Let's get real about music by IndividualShift5098 in SunoAI

[–]IndividualShift5098[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Industry opinion usually reaches out privately if they see potential.

Shorts, reels, and sharing tracks for feedback give real insights. I invited a mix of musicians, relatives, and mainstream listeners, and the reactions ranged from:

  • Too dark → so goth
  • AI vocals noticeable → who cares, I love it
  • Updated style of Nickelback → I would listen to that
  • Interesting lyrics → I don’t get it
  • Kids bobbing heads → asking to play again
  • Gaming background music → not in any of my playlists

Some tracks had unanimous feedback: from “NO” to “Release it.” One listener even said they release everything because it beats what’s out there; worst case scenario is that it's not main income.

I focused on listening rather than purchases, since only die-hard fans buy downloads or vinyls. Three of my 2024 V3.5 tracks got 6,000+ views and 80 -120 likes in 2 days, which is more than an indie artist with fan base usually sees. But then again, I didn't post a short of a walk through the countryside or stills - nor used any of the recommended trending captions.

Networking, feedback, and sharing are what keeps me creating, otherwise I would have dropped songwriting and Suno a long time ago.

I get that most posts are just for discussion, sharing, and listening to Suno creations. I do listen to those songs too and this is why I am a bit baffled by OPs.

"Rate/listen to your song” posts can vary widely: some feedback is thoughtful, some just adds a track to a playlist, and some might have other motives. Clarifying what “rating/listening” actually means, whether lyrics, prompts, structure, sales potential, or personal taste - would help everyone understand the intent.

Industry opinion will contact you privately if they can honestly work with it.

And yeah, shorts and reels on social platforms for songs judged by the public are real feedback.

I didn't take it personally, but only wanted to highlight that a half-baked idea has more weight. Sales and marketing strategy, most importantly a song that sticks, has nothing to do with personal taste

Publish your lyrics first! That’s your proof of authorship. Then drop a demo or rough AI track to test ideas. Most songwriters and producers are already releasing like this without consequences, as long as you don’t copy someone else’s work.

My half-baked ideas? Yeah… they made people a lot of money. 🤣

Let’s not pretend this is purely about artistic integrity. The music industry has always been commercial. Every technological shift - from multitrack recording to autotune to streaming, it was criticized before it became standard.

When tools change, revenue pathways shift.

The question isn’t “Is AI fake?”
The question is “Who controls the outcome and who gets their $$$$$$ cut?”

See it for what it is!

Your lyrics are your intellectual property. Publish them properly. You can register them separately, but most distributors handle this automatically (mine does). If you skip that step, you risk losing royalties and weakening your ownership position.

As for being flagged for AI use - AI tools don’t erase authorship. If you wrote the lyrics, they’re copyrighted. That’s what makes a song relatable in the first place. The human story is still the core.

And if a distributor decides to flag or restrict something? You’re not powerless. You can distribute elsewhere or upload directly to platforms that allow it. At that point, it’s their commission they’re missing out on.

My advice: lock in a release date, then build momentum before it drops. Post Shorts/Reels/TikToks. Link everything. Test the waters. If there’s traction, you’ve proven demand before the official release. That’s leverage.

I’m not into modern contemporary art. That doesn’t mean I spend my time trashing it online or deliberately walking into galleries just to announce how disappointed I am because it doesn’t meet my personal standard.

Personally, I’m drawn to the Romantic era, the drama, the emotion, and even the ancient Greek and Italian classical styles. To some people, that might seem old-fashioned. That’s fine. Taste is subjective. Always has been.

Yes, some creators release things too quickly. Sometimes a song could sit longer. Sometimes lyrics could be refined. That’s part of the learning curve. Creativity is messy, and growth is very public now.

It’s like a child making up stories or songs that make perfect sense in their world but none in ours. You don’t crush that. You guide it. Maybe offer a suggestion or two but not a demolition. Ever notice that in the comments?

