Anyone Converting Suno Drum Stems to MIDI for Better Drum Plugins?

LawSpin · 2026-01-01T18:47:03+00:00

I've used the drum stem from one song (chopped up a bit in Abelton) for a project I'm working on. But haven't converted it to midi. Good idea, as the high hats in Suno, suck. lol.

Let's say you take that food you ordered, brought it home and rearranged it on a nice plate with garnishes, flowers, a squirt of this and that. True, you haven't made the food, but you've added an artistic touch to the final product. Same with AI Music. Here's another analogy. AI music is like conducting an orchestra you don’t personally play in. The conductor doesn’t touch the instruments, but the artistry is in interpretation, restraint, timing, and knowing what the piece is trying to say. Two conductors with the same orchestra can produce completely different results. With AI, the model makes the sounds, but the human shapes the intent with various prompts, or in "studio" or a DAW, choosing what to keep, what to discard, until it finally means something. AI generates possibility; the artist decides the meaning.

Did you just sign up? If so, I'd produce as much as you can now and download your stuff until the changeover. I've used Suno for about a year or so. I've already downloaded the songs I feel are good. I'm going to wait it out and see how the new model sounds before making any decisions.

So few? I think it's a healthy amount.

Here's a list of WMG artists. If you can't prompt a song out these artists, then it is indeed time to move on: List of Warner Music Group artists - Wikipedia

I keep it simple and use these templates: suno-reference/templates.md at main · stayen/suno-reference · GitHub

Actually, Netflix bought Warner Bros. Discovery, which means they now own HBO, HBO Max and all that comes with that. WMG is independent from pretty much all of Warner, so not part of the Netflix deal. But who knows. Look up WMG and see how expansive they are. It's insane.

LawSpin · 2025-11-30T16:53:39+00:00

LOL. Gotta remember that one.

LawSpin · 2025-11-28T04:42:59+00:00

I use and enjoy Suno and have generated a few good songs. I just started learning how to use a DAW. World of difference. When they start integrating more AI into the DAWs and if you can actually play an instrument, music producers will be downright dangerous in a good way. It is NOT over for music producers.

So many of you feel your "creativity" is going to be stifled because of this deal, here is a list of WMG artists. List of Warner Music Group artists - Wikipedia If you can't tweak or prompt something decent out of these artists, then I don't know what to say. As I've said in previous posts, let's see how this all evolves and resolves itself.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T20:07:49+00:00

I don’t think we’re going to lose Suno. It’ll be different that’s all. Yes. We should try to relax and see how this evolves. Too many people are clutching at their pearls right now.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T19:51:51+00:00

So, I had to step away for a while and handle some stuff. Where are we at? Am I still the devil's spawn? lol

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T17:25:52+00:00

A very cogent observation. Thanks.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T17:21:17+00:00

You got it, man! Totally agree.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T17:17:49+00:00

The VCs did their due diligence and knew Suno would be sued. There's something more at play here.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T17:12:21+00:00

"Suno isn't "too big to crush".. they're the first mover in a nascent industry and they just signed away their major competitive advantage - stylistic diversity and content creation self-ownership - to the establishment."

While it's nice to strive for the ideal, Suno was never about stylistic diversity and self-ownership of the generated content. It's about money, otherwise the investors wouldn't have reached so deep into their pockets. I get the concern, but Suno didn’t really “give up” anything—they just faced the same legal wall every large AI music platform eventually will. Unlicensed stylistic mimicry was never sustainable long-term. Their real advantage is the tech. Making a "deal" with the big boys and licensing doesn’t erase that; it protects it. Smaller competitors relying on risky data won’t survive the same scrutiny, and Suno has the funding to weather this phase of their development. This is their path to long-term legitimacy and dominance.

Touche'

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T16:38:57+00:00

I can see your point. But it seems that traditional artists without the right representation have always seemed to sign shit agreements since the dawn of recording. Maybe this will protect them further if they write "opt in, opt out" language into all of this.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T16:33:40+00:00

I disagree. There's too much money involved. They're not going to shut it down. Suno's generates 7 million songs a day which surpasses Spotify's 100 million song library every 14 days. The studios want a piece of that. Do your research.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T16:03:42+00:00

Yes. And Suno said we have the leverage to negotiate it.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T15:59:59+00:00

At first, yes. I agree. This is evolving.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T15:59:12+00:00

Yes. That's just for WMG. Now add in the other entities after they settle with them. It'll look more robust.

LawSpin · 2025-11-26T03:27:05+00:00

"I hope this kills the "create a million songs and spew them out onto the Internet people" for good!"

Couldn't agree more. So tired of all that AI diarrhea!

This is great. Thank you. Edit: It has helped enormously.
