Use Suno in Oranzy to turn a text description into a track. For better results, decide whether you need lyrics or an instrumental before writing the prompt. ## Plan your song or video soundtrack Start with the role the music needs to play. A vocal song benefits from a clear verse-and-chorus structure; a background track should leave room for speech and sound effects. Write down these details before generating: - **Format:** vocal song or instrumental background music. - **Genre and mood:** for example, indie pop with an optimistic feel or ambient electronic music with a calm tone. - **Tempo:** use a range such as 90–100 BPM for a relaxed track or 120–130 BPM for energetic music. Treat it as a guide, not a guaranteed setting. - **Instruments:** choose two or three, such as acoustic guitar, soft drums, and piano. - **Placement:** note whether the track is for a 9:16 Reel, a 16:9 YouTube video, or another format. The aspect ratio applies to the video, not the audio file. ## How to generate a song with vocals or instrumental music 1. **Open the audio workspace.** Go to [Oranzy](/audio) and [sign up for 100 bonus tokens](/go/seo-100) if you need an account. Choose Suno in the Audio section. 2. **Describe the sound.** Specify the genre, mood, approximate tempo, and main instruments. For background music, explicitly request an instrumental with no vocals. 3. **Add lyrics if you want a song.** Use your own lyrics and label sections such as `[Verse 1]`, `[Chorus]`, and `[Verse 2]`. Keep the chorus short and repeatable. If you want an instrumental, leave out lyrics and vocal directions. 4. **Generate and review.** Listen to the whole result, especially the opening and transitions. If it misses the brief, revise one or two prompt details and generate again. Save the version that best fits your project, then trim or mix it in your video editor. Check the displayed token cost before each generation; the number of attempts available can vary with the applicable cost. ## Prompt examples for Reels and YouTube Adapt these prompts to your own footage and brand. Avoid naming a specific artist when you can describe the musical qualities instead. **Vocal song:** > Warm indie pop, approximately 105 BPM, acoustic guitar, light drums, and piano. Upbeat and sincere lead vocal. Build from a quiet verse into a memorable chorus. > > [Verse 1]\nMorning light across the floor\nA new idea is at the door > > [Chorus]\nTake the first step, see it through\nMake a little room for something new **Instrumental for a Reel:** > Instrumental only, no vocals. Energetic electronic pop, approximately 125 BPM, punchy drums, bright synths, and a clean bass line. Start quickly for a short product reveal. **Instrumental for YouTube narration:** > Instrumental only, no vocals. Calm ambient music, approximately 90 BPM, soft piano, warm pads, and subtle percussion. Leave space for a spoken voiceover; avoid abrupt changes. After generating, place the track under your footage and trim it to the edit. Lower the music during narration, then check the mix on headphones and speakers. A 9:16 Reel and a 16:9 YouTube video may need different cuts even when they use the same track. ## Common mistakes and how to avoid wasted generations - **Conflicting directions:** Asking for both a quiet ambient bed and a loud festival drop can make the result less useful. Choose the dominant purpose first. - **Unclear vocal instructions:** Say “instrumental only, no vocals” when you need a background track. For a song, supply labeled lyric sections. - **Too many changes at once:** If the tempo is right but the instrumentation is wrong, keep the tempo direction and change the instruments. This makes it easier to judge each revision. - **Ignoring the edit:** Listen for a usable opening and points where the music can be trimmed. Do not assume a generated track will match your video length exactly. - **Skipping usage checks:** Review the applicable terms and rights before publishing or using a track commercially. Use lyrics you wrote or have permission to use. ## Generative AI text to speech and voice cloning vs. music generation Suno is the relevant tool here for generating music and songs. Text to speech converts written words into spoken audio, while voice cloning aims to reproduce a particular voice; neither is the same as generating a sung track. If your video needs narration, create the spoken audio separately and mix it with an instrumental in your editor. Obtain permission before using or cloning someone else's voice. ## FAQ ### How do I generate a song with vocals from text? Open the Audio section in Oranzy, choose Suno, and describe the genre, mood, tempo, and instruments. Add your own lyrics with labels such as [Verse] and [Chorus], then generate and review the result. ### How do I make instrumental background music for a Reel or YouTube video? In your Suno prompt, specify “instrumental only, no vocals” and describe the pace and instruments. Generate the track, then trim and mix it to fit your video in an editor. ### Is generative AI text to speech and voice cloning the same as song generation? No. Text to speech produces spoken audio, and voice cloning aims to reproduce a particular voice. Suno generates music and can produce songs with vocals; use a separate spoken-audio workflow if you need narration. ### Can I use a generated song in a commercial video? Check the applicable Oranzy and model terms before publishing commercially. Also make sure you have rights to any lyrics or other material you provide. --- ### Try this workflow on your own project for free New accounts receive 100 bonus tokens immediately after registration to test image, video, and product tools. - [Sign up and get 100 tokens](https://oranzy.ai/go/seo-100?next=%2Flogin%3FreturnTo%3D%252Faudio&utm_campaign=ai-music-and-song-generator-suno-guide&utm_content=suno-ai-music-song-generator-guide&utm_medium=article&utm_source=seo_blog&utm_term=en) ### All languages - [العربية (ar)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/ar/ai-music-song-generator-suno-guide/) - [Deutsch (de)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/de/suno-musik-und-songs-erstellen/) - [English (en)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/en/suno-ai-music-song-generator-guide/) - [Español (es)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/es/generar-canciones-musica-suno-ia/) - [Français (fr)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/fr/generer-musique-chanson-suno-guide/) - [हिन्दी (hi)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/hi/ai-music-song-generator-suno-guide/) - [Bahasa Indonesia (id)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/id/cara-membuat-lagu-ai-dengan-suno/) - [Italiano (it)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/it/come-generare-musica-canzoni-suno/) - [日本語 (ja)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/ja/suno-ai-music-song-generator-guide/) - [한국어 (ko)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/ko/suno-ai-music-song-generator-guide/) - [Português (pt)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/pt/como-gerar-musica-com-suno/) - [Русский (ru)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/ru/suno-ai-music-song-generation-guide/) - [Türkçe (tr)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/tr/suno-ile-yapay-zeka-muzik-uretimi/) - [Tiếng Việt (vi)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/vi/tao-nhac-bai-hat-suno/) - [中文 (zh)](https://oranzy.ai/blog/zh/suno-ai-music-song-generator-guide/)
