Despite all its worth, Suno doesn't approach the problem well.
After a few laughs and cheap replicas, people realize that it's damn hard to produce a good sounding, creative piece. Suno almost always adds noise and you can feel most of this is coming from fingerprinting.
With Suno and Udio, you lose control. You can generate starters and helpers but sooner or later, you want real control. That's not editing a section and having a conditioned piece of garbage seemingly fitting to the rest. No, control means completely changing progressions, sudden but calculated change of beats, removing any instrument for the shortest time and putting it back with razor-sharp studio detail.
I know a few of these are already addressable, you can take the output, separate into channels (if it's simple enough), quantize, edit and have a good one. Yet, you're not really supported anymore. What should have been was these other core music production software to get cheaper and/or far more effective.
Suno and Udio is a top-down approach. Maybe one day Logic Pro, Ableton, Melodyne etc. will fill in the details up to this point, coming from the ground up with AI, I don't know. We're not there yet and it just brings down the mask of mainstream music industry with its all-repeating shallow beats marketed to hell. Hearing mainstream was awful but it suddenly got even more awful.

- blargey 2y agoI don’t believe any of these companies are seriously trying to create a tool for musicians/artists. When they say they’re catering to “artists”, they want to say that you can become an artist by promoting their models for the small fee of X.99/mo. Their goal is to train a model of the well-trodden one-shot text<->art form, and just sell prompting access directly to the mass market consumer audience. Way less work, way bigger market (and less discerning, too)
