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

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.

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.

Are you making music, or generating music?

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?

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.

Has this been made by subcontinent people? "Suno" in Hindi/Urdu means "Listen!"

We’re US based but come from pretty much across the globe and my wife is Punjabi, so yeah that’s the origin of the name :)

Really impressed with this site! I used it to generate several plausible/catchy songs in German for a pizza Christmas party I'm having tomorrow.

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 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.

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 m…

Do you think people would listen to Kanye if it wasn't Kanye?

It’s not about that. It’s more if ye uses ai to make music it’s still ye making the music.

Ye is actually an endorsement of this because he’s absolutely a creative director more than a skill based musician. His best works are from leading others to greatness and building situations for that rather than skill in strumming a guitar or whatever

What a distasteful comment. Please be more considerate.

There’s no honour among thieves.

First, I'm no musician and have no desire to be one.

Second, every musician on earth right now are "thieves" for they stole what they heard, reprocessed it, repackaged it and output their "own" :)
