Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with Suno, that AI music generator, and see if I could get some cool acid jazz tracks. I’ve been listening to a lot of it lately, and I was curious how Suno would handle it.
Getting Started
First, I just jumped into Suno. No real plan, just wanted to experiment. I started with some simple prompts, like, you know, “acid jazz.”
The First Try: My initial prompts were pretty basic:
- “acid jazz”
- “smooth acid jazz”
Honestly, the results were… okay. They were jazzy, sure, but not really what I’d call acid jazz. They were missing that funky, electronic edge.
Digging Deeper with Prompts
So, I knew I needed to be more specific with my prompts. I started thinking about the elements of acid jazz that I really love – the groovy basslines, the funky drums, the dreamy synths. That kind of stuff. So i decide use these promots.
More Detailed Prompts:
- “acid jazz with a heavy bassline and funky drums”
- “upbeat acid jazz with 70s synth sounds and a walking bass”
- “acid jazz track, female vocals, smoky atmosphere, late-night vibes”
- “acid jazz instrumental, lots of improvisation, electric piano solo, muted trumpet”
- “driving acid jazz, fast tempo, saxophone lead, energetic”
These prompts started to get me closer to what I was looking for! Adding those extra details about instrumentation and mood made a big difference.
Refining and Iterating
Then it was just a matter of playing around. I’d take a track I liked, and use the “Continue From This Clip” feature, tweak the prompt a bit, and see what happened. I messed with adding things like “wah-wah guitar” or “flute solo” to see if I could push things in a certain direction. Just plain old trial and error, really.
My Takeaways
The biggest thing I learned? Specificity is KEY. The more details you can give Suno about the instruments, the tempo, the overall feel you’re going for, the better the results.
It’s also fun to just experiment! Don’t be afraid to throw in some weird descriptors, I’ve tried to put ‘a cat singing’ in the promots and Suno really create songs with cat voice！. You might be surprised at what Suno comes up with. It’s not always perfect, but it’s a really fun way to explore different musical ideas.
