Guide 2: Creator's Toolkit—Structuring Studio-Quality Music with Lyria and Suno V5

Syndicate AI

Syndicate AI Solutions offers access to both Google Lyria and Suno V5, allowing you to generate music for any project need, from adaptive background scoring to structured lyrical compositions.

Lyria 2: The High-Control, Adaptive Composer

Lyria 2 is a text-to-music model designed to generate high-fidelity, custom soundtracks that are ideal for businesses needing adaptive media and low-latency background scoring.

  1. Granular Control: Lyria 2 offers greater creative control over characteristics such as instruments, BPM (beats per minute), and general music characteristics directly from text prompts.
  2. Enterprise Integration: Lyria 2 scales to enterprise workloads via Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, benefiting from auto-scaling and security compliance. It is ideal for applications requiring dynamic or adaptive background music (e.g., interactive kiosks or gaming environments).
  3. Real-Time Steerability: Using Lyria RealTime via the Gemini API, you can steer music generation in real-time. By sending new WeightedPrompt messages, you can alter the generated music, and the model will transition smoothly based on the new input.
  4. Provenance: Lyria 2 utilizes SynthID to embed an imperceptible digital watermark directly into the audio output, ensuring the content is identifiable as AI-generated media.

Suno V5: Mastering Song Structure with Meta Tags

Suno is favored for lyrical composition and creating polished song structures. Suno v5 specifically maintains flawless structural coherence across various song formats, from short hooks to eight-minute epics.

  1. Meta Tag Usage: The key technique to controlling Suno’s output is using meta tags (enclosed in brackets [ ]) within your prompt. These markers act as structural guidelines, telling the AI how to arrange song sections and ensuring the music sounds polished and listener-friendly.
  2. Basic Meta Tag Examples:
    • [Intro]: Defines the song’s start, e.g., "A soft piano melody builds suspense...".
    • [Verse]: Marks a verse section, e.g., "Smooth R&B vocals over a jazzy beat...".
    • [Chorus]: Creates the main hook, e.g., "Big, anthemic vocals with soaring synths...".
    • [Drop]: Signals an energetic drop, good for EDM, e.g., "Heavy bass kicks in with a deep synth wobble...".
  3. Best Practices for Clarity: Be specific within your tags, moving beyond vague instructions like "[Chorus] make it catchy" to detailed descriptions like "[Chorus] an emotional vocal hook with layered harmonies".
  4. Commercial Rights: For professional use and monetization, maintain a Pro or Premier subscription tier, which grants full commercial rights and access to watermark-free tracks via the authorized API.
