> Seven Suno songs made in Nodaro from music pickers. Choose a genre, a mood, instruments and a voice, and the pickers write the description Suno receives.

The **Making music with nodes** tutorial makes seven songs without a written song description. Each [Suno Create Music](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/audio/suno-create-music) node takes its description from music pickers: you choose a genre, a mood, instruments and a voice, and each picker adds its words. This page shows each recipe, the exact text Suno received and the track it made.

## How the pickers write the description
Workflow: Example 1: four pickers connected to the Audio style input of one Suno Create Music node, with an empty prompt.

- Music Genre → Suno Create Music (audio style)
- Music Mood → Suno Create Music (audio style)
- Instrumentation → Suno Create Music (audio style)
- Voice Character → Suno Create Music (audio style)

1. Connect each picker to the **Audio style** input of a **Suno Create Music** node.
2. Leave the **Prompt** empty, or type a few words of your own. Your words come first, and the pickers' words follow them.
3. Click **Run**. **Style**, **Title** and **Lyrics** are empty, so the node runs in simple mode: Suno receives one description and writes the words it sings itself.

These runs used Suno V5. A new Suno node starts on Suno V6; [Which Suno version to choose](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/audio/suno-create-music#which-suno-version-to-choose) compares the versions.

## The seven recipes
### 1. The basics
Four pickers and no prompt.

| Picker | Choices |
| --- | --- |
| **Music Genre** | **Genre** Electronic, **Subgenre** Psytrance |
| **Music Mood** | **Vibe** Futuristic, **Energy** Building, **Emotion** Triumphant |
| **Instrumentation** | **Production** Modern, **Instruments** Saxophone and Bass Guitar |
| **Voice Character** | **Timbre** Deep, **Language** English |

```
psytrance, building energy triumphant futuristic, modern production saxophone, bass guitar, English-speaking deep timbre
```

With a subgenre chosen, the Music Genre picker wrote only the subgenre: "psytrance", not "electronic".

### 2. Adding Voice Delivery
A new genre, a new mood and a full voice: the Voice Character picker sets the age, gender, timbre and accent, and a fifth picker, Voice Delivery, sets the tone.

### 5. Instrumental only
No voice pickers, **Instrumental (no vocals)** turned on, and the Instrumentation picker's **Vocal Presence** set to **Instrumental**. Music Genre takes two genres at once.

### 6. Two Instrumentation pickers and a prompt
No Music Genre picker this time. The prompt names the genre, and two Instrumentation pickers each add their own words, one after the other.

| Picker | Choices |
| --- | --- |
| **Music Mood** | **Vibe** Cinematic, **Energy** Simmering, **Emotion** Mysterious |
| **Instrumentation** | **Production** Modern, **Instruments** Oud, Duduk and Frame Drum, **Vocal Presence** Instrumental |

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I describe a song for Suno without knowing music terms?

Connect music pickers to the Audio style input of a Suno Create Music node, such as Music Genre, Music Mood, Instrumentation and Voice Character. You choose options from pictures, and the pickers join their words into the description Suno receives.

### Can I add my own words to what the pickers write?

Yes. Type them in the Prompt of the Suno node. In examples 3 and 4 on this page, a short prompt came first and the pickers' words followed it.

### How do I make a track without vocals?

Turn on Instrumental (no vocals) on the Suno node and leave the voice pickers out. Example 5 also set the Vocal Presence of the Instrumentation picker to Instrumental, which adds "instrumental, no vocals".

### How much does one song cost?

One run of Suno V5 costs 33 credits. The pickers cost nothing.
