Suno Try it →Watch full video →ChillPanic · Feb 2026

Demo summary

The user records a short vocal clip and uses Suno's Sample mode to chop and process the audio into a rhythmic hip-hop instrumental.

Step-by-step

Record or upload an audio clip to the library
Drag the audio file into the generation interface
Change the mode to Sample
Select the specific section of the audio you want to sample
Toggle the Instrumental option on to avoid using lyrics
Enter a style prompt such as 'sampled hip-hop beat'
Adjust the Audio Influence slider to determine how much the AI relies on the source clip
Click to generate the beat

Options

Adjust Audio Influence (e.g., set to 40 for high inspiration)
Use different style prompts to refine the output

Tips

If the output doesn't sound great, try lowering the audio influence slightly
Use a better style prompt to improve the musicality of the result
Keep the prompt minimal if you want the AI to take most of its inspiration from the sample itself

Highlights

“which doesn't sound that great, but the fact it use that at all is crazy”
