1
Learn the prompt anatomy for music tools
AI music prompts need five elements: genre, mood, instruments, tempo, and reference. Missing any one of them produces generic results.
Example prompt
I want to generate music for [USE CASE: background, intro, ad, game, etc.]. Help me build a complete prompt. Ask me: 1) Genre and subgenre, 2) Mood and emotion, 3) Key instruments (3-5 max), 4) Tempo (BPM or relative: slow/mid/fast), 5) Any reference artists or tracks. Then assemble my answers into an optimized prompt for [SUNO/UDIO/MUSICGEN/etc.].
2
Iterate with negative prompts and style modifiers
Most AI music tools accept negative prompts. Use them to remove what you don't want and add style modifiers to push closer to your target.
Example prompt
I generated this music track but it has these problems: [DESCRIBE ISSUES: too slow, wrong instruments, too busy, etc.]. Based on my original prompt: [PASTE ORIGINAL PROMPT]. Give me: 1) A revised positive prompt that addresses the issues, 2) Negative prompt keywords to exclude, 3) Three style modifier phrases I can add to shift the sound in the right direction.
3
Match music to video or content timing
When scoring for video, use AI to break the track into sections that match scene changes, not just a single vibe prompt.
Example prompt
I need background music for a [DURATION]-second video with these scene changes: [LIST SCENES WITH TIMESTAMPS]. For each scene, describe: the emotional tone needed, the instrumentation that fits, and the energy level (1-10). Then write a single music prompt that could work across all scenes, and identify where a version with a key change or energy shift should happen.
