Afrobeats Tips for Sonauto
Reviewed by Collins Asein. These adjustments consistently improve Afrobeats output quality in Sonauto.
Use "Nigerian Afrobeats" or "West African pop" instead of artist names like Wizkid or Burna Boy — Sonauto blocks direct artist references.
The word "melodic" is key. Afrobeats in Sonauto defaults to fast and percussive — add "melodic" and "slow-groove" to get the right feel.
Specify BPM around 95–105. Too fast sounds like Dancehall; too slow becomes R&B.
Add "shekere" or "talking drum" to get authentic African percussion rather than generic hi-hats.
For Amapiano-adjacent sound, replace "talking drum" with "log drum" and add "piano house".
