Are you looking to create fresh, unique arrangements from your original tracks using Suno AI? There’s a quirky technique I’ve discovered that delivers surprisingly smooth and creative results—by dialing up the weirdness while dialing down both style and audio influence parameters.
Let’s dive into this phenomenon and explore how you can use it for your next experimental beat or remix.

The Discovery: Weirdness Meets Low Influence
While experimenting with Suno version 4.5 (and confirming in v5), I realized something fascinating about parameter combinations:
- Setting weirdness to 70% or higher
- Keeping both style influence below 10%
- And setting audio influence below 10%
You might expect this combo to produce something completely detached from your seed audio. Instead, Suno generates music where the arrangement still subtly nods to your original track—but with much cooler, smoother, and more inventive twists!
Why Does This Work?
Suno’s internal model seems to interpret “audio influence” and “weirdness” in a non-linear fashion.
- High Weirdness: Injects creative transformations—new riffs, harmonies, progressions, sometimes entire vibe shifts.
- Low Style Influence: Reduces the impact of Suno’s genre templates, so your music isn’t forced into a rigid style box.
- Low Audio Influence: Should, in theory, diminish the reference to the seed audio. But in practice, Suno still retains a surprising amount of your track’s arrangement and groove.
The sweet spot at 70%+ weirdness lets Suno play outside the lines while still respecting your song’s DNA. What you get is a result that feels both original and familiar.
Creative Applications
This technique is perfect for:
- Remixing classic beats or melodies
- Generating lofi reinterpretations with smooth arrangements
- Making experimental backgrounds for videos or podcasts
- Breathing new life into old stems and samples
By fine-tuning these settings, you’ll uncover arrangements that are neither random nor overly predictable—ideal for modern beatmaking and AI-driven production.
Example Settings
Weirdness: 70 – 85%
Style Influence: 5 – 9%
Audio Influence: 5 – 9%Try running various seed tracks through Suno with these settings, and listen for how the arrangement evolves. You’ll hear silky transitions, inventive layering, and a touch of unexpected magic.
Final Thoughts
If you want maximum originality, crank weirdness even higher, but beware: you might sacrifice smoothness for wildness. Keep experimenting—the beauty of AI music tools is discovering workflows like this that weren’t even designed!
