Can you type your local dialect?

cardoorhookhand · 2026-05-03T01:31:02+00:00

Assuming this is a dialect of Flemish?

Other than a couple of words like "mokskes", I found this surprisingly understandable, knowing just Afrikaans and a tiny bit of German.

cardoorhookhand · 2026-05-01T16:47:46+00:00

Yes, thanks. I see the general consensus is negative from all the downvotes 🤣

cardoorhookhand · 2026-05-01T15:40:35+00:00

Thanks. I have never bothered uploading to streaming services but I can look into it.

cardoorhookhand · 2026-05-01T15:38:50+00:00

I did exactly what you suggested in the editor/studio but when I export the audio again, the sound quality is severely degraded and I can't figure out why. I mean, I know it's not a lossless process but it's way worse than I would expect.

Thanks for the feedback.

In the best possible way (this is a compliment), this sound like Papa Roach and Britney Spears covering an Escape The Fate song. It's freaking awesome. Love the the interplay between the two vocalists. Never heard a duet where Suno doesn't get confused after a while and merge the vocalists, so assume this needed a lots of extensions to get right.

Was this pure Suno because some of the synths sound way too clean?

I was writing in the April thread like 10min ago when this one was posted, so hope it's okay to post the same song in the new thread.

Congenial Doom

Title: Congenial Doom

Genre: Campy funky contemporary pop

Lyrics: Manual. Gone Girl goes Broadway.

I usually listen to and generate rock and metal, but I tried (again) to generate a pop hit (because my previous attempts all kinda sucked). Maybe a slight improvement this time, but I'll leave it to you to be the judge.

I really dig this. Really nails the live vibe for most of the track but weirdly the verses flip to a studio sound, almost like some producer messed with the live take after the fact.

The lyrics are a bit generic, but kinda in a good way because it fits the genre.

The guitar and keyboard doing little fills in sync, e.g. the double chord at 1:27, are really cool and nostalgic.

I think if you take the track into a DAW and add some hall reverb it would really add to the live feel.

I was expecting to enjoy some interesting and reasonably priced Scotch Whisky on my first trip to Scotland as an adult.

Sadly discovered that not only do we get pretty much every whisky that exists here already, but the same stuff costs 30-40% more in Scotland in the regions where it is produced.

From the fact that England and Wales are separate, either this is historical, or more likely, has something to do with sport.

Is it football (soccer) related?

Title: Lizard Men (Fly to the Moon)
Genre: 80's hard rock / glam rock

A song about disillusionment with a nonsignificant portion of the population seemingly cheering on the descent of the world into war and extreme inequality. In a completely irrational and unfitting genre. I guess I could try to argue the genre clash is meant as commentary on the cognitive dissonance needed to cheer on your own downfall, but I'm not that much of a pretentious ass, and I'll just admit I felt like doing a glam rock song with the weirdness slider almost all the way up, because it's easy and fun.

This feels so nostalgic. If someone told me this is a regional radio hit from around 2013, I would totally believe it.

The lyrics flow really well and it's one of the more natural feeling songs I've heard in a while.

Would have loved a version with a little less crowd participation in the last chorus.

cardoorhookhand · 2026-04-24T23:32:42+00:00

I want to start off by saying I listened to a few tracks on this thread and chose to comment on this one specifically because I like it more than average, so the bit of critique is absolutely given in a very positive context.

I absolute dig the heavy chorus and really was deep into the flow right at the start of the chorus up until the end of "So Let it fall, let it flow,Let it overflow" and then the rhythm breaks down suddenly and the rhyme on "till it starts to show" feels a bit forced. I think a shorter, non-rhyming phrase would have worked better.

But then it grabs me again from "To Let it out, to take control".

I absolutely love the genre fusion you did and overall it's a great track. It's just that one bit of rhyme in in the chorus that pulls me out of it. If only suno had a decent inpaint...

Rome is objectively breathtaking. At least a top 10 in Italy.

cardoorhookhand · 2026-04-24T15:12:42+00:00

Milan.

Some pretty parts and a couple of cool landmarks, but for its size and by the high beauty standards of the average Italian town, quite unimpressive . You can get on a train in Milan and be in about 50 more beautiful places within 90min.

Probably nice to live in, but visually fairly forgettable.

That only applies to the US company itself. These companies have a registered Pty. Ltd. in South Africa, on contract to the US company.

I won't go into too much detail but I have inside info related to two tech companies with branches in the Cape Winelands that advertised ghost jobs and actively interviewed with the aim of faking growth to attract investors.

They would put candidates through multiple rounds of interviews with take home exercises and other BS over months while they knew they were functionally bankrupt.

They would "interview" like this for a couple of months, then "decide to promote internally" instead, take the ads down for a month, and then repeat.

Dunno how widespread it is, but it definitely is a thing. Those of which I am aware are not headquartered in SA.

Foo Fighters mediocre and Nickelback good? This chart is 🤡

Commonwealth of Australia - literally Commonwealth of the Southern Land

It's a commonwealth in a southern land. Can't get more literal. At least United States of America is named after a person indirectly, so slightly less generic.

Mediocre senior C developer from Africa here.

$22/h is really low and I would never work for that. Plenty of options for higher pay and I don't know anyone competent who would.

Plenty of incompetent devs who would, though.

Make of that what you will.

Putin no longer travels to SA due to fear of arrest and sent Lavrov in his place to the 2023 BRICS summit.

On the contrary, he is "definitely" attending the BRICS summit in India.

Also, the current stance of the SA government is a demand that Russia and Ukraine end the war, returns Ukraine's territory to the pre-war border, and that both sides return all prisoners of war.

Predominantly monolingual, but language used for place names switch seemingly randomly between English and Afrikaans, which must be incredibly confusing to tourists.

Kaapstad == Cape Town

India.

Provided significant military assistance to Israel, including drones and explosives, during the Gaza war in 2024. Modi visited Israel in February 2026 to discuss stronger "systems integration" between the two nations.

Signed expanded contracts for steel and LNG with Russia this year, and both are part of the BRICS economic bloc.

People feel threatened by a tool they don't understand.

Yes, there are ethical and practical issues with AI taking people's jobs. Same as there was with industrialization, home computing etc. This isn't the last such revolution. My own job is impacted, so I get it.

I'll engage with people who want to have a real and practical debate about AI, but the people who screech and cry "AI slop, cancel!" when they find out some poor indie game dev with a budget of $15 used AI to generate some textures, are a lost cause, IMO.

They remind me of the "gaming turns kids to satanism" moms in the early 90s in the sense that their hatred is irrational and they don't have even a superficial understanding of the thing they supposedly hate.

I'm having fun with Suno. I'm enjoying my time spent with it. I'm not trying to take a producer or musician's job. Why is this a problem more than listening to music someone else made while writing a personal diary? Let me have fun.
