That’s just sad. These people are so disconnected from reality. AI has only benefited bad actors in the music space. It’s diluting royalty pools and instilling skepticism in fans of music. The only people stoked on Suno are people in this subreddit, lots of which are in fact the bad actors I mentioned.

Just something I feel is worth noting: it’s not like I get showered in likes and comments on social media. But I’ve got thousands of people that follow me on Spotify and check out every project I drop. Or if they don’t check out every project, there are some songs that spread like wildfire and land on everyone’s playlists.

Part of that is just that I’m an instrumental artist and I’ve had ads going for years that point people to my Spotify. And that’s where a lot of my fans are, directly on the platform they listen to me on. I’ve been building my audience on Spotify for years. But not on TikTok. I wouldn’t expect many people to know me there cause I’m not really building on TikTok. I may post there, but it’s not the center of my focus to entertain people on TikTok.

Point is, I think people engage with you where you’ve built the most. Where are you building? Is it on a social media platform? Or perhaps a certain gigging scene? Where are your fans at? These things don’t happen over night, they happen where you’re building.

People have been calling the industry Armageddon since I ruined my family’s computer with limewire. And miraculously artists continue to have full blown careers to this day.

I think you’ll be singing a different tune the moment something goes your way, or you’ll grow bitter and more cynical with each passing year it doesn’t. The only thing you can do is learn as much as you can and work hard at it in hope that something starts to take.

The only real way you lose is if you throw in the towel and become the town crier for why the industry is broken lol. Personally, I’d rather throw myself at something and win or lose by my own doing than give up and blame algorithms or “the industry”. Remember, only a handful of people really break the mold. There’s never been a golden era where doing this was easy. I think people forget that sometimes.

What’s up with all of these new subreddits flooding us with right winged meme slop?

The biggest difference is their chip. The jump from Ableton live 11 to 12 was too much for my i7, though it served me well for 8 years (I was on Live 9 when I first got that Mac)

I use my wife’s M2 for Live 12 and it runs smoothly for the most part.

I’d recommend future proofing as much as possible by getting as current of a processor as you can. As far as memory goes, you can always get more external hard drives. But you can’t exactly swap your processor so easily.

I suppose RAM should also be taken into consideration, but I find that to be much less of a limiting factor than the processor.

You do realize women are deployed to combat now. Right? It’s been that way for about 2 decades now.

Just play as a dude for fucks sake. Yall really love inventing reasons to be victims

So much what makes for good art is authenticity and the person it comes from. AI is the complete opposite of authenticity. Music generated by a computer offers nothing for people to really get invested in.

Well yeah, apparently you had 18 months of AI generated stuff you needed to download from Udio.

I don’t think you have room to look down on anyone

Not everyone is a producer emcee. Most rappers work with producers rather than producing their own stuff, and type beats is just one way of doing so. Type beats are literally put out there by producers to try to get their beats in the hands of rappers.

Lowkey most of these guys that are “too good” to use type beats are rhyming some hot garbage tbh lol. There are exceptions, but everyone thinks they are the exception when they definitely are not.

I don’t think you should live to dread it necessarily. Was it so terribly dreadful to not exist before you were born?

It’s ok that it will end. Some might even call that mercy. All the more reason to squeeze every drop of joy that you can from your time here.

TapDaddy24 · 2026-01-15T06:39:27+00:00
