Cool: Make music even if you know little about making music. You can hear some of the AI-generated songs here: https://app.suno.ai/ https://app.suno.ai/

  Are you making music, or generating music?
  - CaptainOfCoit 3y ago
    What's the difference? The medium used to create it? "Making music" = soft tissues in our brain VS "generating music" = hard transistors in a chip?
    - adroniser 3y ago
      You don't have much control over what is being generated. And if you did want to have fine control then what would be the difference compared to just dicking around on a synthesizer? A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. After all, you and the artist are both just human at the end of the day. This is why for instance I have a hard time believing in AI girlfriends or AI therapists. It's not that I don't think that an AI could learn to be empathetic and say the right things at the right time, it's that I think there is something about you the human knowing it is an AI speaking that would make you not be able to connect. It's the knowledge that they haven't had any life experiences like you. They haven't had adversity or struggle.
      - lacrimacida 3y ago
        I agree about music. When it comes to girlfriends and therapists when the medium is text the connection could be faked with a large corpus and RLHF. Keep in mind that some people already have inflatable girlfriends. It aint pretty but may serve some purpose for disfunctional people. I’d get more worried if it becomes a bigger thing. When it comes to chat therapy, it could be an interesting mode of self discovery. My only worry is if the goal is to attempt to replace therapists altogether.
        adroniser 3y ago
        Don't you think simply knowing it was an AI would mean you can't take it seriously? Or do you think this is just a cultural thing that will fade away in coming years.
        lacrimacida 3y ago
        If it appears that it understands what you’re talking about, remembers past dialogue why not take it seriously, at least until you find serious flaws?
        adroniser 3y ago
        I'm saying that it's always going to be in the back of your head that it's an AI regardless of how it acts.
        lacrimacida 3y ago
        If it’s like a mirror of how you act that makes it for an interesting tool. Nonetheless, a tool!

        >Are you making music, or generating music? > You don't have much control over what is being generated I don't understand this nitpick at all. What part of "make" implies fine-grained control over the output? Parents didn't have much control over what's generated when a child is, but by any reasonable definition of the word "make", the baby that comes out is "made" by the mother and (to a lesser extent) the father! > A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. I think you might be assuming that your experience generalizes a lot more than it does. I've been a musician for decades, and I'm constantly listening to music, and I don't need to know who did what to be able to enjoy a song. To be clear, there's nothing _wrong_ with that being part of your enjoyment, but there's nothing wrong with just liking to hear sounds that sound "good" without caring about where they came from.
        adroniser 3y ago
        I am definitely generalizing. It does seem to be a common sentiment expressed when this gets brought up though. Whether it's just an instance of me clinging on to anything to distinguish from AI or if it's a legitimate problem remains to be seen I guess. And there definitely are songs I feel I just enjoy in their own right. As for 'make' I guess that just comes down to semantics.
        saghm 3y ago
        How do you reconcile the fact that music from people who have done pretty despicable things can still be widely popular? You can certainly argue that enough people are willing to look past someone being a murderer or child abuser or something because they still can find some sort of human connection with the artist, but given how uncommon that sort of sentiment is in basically every other part of life, it seems far more likely that people just don't really think about it an artist at all when they listen to their music if the artist is someone they wouldn't want to connect with.
        adroniser 3y ago
      - p1esk 3y ago
        Check out aiva.ai if you want more control over what’s being generated. Regarding the connection with an artist - I think it’s overrated. I don’t really care about Lady Gaga life experience to enjoy her songs. I have no idea who created half of the songs on my Spotify playlist. Artists create brief virtual life experiences through their songs. Songs I like usually remind me about something I have experienced or would like to experience.

You relate maybe because you've been there too. After all, you and the artist are both just human at the end of the day. Absolutely not the case for me. The artist is just a name and I often don't know what the song is called. I have zero interest in the "meaning". It's all about the melody/harmonics, beat and production value for me.
        brookst 3y ago
        Melody, beat, and production techniques are all ways to express meaning. Do you feel anything when listening to favorite music? Odds are that feeling, or something like it, are intentionally conveyed, even in instrumentals.
        Kiro 3y ago
        Sure, but I would experience the same feelings if it was produced by an AI.

