# Lower Audio influence when the cover sticks too hard

SongCoverGen's Audio influence control sets how closely the cover follows your recording. If the new genre never shows up, lower influence and raise Style weight a step.

1. Upload the reference song and pick Custom mode.
2. Write a style brief up to 1000 characters; set vocal preference male or female as a preference, not a promise.
3. Run V6 Mini first; nudge Creative variation only after the genre already lands.

Exclude styles (up to 200 characters) can block autotune or other habits you do not want. Home is [SongCoverGen](https://aisongcovergenerator.com/); plans are on [pricing](https://aisongcovergenerator.com/pricing).
