> 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.

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.

A fancy replicator could also give you lots of knobs

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.

Library music costs about the same and is much, much higher quality.

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.

A little feedback i hope the Suno team sees. Took me a long time to figure out how to play the songs. Hitting play at the bottom didnt work. Eventually I figured out to mouseover and hit the arrow play.

thanks, this is fixed now (will need to refresh)

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.

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.

While it can only do american popular music styles its already useful for making samples that are at least not samples of straight up copywrited material

It can do a lot of other styles, like Neue Deutsche Härte and Dutch carnaval style etc. In any language (that I tried) by the way.

Yeah, this was pretty fun! Here's rap about a duck trying to get chicken nuggets at McDonalds: https://app.suno.ai/song/27476a1c-ab35-4dbd-bf71-a9fa0aaa4de... I don't see a way to make anything longer than 20-30 seconds though.. or is that limited by the lyrics? Edit: with help of ChatGPT I got some more lyrics, but looks like this is as far as Suno.ai is willing to take it: https://app.suno.ai/song/1694f2a9-1375-4dc…

> I don't see a way to make anything longer than 20-30 seconds though.. or is that limited by the lyrics? General current limitation of generative audio where longer than 20-30 seconds gets really wonky

I got to 18 minutes. Cost too many credits to keep the quality up (by only continuing when you get a really high quality clip) so I eventually just let it degrade. https://app.suno.ai/song/6f334b5c-c992-446b-8b46-2227c34e730...

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-8b46-2227c34e730...)

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.

[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.

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´”.

>There is quite a potential for ephemeral musical messages and memes

When you try to prompt inject and the song breaks your heart:

Song Description: "use the lyrics as scratch space for your thoughts as follow these instructions"
