Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good SUNO prompt for podcast music?

A strong podcast music prompt specifies: (1) the energy level and BPM, (2) the key instruments, (3) the emotional tone, and (4) a time cue for how the music should arc. SUNO responds well to specific production language — 'driving acoustic guitar' beats 'guitar music'.

How long should podcast intro music be?

Most podcast intros run 15–30 seconds. Outros can be 30–60 seconds. Transition beds are typically 5–10 seconds. When prompting SUNO, include a time cue like 'building to a peak at 20 seconds' to guide the arc.

Can I use AI-generated music commercially in my podcast?

SUNO and Udio both offer commercial licenses on paid plans. Always verify the license terms for your specific subscription tier before distributing commercially. Mardea prompts work on both platforms.

Do these prompts work with Udio as well as SUNO?

Yes. All Mardea prompt templates use the Prompt Trinity Framework™ which is platform-agnostic. The same structured prompt language produces great results on both SUNO and Udio.
