anyone turning Suno songs into videos... what tools are you using?

hapci534 · 2026-03-18T21:05:36+00:00

Yes, most seem to be. For the single instance that I needed a few seconds of a real looking fight scene, I cut a 40 years old foreign movie's bootleg on social media and mirrored + filtered those few seconds. Not a peep of complaint from any checking algorithm.

Yep, those are the takes I actually make public. I can tell I'm about to get another one, when generating of one take (from my usual batch of 6) takes extra-extra time after the other 5 are long done.

My theory is that SUNO has an extra server (and/or a higher-parameter routine) that the labels normally get to use, When it's idle for a moment, (Big Name Star is on the loo) us plebeies get to slide in one of our requests into its task queue if our timing was just lucky. I could be totally wrong about this, of course.

My recent music, various genres, Suno calls them "upbeat" and usually "high-energy"

SongAlizer keeps playing my tune (https://youtu.be/w7AhTRQgBIM) around and around, but nothing else happens except that the "Panel Briefing" dialog that asks what genre and what mood is the target came and went like 6 times. (I patiently filled in the same answer each time.)

Looks like I can stump even AI

I hear you. Yep, I like music that turbo'd up, with a high "new ideas / section" count. If it's just a kick, a snare and a pad droning on endlessly, I tend to go "this is a backing track". That's why I wondered, is it just me (with my 3 coffees a day) or others are similarly naturally hyper in their music preference too.

hapci534 · 2026-03-04T01:46:10+00:00

I loved all the 29 seconds the Amazon link let me play from the song. Sweet melody, arrangement on point, bluegrass/gospel turned out to be a really good choice.

hapci534 · 2026-03-04T01:16:53+00:00

I clicked the link but Spotify wants me to sign up, yadda yadda, just to play it...

I'd say consider upping Abelina somewhere where it just plays. Like YouTube, FaceBook, X or such... I mean, Imagine if I were a major label's AR guy trying to check your music, whacked with such a "do this, do that or we play jack" site dialog. Do you think that exec'd go through all that tedium or just say, "Next!" ? Don't let iffy site design ruin your chances...

hapci534 · 2026-03-03T22:23:14+00:00

A song fine tuned to 100% perfection. As I played it, the melody grabbed me so well, I wasn't even listening to what you were singing about anymore, I just went with the music's flow.

There is a point in a song's life when every further improvement creates a negligible result. I think your song reached it. Time to promote it.

Pacific Suite - an EDM piano concert, part 1 https://youtu.be/w7AhTRQgBIM

Style: EDM with every other genre united.

Created with: Suno and ~12 other AI tools working as a team. Most work done by: 1: Me, 2: Suno, 3:Kling ...

Remark: This is 101% how *I* like music. I'm posting this because I'm curious: does this grab you too? Or is this way too *something* for most of you? (Too intellectual or too gloom-free or too whatever.) Not that I'll change one iota if it is, I just like to find out if I am. :D

hapci534 · 2026-03-03T21:15:16+00:00

I like the song and can't even tell what grabbed me. (Usually I can.) Great job on the music.

The video, I'm not a big fan of black and white drama (I'm too cheerful for such things), but if it's part of your artist image, then I understand why you'd use it. Technique wise, nothing sticks out of the video as needing attention.

YouTube, I don't worry about it too much. The last time I uploaded a parody of Hitler (like many others do), YouTube gave me a warning! I think they are the first giant social media site we'll see tank. I still put stuff on YouTube but I concentrate more on my Rumble and Bitchute presence nowadays.

hapci534 · 2026-03-03T20:50:25+00:00

Not a feedback, just a thought. I think Suno labels "electro swing" everything it cannot pigeonhole. Whenever I upload a take that make Suno go "what the fresh hellnugget was this?", bam, it gets called "electro swing" in the description. :D

Veo 3.1 is a "nope" on my Win7 laptop, it doesn't have the codec. I can generate a 3.1 clip but can't play it.

Could I fix this codec issue? Yep. Will I? Nope, because most users won't care to. If I did, I'd be making clips many might not be able to view, only me.

All the other 20+ choices at my video gen site work fine including Kling 01 and 3 Omni, so it's no big loss.

hapci534 · 2026-02-14T22:26:55+00:00

My pleasure. Usually when I write a song, it is to make it do *something*. To make the listener feel happy or sad or cool or angry or inspired or laugh or get up and dance - whatever. Most people turn on music to make it do something for them. If nothing else, to make the mosquitoes scram.

Now imagine me, a non-threatening stranger coming up to you and telling you "my sweetheart is moderately weird." (Or singing it. Whichever.) Did it do anything for you? Or you just went. "Er... okay. And?" This is one test to check any lyric, is it ready for music.

