None of the Acid House samples have anything to do with Acid House either. The Jungle samples sound more like Liquid Drum & Bass.

So another slop?

When I try to mix genres that are too different, it chooses only one of them and ignore the others... let's see if it's better in the new version

Makes it weird they chose to demo it like this imho when it's not good at that. This design makes it look like its specifically that being shown off.

Yes, suno has definitely focused more on lyric and melody than prompt following. If the prompt is more than 3-4 words then it deteriorates pretty quickly. I think one reason is that there's not a lot of high quality descriptions of music around - you can guess the genre of the artist, and you can scrape reviews and the like, but that will be pretty noisy.

You can do a lot more detailed prompts with v4.5 than previously and instructions in [brackets] also go a long way now.

Could you elaborate on the instructions in brackets part?

Sure, you can do a lot of things here... stuff in [brackets] isn't sung.

For example I was trying to steer a melodic techno prompt recently in a better direction by putting stuff like this upfront:

    [intro - dramatic synths, pulsing techno bass]
    [organic percussive samples]
    [rolling galloping pulsing gritty bassline]
    [soaring experimental synths, modulation heavy, echos, sound design, 3d sound]
    [lush atmosphere, variation]
    [hypnotic groovy arppegiation arps]
    [sampled repetitive trippy vocal]

All of this is just stuff I kind of made up and wanted in the song, but it meaningfully improved the output over just tags. I think "steering/nudging the generation space" is a decent idea for how I feel like this affects the output.

I also often use them to structure things around song structure like [intro], [break], [chorus], and even get more descriptive with these describing things or moments I'd like to happen. Again adherence is not perfect, but seems to help steer things.

One of my favorite tags I've seen is [Suck the entire song through vacuum] and well... I choose to believe, check out 1:29 https://suno.com/s/xdIDhlKQUed0Dp1I

Worth playing around with a bunch, especially if you're not quite getting something interesting or in the direction you want.

Brackets such as [Verse] help provide waveform separation in the edit view so that you can easily edit that section without manually dragging the slider.

Others such as [Interrupt] will provide a DJ-like fade-out / announcement (that was <Artist name>, next up..." / fade-in - providing an opportunity to break the AI out of repetitive loops it obsesses about.

I've used [Bridge] successfully, and [Instrumental] [No vocals] work reliably as well (there are also instrumental options, but I still use brackets out of habit I guess).

I tested around five genres although they were more mainstream than what you picked and they were quite good, for instance French Ska. If someone told me it was an actual French Ska band I wouldn't have doubted it. Or Klezmer music, but maybe the Jiddish wasn't totally correct.

All of the non-English lyrics are so cringe as to border on intentional parody.

Good call. Need to test some songs in my mother tongue.

Agreed, Suno still very often does not follow instructions
