1. Why Prompts Matter in Suno AI

Suno AI is a powerful tool — but it’s not magic without direction.
It’s like asking a chef to “make something tasty” versus giving them a recipe. The vague request might still work, but a detailed recipe gives you exactly what you had in mind.

Your prompts are that recipe. The more precise and creative you are, the better your results.
