What’s up, dudes—Opraia here. In this video I tested Sonauto (aka Sono/Sonado… I’m still not 100% sure how to pronounce it), a new AI music prompter that’s making headlines because it’s currently free to use. I show how you can register and start generating songs right away, and at least during this beta period it doesn’t seem to have a credit system, meaning you can prompt a lot without instantly hitting a paywall (that could change later). I also listen through popular community tracks to get a feel for how far people are pushing styles, vocals, and even different languages. From my own prompts, I break down what Sonauto does well—and where it falls apart. I noticed more vocal variety than what I usually hear in Suno, but it’s also not consistently following prompts, especially on very specific details (like beatboxing, exact instruments like sitar, or strict language requests). I tried recreating “sounds like” specific bands (like Linkin Park) and even a Sting-style vibe, and it didn’t get particularly close with my prompts. Overall, I’d call Sonauto very decent for a totally free tool, roughly in the same conversation as Udio/Suno artistically, but with a more raw, lower-production/underground feel—and I also flag the unclear commercial rights situation in the terms.
