Common Mistakes

3 Mistakes People Make with Sonauto + Funk

Sonauto-specific errors that produce weak Funk output. And exactly how to fix each one.

Mistake 1

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 Funk prompt: "Style: Funk, groovy, slap bass, wah guitar, 90 BPM".

Mistake 2

Using prompts longer than 200 characters

Why it happens: Sonauto performs best with focused, concise prompts. Exceeding 200 characters in the style field causes the model to deprioritize key genre tags.

Fix: Keep Funk prompts under 200 characters. If your prompt is longer, identify the 4–5 most critical tags and remove the rest.

Mistake 3

Expecting different output from Suno prompts

Why it happens: Sonauto accepts the same style tags as Suno AI. This is a feature, not a limitation. Don't reinvent prompts from scratch.

Fix: Copy your best-performing Suno Funk prompts directly into Sonauto. The output will be similar. Sonauto's advantage is speed and free credits, not a different prompt format.
