Create Acapellas with Suno

Understanding the Challenge

Many music producers are struggling to consistently create clean acapella tracks using Suno AI. Even with specific prompts like “acapella” or “only vocal,” the results often include background noise or instruments.

Finding a Consistent Method

Tip 1: Use Stem Separation Tools

One way to increase your chances of getting clean vocals is to use a stem separation tool in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). These tools can help isolate vocals from any instrumental tracks.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Do you have access to a stem separation tool in your DAW? They aren't perfect but might be good enough. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Tip 2: Modify Prompts and Experiment

Experiment with different prompt combinations to see what works best. Mixing melodic vocal prompts with spoken word prompts can sometimes yield better results.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ a capella scat nigun, comedy show, spoken word, reading vocalist, vocalized ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Tip 3: Utilize UVR (Ultimate Vocal Remover)

Running the generated track through a tool like UVR can help isolate the vocal more effectively. When you add this to your own instrumental, your drums and bass should cover any remaining noise.

Tip 4: Use Style Tags

Incorporate style tags such as “a capella harmonic” or specific vocal styles in your prompts. This can help guide Suno to produce more accurate acapella tracks.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I try to put A cappella on style and it give me something like pentatonix, really great. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Examples and Testing

Example 1: Pure Acapella Attempt

Here’s a sample where Suno was prompted for acapella, and the result was tagged as “a capella harmonic.”

Example 2: Mixed Results

Sometimes, even with the right prompts, you might get a mix of vocals and instruments. Consistent testing and tweaking of prompts are necessary.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Version 3 does acapella half of the time but not always. I am yet to get 3.5 to do purely vocals. Highly frustrating. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Conclusion

Creating consistent acapella tracks with Suno AI can be challenging, but by using stem separation tools, experimenting with different prompts, utilizing vocal isolators like UVR, and adding specific style tags, you can improve your chances. Remember, persistence is key, and staying updated with Suno’s features and user tips can make a big difference in your music production journey.
