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.

> 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…

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.

It's not at all clear what this actually is. The "About" section says basically nothing. It would be nice to know that before having to create an account.

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.

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?

I guess it matters if/when it affects how much you’re enjoying the music or how you’re perceiving the author.

Had good fun generating some 8-bit Bollywood electronica. https://app.suno.ai/song/e5c4214b-5851-4ae8-876b-6a99f2ca878... https://app.suno.ai/song/0425b83a-2fa7-4944-9ed8-ba554bd42c3...

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…

General current limitation of generative audio where longer than 20-30 seconds gets really wonky

Use the 'continue from this clip' feature. Next, merge the newly generated segment with the existing one using the 'get whole song' feature.

Or just get creative, use the vocal remover to extend the background sound, cut and paste different parts of it using the good old DAW. By using this method, i managed to make several "full" songs :

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.

There are some click artifacts, but this came out pretty well:

> Icelandic choir dark electronica slow

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?

I don't think his personality was really that much of an outlier when his music first became popular, so I'd argue that empirically the answer is yes. From looking at Wikipedia, his first album was released in 2004 and charted at number 2, with his first single hitting 15 on the charts and his follow-up being number 1. I don't think you can argue that he was famous enough for anyone to be listening to the music because they knew who he was rather than because of the music itself.

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 :)