        A whole lot of the songs people like have lyrics and music written by the someone entirely different than the artists people connect with the song. A lot of the time people don't even know the name of them.
    - thih9 3y ago
      Not necessarily. If you hatch a songbird, feed it, take care of it and later record it, then you’ve generated music. If you resample it and arrange it into a new song, then you’ve added your input and made a new musical piece. And sure, this can get blurry at times.
      - brookst 3y ago
        Why does that matter? And when we look at great songwriters, do we need to know their educational background and what music they’ve listened to in order to determine how much of their work is created out of thin air versus arrived at by reasoning over theory and inspiration from other work?
        thih9 3y ago
        I guess it matters if/when it affects how much you’re enjoying the music or how you’re perceiving the author.
    - CharlesW 3y ago
      > What's the difference? Because humans aren't actually doing the generating either, the answer gets clearer when the question is something like, "are you making music, or telling something to make you music?" Replicators are a good analogy. Ordering a meal from a replicator doesn't make you a cook any more than giving Midjourney an order makes you an artist.
      - BriggyDwiggs42 3y ago
        Replicators make from a prebuilt list. With these, you have to come up with the prompt. There might still be an art in the prompting.
        8n4vidtmkvmk 3y ago
        A fancy replicator could also give you lots of knobs
        BriggyDwiggs42 3y ago
        If the number of different knobs is is sufficient to make it impossible that any one person could try all the combinations, manipulating the knobs could be an art. You could imagine eg cooking using that method.
    - xanderlewis 3y ago
      Let’s look at the input required for each, in the context of computer-aided music production. ‘Generated’ music: typing a prompt and pressing the RETURN key (time required: ~10 seconds) ‘Made’ music: thinking about melody, harmony and rhythm and writing down or programming in each from scratch. Choosing sounds and MIDI instruments. Experimenting with different effects, tweaking every parameter precisely and playing around (using your ears for feedback) until you find something you like. Finally, mixing the tracks together so the whole thing sounds cohesive. (time required: ~1 hour, min.) To me, it seems hard to confuse the two processes. You may very well argue that the ‘AI’ is doing something analogous to human music production (well… architecturally it isn’t, but you could at least argue it’s equivalent in some sense), but arguing that the human who typed the prompt ‘wrote the song’ seems to be… to put it lightly, rather overstating it.
    - chupapimunyenyo 3y ago
      Oh I hate those pseudo-smart replies like this. You clearly know when it's generating and the distinction between creating and making (composing) music. It's generating when you prompt the ai to do all the work for you. As simple as this, you don't touch the actual producing part yourself. If you commission a song to a producer to make for your game, you don't make the music. The producer makes it
  - noduerme 3y ago
    Neither. The people who built the AI are generating music for you.
Spiwux 3y ago
Cool tech demo, not even close to a level quality I'd consider paying for
- maerF0x0 3y ago
  It would be interesting if it could generate accompanying sheet music so artists can then turn around and record it
- DoesntMatter22 3y ago
  I'd pay for it. I make music and it puts a lot of great harmonies together that I could use. Sound quality isn't perfect yet but it's decent
- YetAnotherNick 3y ago
  I think this is intended for advertizers. I have seen lot worse music mostly for products aimed at kids and they likely take 1000s of dollars to write and record.
  - u320 3y ago
    Library music costs about the same and is much, much higher quality.
    - YetAnotherNick 3y ago
      You aren't comparing the same thing. Custom produced thing is entirely different than buying samples. You still need musical talent to work with library music.
- echelon 3y ago
  Doesn't matter. They'll raise $50M on this and keep building. In five years, you'll eat your hat.
- csmpltn 3y ago
  I agree that the quality isn't ideal, but I think this tool helps artists iterate much faster and cheaper. I wouldn't focus on the quality of the output, beyond the threshold which allows the artists to generate a reasonable idea of what they eventually want to make. Think about all the hard work that traditionally goes into composing a single title. Artists will spend days, weeks and sometimes months trying to iterate on ideas. Writing, composing, demoing, tracking and recording, mixing, etc. Think about all of the expensive software and hardware that goes into this process (instruments, microphones, studios, DAWs, VSTs, etc). It's an expensive and difficult process, it's very manual, very sequential. This could easily be used to speed up that iterative process. Just ask this software to generate 100 ideas for your next bridge, and iterate that way.

