4. Custom Mode Advanced Techniques

When to Use Custom Mode:

• Need precise control over lyrics vs musical style
• Want to iterate on music while keeping lyrics constant
• Require specific structural elements
• Testing different arrangements of same lyrical content

Custom Mode Workflow:

Panel 1: Lyrics

LYRIC BEST PRACTICES:
- Clear verse/chorus structure
- Use [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge] tags
- Include [Intro], [Outro] if needed
- Specify [Instrumental] sections
- Add [Ad-lib], [Backing vocals] tags

EXAMPLE STRUCTURE:
[Intro - Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Your lyrical content here
With natural rhythm and rhyme

[Pre-Chorus]
Build tension and anticipation

[Chorus]
Main hook and memorable phrase
Repeat for emphasis

[Verse 2]
Second verse development

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Different perspective or breakdown

[Final Chorus]
Possible variation or intensity increase

[Outro]

Panel 2: Style of Music

STYLE SPECIFICATION FORMAT:
"[Genre], [sub-genre], [instrumentation], [tempo],
[vocal characteristics], [mood], [production style]"

ADVANCED STYLE PROMPTS:
- "Jazzy blues, sparse vocals, acoustic guitar, stomp,
  intimate and raw, lo-fi production"

- "Trap beat with heavy 808s, rapid hi-hats, dark atmospheric synths,
  140 BPM, aggressive rap delivery, menacing and hard-hitting"

- "Indie folk with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm female vocals,
  cello undertones, 80 BPM, nostalgic and bittersweet, organic production"

5. Dynamic Contrast & Arrangement

The Contrast Principle: Songs need variation to maintain interest. Use dynamic contrast strategically.

Contrast Techniques:

Volume Dynamics

QUIET � LOUD PROGRESSION:
"Begin with solo acoustic guitar and whispered vocals,
gradually introduce light percussion in verse 2,
explode into full band arrangement with distorted guitars and pounding drums at chorus,
return to stripped acoustic for bridge"

LAYERING STRATEGY:
Verse 1: Minimal (1-3 instruments)
Pre-Chorus: Building (4-5 instruments, rising energy)
Chorus: Full (6+ instruments, maximum energy)
Verse 2: Medium (3-5 instruments, some elements from chorus)
Bridge: Contrast (different instrument combination)
Final Chorus: Maximum (all elements, possible key change or extra layer)

Instrumentation Dynamics

ADDITIVE APPROACH:
"Start with bare piano and vocals,
add subtle strings in verse 2,
introduce light drums and bass at pre-chorus,
full orchestration with brass at chorus,
strip to piano-only for bridge,
return to full arrangement for final chorus with added choir"

SUBTRACTIVE APPROACH:
"Open with full band energy,
remove drums for verse to create space,
rebuild with bass and light percussion in pre-chorus,
explode back to full arrangement at chorus"

Tempo/Feel Dynamics

TEMPO VARIATIONS:
"Mid-tempo verse at 95 BPM with laid-back groove,
increase energy and perceived tempo at chorus with double-time hi-hats,
slow down to half-time for bridge creating massive impact"

RHYTHMIC CONTRAST:
"Straight rhythm in verses for clarity,
syncopated groove in pre-chorus for tension,
driving four-on-the-floor beat in chorus for power"

6. Iterative Refinement Strategy

The Iteration Workflow:

Generation 1: Broad Exploration

PURPOSE: Test the basic concept
PROMPT APPROACH: General genre, mood, basic instrumentation
EVALUATE:
- Does the genre feel right?
- Is the mood appropriate?
- Are the vocals in the right style?
- Is the energy level correct?

EXAMPLE PROMPT:
"Upbeat indie pop with jangly guitars, bright vocals, happy and energetic"

Generation 2: Refinement

PURPOSE: Dial in specifics based on Gen 1 learnings
PROMPT APPROACH: Add detail to what worked, adjust what didn't
EVALUATE:
- Are instruments balanced correctly?
- Is the structure cohesive?
- Does the dynamic range work?
- Are vocals clear and on-pitch?

EXAMPLE REFINED PROMPT:
"Upbeat indie pop with jangly clean electric guitars, bright female vocals with harmonies,
driving drum beat, melodic bass, 120 BPM, happy and energetic with anthemic chorus"

Generation 3: Optimization

PURPOSE: Perfect the details and dynamic arc
PROMPT APPROACH: Full detail including dynamics and structure
EVALUATE:
- Is this ready for final use?
- Are all sections distinctive?
- Does the song have proper build and release?
- Is production quality consistent?

EXAMPLE OPTIMIZED PROMPT:
"Upbeat indie pop with jangly clean electric guitars, bright female vocals with layered harmonies,
driving drum beat with crisp snare, melodic walking bass, 120 BPM, happy and energetic,
minimalist verse building to explosive anthemic chorus with 'woah-oh' backing vocals,
breakdown bridge with guitar-only before final triumphant chorus"

7. Common Problems & Solutions

Problem: Muddy or Unclear Vocals

SOLUTION PROMPTS:
- Add "clear vocals" or "crisp vocals"
- Specify "prominent vocals in the mix"
- Use "sparse instrumentation" to create space
- Add "a cappella intro" to establish vocal clarity

EXAMPLE:
"Lo-fi hip-hop with clear rap vocals prominent in mix,
sparse beat with minimal bass, atmospheric background"

Problem: Generic or Boring Output

SOLUTION PROMPTS:
- Add unique instrument combinations
- Specify unusual genre fusion
- Include dynamic contrast instructions
- Reference specific artist influences (carefully)

EXAMPLE BEFORE:
"Rock song with guitar and drums"

EXAMPLE AFTER:
"Alternative rock with crunchy guitar, tribal drumming,
cello bass line, throat singing harmonies, building from whisper to scream,
influenced by Tool meets Sigur R�s"

Problem: Inconsistent Song Structure

SOLUTION PROMPTS:
- Use Custom Mode with clearly tagged sections
- Specify "strong chorus distinction"
- Add "cohesive song structure"
- Include "memorable hook"

EXAMPLE:

- Indicate energy changes

EXAMPLE:
"Slow ballad at exactly 65 BPM, laid-back and contemplative,
half-time feel in verses, slight energy lift in chorus but maintaining slow tempo"

Problem: Off-Key or Pitchy Vocals

SOLUTION PROMPTS:
- Regenerate (Suno's vocal tuning varies per generation)
- Add "professional vocals" or "trained singer"
- Specify "on-pitch vocals"
- Try different vocal style descriptors

EXAMPLE:
"Professional female vocals, on-pitch and emotive,
trained singer quality, clear melodic delivery"