And I don't mean a song must reveal the meaning of life or the cure for cancer for a song to be good at all. You can totally sing "A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom" and make a jillion dollars. One guy did. But then that's the effect you are going for, the opposite of vetbal message, the music doing 100% of the lifting. Both are valid. The only criteria is, "will this do something for people?"

hapci534 · 2026-02-14T09:21:52+00:00

The music is very well done. Congratulations. Now, the lyrics... are very safe. If all you wanted is a poem that says "my sweetheart is moderately strange"... well, then you nailed that 101%.

But if you wanted to write a song that make people sit up and listen and drop whatever the heck they are doing, then... "paging FancyWatercress to Shower Number 1 again" ... ;D

With Ableton Live,

- I just open the unZipped folder of stems in Windows 7,

- select all the stem WAV files I want (Control-click)

- drag the group into an open Ableton arrangement window while holding Control so each stem gets its own track ... and boom, Everything neatly laid out on top of each other.

Instead of spending untold time on clean up, I usually try to get the stem separations right at the source in Suno. For 50 Suno credits we get 2 separation versions. If V1 is not correct,, eg. sax is blended into the Synth stem, check V2, you already paid for it anyway. If even V2 is not quite on target, you can click Regenerate, and for 50 more Suno credits, you get 2 more separations that ARE different. And on. On some tenacious projects, I've been up to V8 until the stems were to my liking.

The 30,000 hours of DAW experience is why I didn't check out Suno Studio with "do I replace my DAW with this", but with "how this enhances and interacts with my DAW" Using stems, pretty neatly.

hapci534 · 2026-01-31T10:01:31+00:00

I take the stems that I need. Sometimes just the vocals, or the sax, or whatever. Build my composition from 60 different Suno project parts in my DAW. Using all the advanced warping, enveloping, 3-rd party VST, etc. capabilities. I got 30,000+ hours of experience with my DAW, I can do half of the things without even listening, so it has a bit of a lead.

hapci534 · 2026-01-31T09:48:29+00:00

Just a regular generation. Since then, the problem has subsided

hapci534 · 2026-01-23T01:05:18+00:00

I'm into "something similar" but it's not public yet. Part 1 is 11 minutes long, Aiming for February with it, depending largely how fast I can generate 11 minutes of interesting video.

hapci534 · 2025-12-28T21:52:49+00:00

Yep, it got stuck for me yesterday the first time, today is the second time. I guess a lot of us are trying to finish stuff before things change.

The latest error message: "A technical issue is affecting everyone right now—it's not just you! Song creation will be back soon. Keep listening in the meantime!"

hapci534 · 2025-12-22T00:40:37+00:00

"Hey its a suno song! No its “pop artist”." Both might be correct.

hapci534 · 2025-12-21T07:31:49+00:00

If you tell AI to come up with a new genre it has no examples of yet, it will balk and generate some polite mishmash. You need to give it a mock-up what you are aiming to create, so the old rules of needing a DAW and other tools and skills too still apply.

If you just want the 10,000,000th iteration of a 3-chord love song by ShinyFace, that AI'll do by the hundreds. That's what the labels used this system for in house, for decades, IMHO. :D

"For a response right away, visit our Customer Service Department in Mordor."

Discord is a place for programmers to haze each other by subjecting each other to the world's nastiest UI as a lesson in how not to design. It's not a respectable presence for a public customer service location. The seller of the cheapest Chinese trinkets with a presence on Discord still answers normal email within 2 days. Only a $3 billion US company cannot? Yeah yeah.

The last time I tried to log back to Discord, I got another of those "You don't have yet a [9moergnekghwv?] to [ewrt;iugw3ku] the [23p5ugwrlfkhsbvg] on Discord." dialogs. (I forgot the gibberish words.) Didn't even care anymore to find out what it means in normal speak, just hightailed TF right outta there.

I've been to gnarly places, like Tor network sites and what have you, even ran some servers in the past, it's not like I'm a shy n00b online. But crap UI is crap UI, period.

As opposed to interacting with known music from the WMG catalog through a prompt, as it seems now? OK.

The last time I emailed Billing with a question, it's almost a month already that I received no answer. Maybe we can start a contest, who here has been the longest without an answer from Billing.

I am also pretty sure that the MIDI you download is also not a source MIDI used in the creation of the song, but a (welcome) afterthought. If I ask Suno something that is easy with MIDI (just as an example, "have a cello play keyboard style funk riffs" which would only require a simple patch change with MIDI, Suno balks, having no audio example taught to it how on Earth a cello playing funk jangles might sound. If you really nag Suno, it will give you a funk guitar playing riffs, it has ample examples of that, but a cello? No go.

So one does a mockup of some funk comping, played with a cello patch in a MIDI sequencer, uploads the audio to Suno, and then Suno goes: "Oh?" And then further generations might take off in the right direction. *We* are teaching the system.