There is quite a potential for ephemeral musical messages and memes. It can generate resonable lyrics similarly to ChatGPT generating responses with just “Give me funny response to ´claim´”.

    Another piece of feedback which might save you server costs: On /create/ in custom mode, after tapping the Create button, I feel like I should be shown the progress in the Library to see the result processing. I am surely more likely to want to see the output after Create is tapped than to stay at that screen to create another immediately without see the previous result. When not in custom mode, the user sees the processing immediately. In custom, I will keep tapping Create for no good reason thinking that nothing happened. [0] Also, this is super fun to the point where I actually subscribed. Thanks for making this! [0] Currently the button changes label for 1 second, but that's not what I want to see. Before figuring it out, I wasted your my credits and your server costs by tapping Create unnecessarily.
    - JonathanFly 3y ago
      >On /create/ in custom mode, after tapping the Create button, I feel like I should be shown the progress in the Library to see the result processing. You don't see a progress bar but you should see the song appear with a loading icon in about 1 second. Might be a UI bug. What are you viewing the site on?

I love this, was thinking about paying for an artist to create some music for my project but now I can do this all myself for free (for now). There may be an open source version of Suno somewhere but this will do. Most of the music on Suno is really indistinguishable from music that has been made by humans, but doesn't really matter to me anyway. The TTS needs a bit of improvement but nonetheless, great work from Suno.

I am entertained that it made the mistake of turning a direction ("put sleigh bells in the background") into the lyric, with backing singer saying "Klingelingeling" I think the low 'hit' rate might be turning off some people, but I'm happy to audition through 10 songs to find a single good one. I hadn't been following the state of audio generation with AI, but this definitely feels like a breakthrough moment for me, just as image generation did, and chatgpt. I'm a video-game developer, so can imagine using this now and then for quick jam games. Anyway, cool cool stuff!

This is impressive. One UI thing on iOS Safari: In custom generation at least, when you tap Create, the button does not change or disable. So it's easy to use up credits on the same thing thinking that nothing ever happened. Meanwhile, they all do get created on each tap and appear in your library.

  It will allow more people to do a Monte Carlo search across a much broader spectrum. The mass will filter through this by popularity. And good people/artists will be able to learn faster, more and iterate faster over ideas. For everyone else who actually doesn't care that much, they will get similar content cheaper. After all there are so so many people watching normal TV daily with a ton of advertising or blindly radio which delivers the same top 50 list over and over.

    - Wilduck 3y ago
      We won't know for sure until there's actual law or court decisions to reference, but until then, it's worth looking at something like the Monkey Selfie copyright dispute[1] for guidance. The article references a 2014 opinion from the United States Copyright Office > only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention ... Because copyright law is limited to 'original intellectual conceptions of the author', the [copyright] office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work. The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants The extension of this to AI would be saying basically that the copyright office simply wouldn't extend copyright of an AI created work to any party. In the case of one of these songs, though, if you wrote your own lyrics, you would still have the copyright to those lyrics, if not the full piece of music generated from them.

      It's just another tool - synths are computer generated as well, so what does it matter whether a computer or human decides to push the button?

      - joduplessis 3y ago
        I totally agree with you actually - but the tooling here is for producing content, not for composing music (like your synth example). It's exactly the same as MidJourney - the target user is not the artist, but the regular user. I wouldn't be surprised in a couple of years we have terms similar to "buy local", but for content generated by AI - like "buy human".

What's the legal status of ToS clauses about restrictions on what you can do with the generated audio? I'd have thought that AI can't own copyright -- what does that say about one's ability to monetize (under the free tier, say) -- are those prohibitions enforceable? (I can make plenty of guesses myself, so I'm most interested in hearing informed replies with references rather than speculation.)
- dwallin 3y ago
  This is a contract violation, not a copyright issue. But if you share your audio with someone who isn’t party to this agreement, there is likely nothing stopping THEM from using it commercially.

