantly color the prompt with authentic instruments and rhythms.
• Tempo & Key: set BPM, key and tempo preset. Moving the slider updates the prompt in real-time when Live Preview is enabled.
• Mood, Harmony, Rhythm: these small descriptive tags help Suno lock onto the vibe quickly.

2. Lead instruments, vocals & structure

Scroll further down the Settings column to define the lead instrument, bass, percussion, accompaniment and vocal expectations.

• Pick at least one Lead Instrument to give Suno a focal timbre.
• Use the Vocals group only if you need a singer; otherwise leave “No Vocals” selected for instrumental tracks.
• Structure & Dynamic Flow describes how the track evolves (verse/chorus, drop & rise, linear build, etc.).

3. Build the lyrics prompt

Open the Lyrics Builder accordion. This section controls how Suno writes lyrics:

1. Select a theme, emotion, story arc, and perspective. These become the “Lyrics guidance -> …” block.
2. Define tense, rhyme scheme, language and structure (verse/chorus order).
3. Add keyword imagery or a custom snippet to anchor the lyric style.
4. Use Copy 200-char summary when Suno’s lyric field needs a short guiding sentence.
5. Use Lyric Draft Preview to see a quick sample stanza based on your selections.

4. Generate, copy, save, export

• Press Generate or enable Live Preview to keep the prompt updated as you tweak settings.
• Copy Both copies Styles + Lyrics panels at once. Individual copy buttons sit in the top-right of each panel.
• Save stores the combined prompt in the History tab. Hover an entry to copy or favorite it.
• Export lets you download the current prompt as JSON or plain text; Import reverses that process.

5. Presets & section management

Use the Presets tab to save full configurations (music + lyrics + prompts). You can pin frequently used sections or hide ones you rarely touch; if things get messy, click the “Reset Sections” button on the Settings panel to restore all sections.

Tips for better Suno results

• Less is more: keep each prompt focused, avoid conflicting adjectives unless you intentionally want contrast.
• If Suno misunderstands a lyric instruction, add a “Custom Lyric Snippet” showing the exact tone or language you want.
• Use the Optimize button to squeeze long prompts below 1000 characters without losing detail.
• Remember to copy the 200-character lyric summary into Suno’s “Write Lyrics” modal if you want precise control there.
