Pro tip

Try using specific adjectives and details in your descriptions, such as “upbeat tempo” or “electronic synths,” to guide Udio in generating more tailored tracks.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid vague descriptions like “make a song.” Instead, be specific about the style and elements you want, as this will help Udio produce a more satisfying result.