I would be the farm that eventually, every song output out of this to be the same. Oh, I love me some Phil Collins too. More tools to make the universal language is a good thing.

I have been generating songs for days now ; it's really good at some things, especially metal and rap. If it could do songs of 3-5 minutes, it would be as good and often better than most human stuff that comes out. And it can do any language; in Dutch it often makes the singing Flemish or Brabant/Limburg for some reason. The Spanish rap is excellent and got some great results with industrial metal too. This is, at least for me, far more impressive than image generation. Once they have an API , i would just leave this running in the background to generate music while working.

  Whoa! Did you guys just change the voicing that is singing in the link? Wait, did the track change entirely? Does this happen every so often? I don't get it. Why would it regen? Should I be saving audio and sharing it via GDrive or whatever at every interesting playback? I was replaying this track all night long. Then suddenly the linked song was different. This is not good UX. I shared it with my friend, which version will they hear? Each time I hit Create, it should make a unique waveform. Crappy from an ML pov, or not. This is all a matter of listener preference. Sometimes artifacts are cool. Each shared link should be a unique "printed" MP3 distributed via CDN, right? Or, am I being silly, and why? This also sounds so much cheaper as far as server costs, doesn't it? Last of all, I love this entire thing. If you have any room in hiring, I have spectral opinions and would love to be involved.

Are you making music, or generating music?
- CaptainOfCoit 3y ago
  What's the difference? The medium used to create it? "Making music" = soft tissues in our brain VS "generating music" = hard transistors in a chip?
  - adroniser 3y ago
    You don't have much control over what is being generated. And if you did want to have fine control then what would be the difference compared to just dicking around on a synthesizer? A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. After all, you and the artist are both just human at the end of the day. This is why for instance I have a hard time believing in AI girlfriends or AI therapists. It's not that I don't think that an AI could learn to be empathetic and say the right things at the right time, it's that I think there is something about you the human knowing it is an AI speaking that would make you not be able to connect. It's the knowledge that they haven't had any life experiences like you. They haven't had adversity or struggle.
    - lacrimacida 3y ago
      I agree about music. When it comes to girlfriends and therapists when the medium is text the connection could be faked with a large corpus and RLHF. Keep in mind that some people already have inflatable girlfriends. It aint pretty but may serve some purpose for disfunctional people. I’d get more worried if it becomes a bigger thing. When it comes to chat therapy, it could be an interesting mode of self discovery. My only worry is if the goal is to attempt to replace therapists altogether.
      - adroniser 3y ago
        Don't you think simply knowing it was an AI would mean you can't take it seriously? Or do you think this is just a cultural thing that will fade away in coming years.
        lacrimacida 3y ago
        If it appears that it understands what you’re talking about, remembers past dialogue why not take it seriously, at least until you find serious flaws?
        adroniser 3y ago
        I'm saying that it's always going to be in the back of your head that it's an AI regardless of how it acts.

        If it’s like a mirror of how you act that makes it for an interesting tool. Nonetheless, a tool!

      >Are you making music, or generating music? > You don't have much control over what is being generated I don't understand this nitpick at all. What part of "make" implies fine-grained control over the output? Parents didn't have much control over what's generated when a child is, but by any reasonable definition of the word "make", the baby that comes out is "made" by the mother and (to a lesser extent) the father! > A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. I think you might be assuming that your experience generalizes a lot more than it does. I've been a musician for decades, and I'm constantly listening to music, and I don't need to know who did what to be able to enjoy a song. To be clear, there's nothing _wrong_ with that being part of your enjoyment, but there's nothing wrong with just liking to hear sounds that sound "good" without caring about where they came from.
      - adroniser 3y ago
        I am definitely generalizing. It does seem to be a common sentiment expressed when this gets brought up though. Whether it's just an instance of me clinging on to anything to distinguish from AI or if it's a legitimate problem remains to be seen I guess. And there definitely are songs I feel I just enjoy in their own right. As for 'make' I guess that just comes down to semantics.
        saghm 3y ago
        How do you reconcile the fact that music from people who have done pretty despicable things can still be widely popular? You can certainly argue that enough people are willing to look past someone being a murderer or child abuser or something because they still can find some sort of human connection with the artist, but given how uncommon that sort of sentiment is in basically every other part of life, it seems far more likely that people just don't really think about it an artist at all when they listen to their music if the artist is someone they wouldn't want to connect with.
        adroniser 3y ago
    - p1esk 3y ago
      Check out aiva.ai if you want more control over what’s being generated. Regarding the connection with an artist - I think it’s overrated. I don’t really care about Lady Gaga life experience to enjoy her songs. I have no idea who created half of the songs on my Spotify playlist. Artists create brief virtual life experiences through their songs. Songs I like usually remind me about something I have experienced or would like to experience.