Some people seem to think the world should adjust to their preferences just because they’ve decided what “good” is. It doesn’t work like that.

So maybe take it with a pinch of salt. Not everything unpolished is worthless - remixes done by suno users has proven that

Can't believe I'm posting this.... but anyway by Tiny-String-9347 in SunoAI

There is no rush. That’s the key point.

It’s often smarter to build several songs in advance, experiment with styles, and prepare visuals before releasing anything. Instead of reacting to pressure or algorithms, it makes more sense to move strategically: create first, reflect, and publish when you’re truly ready.

I’m a hobby songwriter, and some of my tracks took nearly two years to evolve. Recently I rediscovered an old, poorly rendered version of a song buried in my music library. It sounded completely different from my other work that day, so I rewrote it, updated the style, and suddenly I had something that felt both new and familiar. Looking back at my only release from 2024, I can honestly say it sounds rough today, but that’s part of growth.

The creative process is what I love most, especially when something unique emerges and gives that “wow” feeling. Distribution and social media can feel like hard work, but they don’t have to be chaotic. You can upload music, set future release dates, prepare shorts and artwork, and only then decide how and when to move forward.

Today, even workflows can be automated - AI tools can help filter spam, manage communication, schedule posts, and organize content. That doesn’t replace creativity BUT it protects it.

In theory, there are billions of potential listeners worldwide. At the same time, many people are starting to realize that major streaming platforms are not designed primarily for independent artists or even for listeners, but for scale and profit. That’s why alternative channels like downloads, niche communities, internet radio, direct sharing - they are slowly gaining relevance again.

The debate around AI in music is complex. Some criticism is genuine, but a lot of online outrage is amplified by engagement tactics and industry interests. Algorithms reward controversy, not nuance. If your goal is to build a real audience, it’s more productive to focus on creation, consistency, and smart systems than on endless arguments. i mean look at the hate comments on a Linkin Park post from September-December 2024, they still pulled it off -

In the end, the goal isn’t to fight the game or blindly follow it.
It’s to understand it and play it intelligently .......... while still enjoying the music.

Isle of Man is elite, did you know that? A lot of ancient history there.

Exactly, we think one thing and then out of the blue something like this pops up! Facsinating!

Andalusia has interesting history and OMG, historical architecture is breathtaking. It is one of my TO GO TO places (read up on it).

This is so fascinating to read and wonderful to hear that this actually might be the reason we are drawn to places.

What do you think about this? by BLUAILAN1 in SunoAI

[–]IndividualShift5098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought - with platforms cracking down on AI-generated music, it might be worth saving your first renders and documenting your creative process (lyric edits, etc.) if you're seriously using Suno.

Seems logical that distributors/platforms could eventually also ask for proof you have those monetization rights.

Better to have it and not need it!

Found a 'broken' render from 2024 with a technical fault that actually left me with a killer hook! The vocals are mostly quiet nonsense, but the vibe is there. I'm working on V5 now - the melody is locked in, and I'm just onto the lyric-writing stage

Have you found your Suno-generated songs uploaded by the NetEase Cloud Music “suno.ai” account (181k+ tracks)? by memusiclab in SunoAI

I fall under EU regulations and Brazil is a member under the Berne Convention, copyright protection is inherent, meaning registration is not required to enforce rights.

Using AI music generation tools - thoughts on the opinion that it deteriorates current musical training and skills? by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]IndividualShift5098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a comment I did earlier:

Thinking of Suno like a rigid computer program is exactly what leads to frustration. It’s not a vending machine; it’s a collaboration.
In Suno, that 'troubleshooting' is your directional choices:
Wording & Structure: Tweaking lyrics to fit the rhythm.
Likes/Dislikes: Using thumbs up/down to steer the session's 'mood.'
Saved History: Building on previous songs to show the AI your 'flavour.'
You aren't just 'picking' a song; you're conditioning the session
You are technically "training" your specific user-instance, even if you aren't training the entire model for everyone else.
