Suno Cover

Create a cover version of an existing audio track using Suno AI.

Overview

Suno Cover takes a source audio track and generates a new cover version of it. You can customize the output with different lyrics, style tags, vocal gender, and model selection. The source audio can be provided via a direct URL or connected from an upstream node.

Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
Prompt	string	""	Description of how the cover should differ from the original. Max length is per-version: 5000 for the V6 family (V6 / V6_WILD / V6_MINI) and V4.5 / V4.5PLUS / V4.5ALL / V5 / V5.5, 3000 for V4; 3000 in non-custom mode on every version. Over-long input is truncated to the model’s limit — the editor warns first.
Source Audio URL	URL	""	URL of the source audio to cover. Can be connected from an upstream node.
Model	enum	"V6"	Suno model version: V6 (greater musical expression, more natural vocals, richer details), V6_WILD (bolder, more distinctive, less predictable), V6_MINI (lightweight and fast), V5_5, V5, V4_5PLUS, V4_5ALL, V4_5, V4.
Title	string (max 80)	""	Title for the cover version.
Lyrics	string	""	Custom lyrics for the cover. Supports Suno metatags. Same per-version max as Prompt.
Style	string (max 1000)	""	Genre and style tags for the cover. Max 1000 for V6 / V4.5+ / V5, 200 for V4.
Negative Style	string (max 500)	""	Styles to avoid in the cover.
Vocal Gender	enum	auto	"male", "female", or unset for automatic selection.
Custom Mode	boolean	false	Enables advanced parameter control.
Instrumental	boolean	false	When true, generates an instrumental cover (removes vocals).
promptPrefix / promptSuffix	text	–	Optional pre/post text wrapped around the prompt at run time (settings panel → Pre & post text; hidden from app users; captured by presets). See Prompt pre & post text.

Inputs & Outputs

• Inputs: in – source audio URL from an upstream audio node
• Outputs: audio – generated cover audio URL

  Best Practices

• Provide a clear prompt describing the target style for the cover (e.g., “acoustic folk version” or “80s synthwave remix”).
• Use the Instrumental toggle to create karaoke-style versions of songs.
• Supply custom lyrics if you want to change the words, not just the musical style.
• Pair with Suno Separate first to isolate vocals or instrumentals from the source before covering.
• Iterate quickly on V6_MINI, then re-run the version you like on V6 for the final output.

Common Use Cases

• Reimagining a track in a completely different genre.
• Creating instrumental or karaoke versions of existing songs.
• Changing vocal gender on an existing track.
• Producing style variations of a Suno Generate output.
• Building a workflow where generated music feeds into a cover for iterative refinement.

Tips

• The source audio must be accessible via a public URL. Connect an upstream Suno Generate or upload node to provide it automatically.
• Custom Mode unlocks fine-grained control over style interpretation.
• Negative Style is particularly effective for covers – use it to prevent the AI from retaining unwanted elements of the original.
