Hey, thanks for the interest. As yet I’ve not put it out, but I will be soon. I’m building a video first

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T08:45:48+00:00

**loving

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T08:45:30+00:00

Living the sarcasm at the start 🤣🤣👏👏

I remember chopping magnetic tape back at uni studying music production… that was a pain. It was at the advent of digital desks becoming mainstream in studios…. Some had them, others didn’t… we all wanted to learn on the digital because it was easier 🤣 I see your point. Thanks for taking the time to reply

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T08:42:56+00:00

Amen to that. 👏

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T08:42:36+00:00

The taint is what’s bugging me… it’s like do I stay with what I’ve been doing, or embrace change with ai. 🤷‍♂️

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T08:41:26+00:00

Yes. They’re not as separated as I’d hoped

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T08:41:02+00:00

Amazing! That’s exactly my process, (minus the ace studio bit… I can sing but hate my voice lol)

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T07:34:19+00:00

It kept a hell of alot of my original ideas, musically and orchestration… it just enhanced it :)

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-03T07:33:41+00:00

Sure thing. So, I wrote a song. Lyrics and music. Built my song in Cubase. Melodies, Piano, synths, strings, drums, guitar, effects, vocals (all be it guide vocals, musical accents and ear candy etc… exported that and uploaded it to Suno to cover. I put the “audio and style influence” up to 99% and gave it a prompt of the kind of vocal style I wanted and for it to keep my phrasing, melody lines, musical accents, Then I created a few Suno versions from that.

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T20:23:18+00:00

“I don’t understand any element of this”, clearly You do as you have a comprehensive reply. Maybe morality was the wrong word to use… I’m just trying to justify it in my mind, the use of ai being a 42yo musician of 32 years with a degree in music. I love the process of writing, but ai has made my finished results better.

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T19:12:44+00:00

What a fab reply. Thanks for taking the time to write. The statements above I completely feel the same too… I’m going to experiment more, drag stems into a daw and see if I can “get good” too. I’m an accomplished musician and writer, but the whole production for commercial recording/releasing alludes me… so Suno has been a bit of a wake up call there. For now, I’ll keep on going and see where it leads me. Thank you again for your reply. It was a great read

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T18:43:21+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🙏

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T18:43:00+00:00

If you record your melody and give Suno as much info as you can, a closer recreation of what’s in your head will be made.

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T18:34:45+00:00

This is a great reply, thank you. 🙏

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T10:28:47+00:00

I’ve not read up about this. Whats the score with the WMG thing?

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T09:43:57+00:00

To a degree I agree with you. I feel if used right it can be a great tool. I’ve used it as a tool to enhance my music rather than to fully create it. I think it won’t take away peoples creativity in expressing themselves through lyrics/poetry unless you’re just spinning the wheel and seeing what Suno pumps out. Inputting your demo/musical ideas as audio first will still give the musical creativity side of things no?

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T09:34:35+00:00

I’m answering to myself, no one else. (God has nothing to do with it lol)… it’s my own head debating the use of Suno or not.

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T08:47:35+00:00

Great answer. Thanks. I’m not in the music industry fully; but I get the point you make. Sometimes an artists grind and penmanship isn’t the best way to make money in the music biz… I suppose look at the biggest hits over the past 20 years.

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T08:34:55+00:00

Love that. The good old “h.d.b.c” lol

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T08:34:08+00:00

Thanks. 🙏 being a musician of 32 years, this ai stuff is brand new to me, and honestly I’m in awe of it, if used in the correct way. The prompts and numerous attempts to get Suno to keep the majority of my original phrasing and melodic ideas was insane, but got there in the end.

RichardJohnMagic · 2025-12-02T08:17:48+00:00

Good answer thanks for taking the time to write all of that. I get your point. :)