      > A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too. After all, you and the artist are both just human at the end of the day. Absolutely not the case for me. The artist is just a name and I often don't know what the song is called. I have zero interest in the "meaning". It's all about the melody/harmonics, beat and production value for me.
      - brookst 3y ago
        Melody, beat, and production techniques are all ways to express meaning. Do you feel anything when listening to favorite music? Odds are that feeling, or something like it, are intentionally conveyed, even in instrumentals.

  - thih9 3y ago
    Not necessarily. If you hatch a songbird, feed it, take care of it and later record it, then you’ve generated music. If you resample it and arrange it into a new song, then you’ve added your input and made a new musical piece. And sure, this can get blurry at times.
    - brookst 3y ago
      Why does that matter? And when we look at great songwriters, do we need to know their educational background and what music they’ve listened to in order to determine how much of their work is created out of thin air versus arrived at by reasoning over theory and inspiration from other work?
      - thih9 3y ago
        I guess it matters if/when it affects how much you’re enjoying the music or how you’re perceiving the author.
  - CharlesW 3y ago
    > What's the difference? Because humans aren't actually doing the generating either, the answer gets clearer when the question is something like, "are you making music, or telling something to make you music?" Replicators are a good analogy. Ordering a meal from a replicator doesn't make you a cook any more than giving Midjourney an order makes you an artist.
    - BriggyDwiggs42 3y ago
      Replicators make from a prebuilt list. With these, you have to come up with the prompt. There might still be an art in the prompting.

  - xanderlewis 3y ago
    Let’s look at the input required for each, in the context of computer-aided music production. ‘Generated’ music: typing a prompt and pressing the RETURN key (time required: ~10 seconds) ‘Made’ music: thinking about melody, harmony and rhythm and writing down or programming in each from scratch. Choosing sounds and MIDI instruments. Experimenting with different effects, tweaking every parameter precisely and playing around (using your ears for feedback) until you find something you like. Finally, mixing the tracks together so the whole thing sounds cohesive. (time required: ~1 hour, min.) To me, it seems hard to confuse the two processes. You may very well argue that the ‘AI’ is doing something analogous to human music production (well… architecturally it isn’t, but you could at least argue it’s equivalent in some sense), but arguing that the human who typed the prompt ‘wrote the song’ seems to be… to put it lightly, rather overstating it.
  - chupapimunyenyo 3y ago
    Oh I hate those pseudo-smart replies like this. You clearly know when it's generating and the distinction between creating and making (composing) music. It's generating when you prompt the ai to do all the work for you. As simple as this, you don't touch the actual producing part yourself. If you commission a song to a producer to make for your game, you don't make the music. The producer makes it

csmpltn 3y ago
I agree that the quality isn't ideal, but I think this tool helps artists iterate much faster and cheaper. I wouldn't focus on the quality of the output, beyond the threshold which allows the artists to generate a reasonable idea of what they eventually want to make. Think about all the hard work that traditionally goes into composing a single title. Artists will spend days, weeks and sometimes months trying to iterate on ideas. Writing, composing, demoing, tracking and recording, mixing, etc. Think about all of the expensive software and hardware that goes into this process (instruments, microphones, studios, DAWs, VSTs, etc). It's an expensive and difficult process, it's very manual, very sequential. This could easily be used to speed up that iterative process. Just ask this software to generate 100 ideas for your next bridge, and iterate that way.

