v4.5 is a lot better at adherence with detailed descriptions!
Still not totally adherent, but if you can steer it with genre, detailed descriptions of genre, and elements of the genre it's way better than v4. Some descriptions work better than others so there's some experimentation to figure out what works for what you're trying to achieve.
You can also provide descriptions in [brackets] in the lyrics that work reasonably well in my experience.
Have been using Suno over the last few iterations and can vouch for this; steering the final product with style tags is a lot better now and I can use more natural language rather than trying to come up with what the genre specific "wordings" for certain styles of music would be. Good to know the tip about the brackets in lyrics too.
Some examples of style descriptions I've used that generated results close to what I had in mind are "romantic comedy intro music, fast and exciting, new york city" (aiming for something like the Sex and the City theme) and "mature adult romance reality tv show theme song, breakbeats, seductive, intimate, saxophones, lots of saxophones" which did indeed produce cheesy porn music.
Please make noise internally that the product desperately needs a tutorial and a prompting guide! Itβs amazing if you hang out on Discord and spend a lot of time learning, but people just sitting down with it have no idea how to use it.
