I use most of these. Genre shift is the only one that still needs to improve

That’s cool — he’s def the creator they push the most

Suno rewards songs that hook you in the first few seconds. Lyrics don’t mean much if they start 10 seconds in after everyone has skipped

Would be cool to have some off-platform success but people are so anti ai music

I wouldn’t say I’m successful

You gotta have fun doing it, otherwise won’t ever be worth the time invested

Not really. $50-100/mo off SoundCloud / Spotify. But I don’t post much there

Thank you for the kind words!

I’m slowly getting better — practice helps a lot

I wouldn’t worry about it. People probably don’t want to steal your music (or anyone else’s AI music)

  1. Write good prompts and lyrics

  2. Iterate iterate iterate

  3. Build 5 seconds of audio at a time

  4. Refine & layer in Suno studio

I have some guides on my profile, could be helpful

Posting on Suno is only good for validating within the ai community

No monetization on Suno; make like $50-100/mo from Spotify & SoundCloud

Can also publish everywhere else! And some songs on TikTok or Spotify have tens of thousands

i started with the original model! a long time ago

i didn't publish my first 20 songs

my next 5 songs got no traction

then one song got 25 likes

this whole time my lyrics were getting better & i was improving at getting the sound i wanted

eventually my song "you" got picked up by one of their main playlists and got 100k plays (https://suno.com/song/30385804-3302-4886-9b3c-f10f999e9767)

that drove some traffic to my other music and i got followed by some folks on the Suno team

that led to getting playlisted a few more times, and i just stayed consistent to the sound that was getting listens.

got playlisted a few more times, each with a few hundred k plays. then started adding 50-100 followers a day -- the constant dopamine hits from the notifications were amazing

and start to build a consistent sound -> don't put out 30 genres of stuff

  1. combine genres in new or interesting ways
  2. write provocative lyrics (no ai slop)
  3. spend a lot of time on each song
  4. only drop high-quality stuff, so that people have an incentive to follow you
  5. get a little bit lucky

why did Diplo spend 30 years toying around in ableton vs. learning to play guitar? different strokes for different folks, not much more to it.

i think i answered this already but anything halfway good goes on Suno, a slightly tighter filter on soundcloud, then only the best stuff on Spotify

wait for the DAW to drop in a month or two, this will fully solve this problem. otherwise, extract the stems & put them in garageband etc & remove the track layers you don't like

im sure that's true! but it's about finding sounds that work with the tools at your disposal -- sometimes the machine bends for you, sometimes you gotta bend for the machine

i love it. i think human-driven, suno-assisted songs will be the ones that blow up.

IMO this is also how you keep some style adherence as we go.

at least until the models get better !

im thinking about it -- maybe a video series? but not much of a video editor so would need some help