  Another piece of feedback which might save you server costs: On /create/ in custom mode, after tapping the Create button, I feel like I should be shown the progress in the Library to see the result processing. I am surely more likely to want to see the output after Create is tapped than to stay at that screen to create another immediately without see the previous result. When not in custom mode, the user sees the processing immediately. In custom, I will keep tapping Create for no good reason thinking that nothing happened. [0] Also, this is super fun to the point where I actually subscribed. Thanks for making this! [0] Currently the button changes label for 1 second, but that's not what I want to see. Before figuring it out, I wasted your my credits and your server costs by tapping Create unnecessarily.

This is impressive. One UI thing on iOS Safari: In custom generation at least, when you tap Create, the button does not change or disable.

It will allow more people to do a Monte Carlo search across a much broader spectrum. The mass will filter through this by popularity. And good people/artists will be able to learn faster, more and iterate faster over ideas. For everyone else who actually doesn't care that much, they will get similar content cheaper. After all there are so so many people watching normal TV daily with a ton of advertising or blindly radio which delivers the same top 50 list over and over.

    We won't know for sure until there's actual law or court decisions to reference, but until then, it's worth looking at something like the Monkey Selfie copyright dispute[1] for guidance. The article references a 2014 opinion from the United States Copyright Office > only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention ... Because copyright law is limited to 'original intellectual conceptions of the author', the [copyright] office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work. The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants The extension of this to AI would be saying basically that the copyright office simply wouldn't extend copyright of an AI created work to any party. In the case of one of these songs, though, if you wrote your own lyrics, you would still have the copyright to those lyrics, if not the full piece of music generated from them.

Care to elaborate?
- joduplessis 3y ago
  Music is a such a human thing, that getting an AI to create it, really kind of bastardises it.
  - FergusArgyll 3y ago
    I thought you meant "yuck" because the songs are all pretty generic and low-quality (very cool for AI though) but this... I mean I dunno I like some midjourney art more than a lot of "real" art
    - joduplessis 3y ago
      Ja, the tracks are quite average - but like I just commented in the thread above - maybe one day using art from AI would be like shopping from Amazon (instead of the local store down the road). Crazy times to say the least - impressive tech though.

    It's just another tool - synths are computer generated as well, so what does it matter whether a computer or human decides to push the button? At the end of the day it's humans that will use the tool and combine it how they see fit and it's humans that will decide whether it's any good or not ...
    - joduplessis 3y ago
      I totally agree with you actually - but the tooling here is for producing content, not for composing music (like your synth example). It's exactly the same as MidJourney - the target user is not the artist, but the regular user. I wouldn't be surprised in a couple of years we have terms similar to "buy local", but for content generated by AI - like "buy human".

What's the legal status of ToS clauses about restrictions on what you can do with the generated audio? I'd have thought that AI can't own copyright -- what does that say about one's ability to monetize (under the free tier, say) -- are those prohibitions enforceable? (I can make plenty of guesses myself, so I'm most interested in hearing informed replies with references rather than speculation.)

dwallin 3y ago
This is a contract violation, not a copyright issue. But if you share your audio with someone who isn’t party to this agreement, there is likely nothing stopping THEM from using it commercially.

Would really like something like this to generate infinite lofi to code to. I'm struggling to get this to not output vocals though - I've tried both instrumental and no vocals in the prompt.

Have you used custom lyrics? Just write nothing or [none]

This is really fun, just made a Christmas tune! https://app.suno.ai/song/cb52391f-01ed-4df2-85a3-4c78ec5c2dee https://app.suno.ai/song/cb52391f-01ed-4df2-85a3-4c78ec5c2de...

AI music generation sucks and I expect it to suck for a long time. It's hard to make good music. Even a fake band from a mocumentary show is infinitly better (Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Documentary Now) The Blue Jean Committee "Catalina Breeze" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrHCNo2I3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrHCNo2I3M

ShamelessC 3y ago
I don’t think your analogy to the band from Documentary Now (clearly music made by a very much real band, albeit satire) holds up as well as you think it does.
- labrador 3y ago
  I checked with my current favorite AI (Pi) and you are correct. I stand corrected but still stand by my point. I even prefer The Shaggs over the AI music I have heard. It has personality.

