What is Sonauto v2?

Sonauto v2 is a full-song generation model with the broadest input flexibility in the Oakgen.ai music-generator catalog. You can drive it with any combination of three inputs: a natural-language description of the track, a set of style tags (genre, mood, instrumentation, era), and your own lyrics — or leave the lyrics field empty for an instrumental cut. On top of that, you get explicit BPM targeting, a prompt-strength slider that balances adherence vs. naturalness, a vocal-vs-instrument balance control, and a one- or two-song output toggle for in-run A/B testing. Output formats span WAV and FLAC for production work, MP3 for direct upload, and OGG / M4A for niche pipelines, which makes it a strong fit for catalog work where formats vary across destinations.

Why Sonauto v2 is popular

• Tag-driven workflow is the differentiator — describe the music in tags like 'pop, upbeat, summer, acoustic' and the model treats each tag as a steering signal rather than a single blurry prompt.
• Real BPM control lets you target tempo precisely (60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 BPM) instead of hoping a description like 'fast' lands close enough.
• Five output formats — WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A — make it the most pipeline-friendly music model on Oakgen.ai when destinations vary by platform.
• Optional custom lyrics with section markers ([verse], [chorus]) give producers control over vocal content without forcing every project into a custom-mode workflow.
• Vocal-vs-instrument balance slider lets you push toward sharper instrumentals or more prominent vocals without rewriting the prompt.

When to use Sonauto v2

• You want to direct a track with tags (genre, mood, instrumentation, era) instead of writing a single dense prompt.
• Tempo matters — you need a specific BPM target to match an edit, a workout video, or a brand pacing.
• You're producing for varied pipelines and need WAV or FLAC for production cuts plus MP3 for fast uploads.
• You want both vocal and instrumental cuts of the same track — run with lyrics first, then re-run with an empty lyrics field.
• You're doing A/B creative testing for an ad and want two song variations from the same brief in a single generation.

How to use Sonauto v2

1. 1

   Describe the track or write lyrics

   Enter a prompt describing genre, mood, tempo, and instrumentation — or supply your own lyrics for a vocal track. You can combine both for precise control over the output.

2. 2

   Set duration and style

   Choose clip length (typically 30 seconds to 4 minutes depending on model), vocal style, and any model-specific controls like reference tracks or instrumental-only mode.

3. 3

   Generate

   Hit generate. Music models usually return in 1–3 minutes with a complete, structured track — intro, verse, chorus, and outro — in a single file.

4. 4

   Download or extend

   Export MP3 or WAV for use in videos, podcasts, games, and creator content. Many models support extension — take a promising 30-second clip and extend it into a full track.

Tips for better results

• Be specific about genre and mood. 'Lo-fi hip-hop with a jazzy piano and lazy beat' gets you much closer than 'chill music'.
• Name instruments explicitly. 'Acoustic guitar, soft strings, subtle synth pad' produces a far more coherent track than abstract descriptions.
• Describe the arc: 'builds from sparse intro to full chorus at 0:30, then drops at 0:45'. Structure cues help models produce tracks with musical narrative.
• Tempo matters. Include BPM if you have a target ('90 BPM downtempo') or descriptive cues ('slow, ballad tempo' vs 'energetic, driving 120 BPM').
• For vocal tracks, give the model a clear lyrical theme and emotional tone — 'melancholic breakup ballad' vs 'confident anthem about persistence'.
• Reference real artists or eras carefully — some models respond well to 'in the style of 70s Motown' but avoid copying specific living artists for commercial use.
• Iterate by re-running with small prompt changes. Same seed + tweaked genre cue often produces related variants you can stitch together.

Popular use cases

Sonauto v2 vs other motion-transfer tools

vs Prompt-only song model

A prompt-only song generator on Oakgen.ai gives you one text input and a few hidden defaults. Sonauto v2 gives you tags, optional lyrics, BPM, prompt-strength, and balance controls on top of the prompt. Pick the prompt-only model when you want fast and simple; pick Sonauto v2 when you need real handles on tempo, mix, and style.

vs Instrumental-only music model

Instrumental-only models on Oakgen are perfect for background beds. Sonauto v2 produces full songs with vocals when you supply lyrics — and also produces instrumentals when you leave the lyrics field empty. Pick the instrumental-only model when you only ever need beds; pick Sonauto v2 when the same project needs both vocal and instrumental cuts.

vs Stock music subscription

Stock subscriptions are fast but recycle the same tracks across every brand using them. Sonauto v2 on Oakgen.ai produces original tracks on your brief with explicit BPM and tag control, full commercial rights on paid plans, and lossless format options — better fit for catalog-heavy operators who can't afford generic music across campaigns.
