Sonauto-specific errors that produce weak Drill output. And exactly how to fix each one.
Not adding the "Style: " prefix
Why it happens: Sonauto's model expects prompts to begin with "Style: ". Without it, the tag system processes differently and output quality drops noticeably.
Fix: Always prefix your Drill prompt: "Style: Drill, dark, sliding 808, off-beat snare, 140 BPM".

Drill Tips for Sonauto
Reviewed by Collins Asein. These adjustments consistently improve Drill output quality in Sonauto.
"Sliding 808" is the key phrase. Without it Sonauto gives standard trap bass instead of the chromatic drill bass.
Specify "UK Drill" for the London sound or "Chicago Drill" for the original style. They produce notably different outputs.
Off-beat snare placement is critical: use "syncopated snare" or "off-beat snare pattern".
Strings add authenticity: "dark orchestral strings" or "ominous violin" elevate the output.
Avoid "happy" or "uplifting". Drill is inherently dark. Lean into words like "cold", "ominous", "menacing".