This is cool! How much does a single song of ~1 min cost/take to generate?

3ds 3y ago

This is nuts! If this advances as fast as AI image generators have, the music industry is going to be affected. This is a crazy tool for song writing inspiration for sure.

Damn... so song artists are out in <5 years !?

More tools to make the universal language is a good thing.

o0-0o 3y ago

Back when the music genome was started, and you let your stream play long enough, every single stream would eventually play Phil Collins. I would be the farm that eventually, every song output out of this to be the same. Oh, I love me some Phil Collins too. More tools to make the universal language is a good thing.

I think (A)I just made my favorite country pop Christmas song and I don't even listen to country. https://app.suno.ai/song/bb87faff-4dd2-4906-8970-a695cbeb49d1 https://app.suno.ai/song/bb87faff-4dd2-4906-8970-a695cbeb49d...

Am I using it wrong? Getting an error about the Suno being intended for generating original music with this prompt: "slow pop song with synth and plucky strings about being alone on the holidays"

JonathanFly 3y ago
If anyone else notices bugs like this, it'd be helpful to submit the prompt you tried here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1I6B1GyBSMV3apIaxJMvgZ19nHwFUzUFieCmOoL2s274/viewform?edit_requested=true https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1I6B1GyBSMV3apIaxJMvgZ19nHwF... I just added "slow pop song with synth and plucky strings about being alone on the holidays".

Sorry about that, we'll look into that one

I have been generating songs for days now ; it's really good at some things, especially metal and rap. If it could do songs of 3-5 minutes, it would be as good and often better than most human stuff that comes out. And it can do any language; in Dutch it often makes the singing Flemish or Brabant/Limburg for some reason. The Spanish rap is excellent and got some great results with industrial metal too. This is, at least for me, far more impressive than image generation. Once they have an API , i would just leave this running in the background to generate music while working.

JonathanFly 3y ago
>If it could do songs of 3-5 minutes, it would be as good and often better than most human stuff that comes out It can do any length technically, though it it's probably not going to be musically coherent. (18 minutes https://app.suno.ai/song/6f334b5c-c992-446b-8b46-2227c34e7300/ https://app.suno.ai/song/6f334b5c-c992-446b-8b46-2227c34e730...)

  Yes, I mean writing 1 prompt and having it just go on for > 3+ minutes.

Using Suno(custom) and ChatGPT [0] + editing - I just helped heal a lost friendship. I had no way to break the ice of our lost friensdhip for two years now. But this did it. I was finally able to communicate what happened and I finally got a response from him. I cannot describe how important this was for me. Thank you. I already subbed, but I would pay a lot of money to get the remainder of the song. Don't make me open Ableton. https://app.suno.ai/song/ac875bae-cbe1-4e64-87b4-3315bfe260ed/ https://app.suno.ai/song/ac875bae-cbe1-4e64-87b4-3315bfe260e... [0] GPT4 Turbo prompt (Barely edited response in lyrics): > please write a song about 2 friends whose egos have destroyed their friendship. > They met in the crazy after hours nightlife of Prague, became like brothers, then their stupid egos ruined everything.

Whoa! Did you guys just change the voicing that is singing in the link? Wait, did the track change entirely? Does this happen every so often? I don't get it. Why would it regen? Should I be saving audio and sharing it via GDrive or whatever at every interesting playback? I was replaying this track all night long. Then suddenly the linked song was different. This is not good UX. I shared it with my friend, which version will they hear? Each time I hit Create, it should make a unique waveform. Crappy from an ML pov, or not. This is all a matter of listener preference. Sometimes artifacts are cool. Each shared link should be a unique "printed" MP3 distributed via CDN, right? Or, am I being silly, and why? This also sounds so much cheaper as far as server costs, doesn't it? Last of all, I love this entire thing. If you have any room in hiring, I have spectral opinions and would love to be involved.
- mcamac 3y ago
  We do make 2 songs per create, so perhaps you could be looking at the other one? We don't regen/overwrite...

  One of the moderators seemed to be relatively argumentative for no reason, guessing they're sort of young

Mine just says, "A System Error Has Occurred" every time I try to generate a song.
