Suno: Using metatags and parentheses for song structure

Demo summary
The creator shows how to use bracketed metatags like [intro] and [low whisper] alongside parentheses for backing vocals to direct Suno's AI on specific instrumental and vocal arrangements.
Step-by-step
- Open the lyrics box in Suno.
- Use brackets to add metatags for song structure, such as [intro] or [verse one].
- Add instrumental or vocal descriptions inside brackets, like [instrumental only guitar] or [low whisper raspy vocal delivery].
- Place specific words in parentheses to create harmonies, backing vocals, or ad-libs.
- Adjust the 'weirdness' slider down to zero to ensure the tags are followed closely.
- Click Create to generate the song.
Options
- Use [instrumental break] to transition between song sections.
- Use [guitar solo] or [guitar riff] to direct instrumental sections.
Watch out for
- The AI interprets tags based on the context of the selected genre (e.g., grunge may produce a riff instead of a solo).
Tips
- Use descriptive vocal delivery tags like 'raspy' or 'low whisper' to change the singer's tone.
- Turn the 'weirdness' slider all the way down to zero to make sure the AI adheres strictly to your metatags.
- Keep the genre in mind when creating tags, as the AI will prioritize genre conventions over literal tag instructions.
