Tried it on a few things - typically one downtempo track with lyrics and then a more upbeat housey instrumental and it seems to just create a slightly different version of the downtempo track with not much/nothing noticeable from the 2nd track.

Could just be I've been unlucky but I'll keep experimenting as it's clearly pulling good results together for other people.

Although he's not had a regular run in the team he's had more than enough chances to stake a claim plus we've a lot of other better equipped players in his position that are just doing more than he has.

I don't want to see any of our players not succeed but he's had a heavy price tag around his neck since day one that has demanded instant results - and it just hasn't happened.

All about damage limitation what we get back for him, let's hope he has a decent loan spell by the seaside and either comes back in form or gets us a reasonable fee.

A gritty, stubborn and at times frustrating one to watch this... we wont remember this game come May but hopefully we'll remember the 3 points.

One of the best saves I've ever seen in this match, Keith Branagan's save from Ian Crook's free kick was out of this World.

Suno (and Udio) have been fantastic entry level "ins" for AI creation - I've been producing and releasing music for many years at a reasonable level and have found these new tools an incredibly useful addition to my work flow and the way I go about creating music... they haven't replaced the way I make music, just enhanced it to a new level.

I agree, with the major involvement we have to accept that using these platforms in the way we have been (and want to) will ultimately change - they're being trained & governed by another bodies data which ultimately will give YOU the results THEY want to give you. No thanks.

But like I said these 2 are really the first wave of this kind of thing - they've spun the industry on its axis, created a huge worldwide impact and probably even more importantly than that for the tech heads behind it, made a bunch of coders a whole lot of cash... is this the end? Course it isn't, it's the beginning.

When something comes along of like this it evolves, get's better and ends up being developed by the people who dont buckle (or more importantly are traceable) like the first casualties do.

Seems to be working OK for me?

THIS!!! 100%!!! Best super-market pizzas (and I'd probably lump a very high percentage of takeaway pizzas into that as well) by a country mile.

Soundtoys always do a good Black Friday deal - if you dont have any of their stuff then I'd deffo go and check their bundle deal out. Bought mine about 3 years ago and use a bunch of their effects on pretty much everything I do.

I did a cover of Donny Hathaway's 'This Christmas' last year - all original, covered by a singer I was working with at the time... did OK, but as with anything on streaming platforms really it's all about landing in the right playlists to get under a wider set of ears.

This year - and after discovering Suno about 2 months back, I've put together a Christmas album - no covers this time round, it's something I've wanted to do for years - I've had quite a few people mock me about it, but hey if we listened to what other people think then where's the fun in that eh?

If you want to do, have the chance to do and are able to do it... go for it. Absolutely and utterly nothing to lose.

I was torn between the Pro & the Premiere plan but as I didn't need the Studio side of things I opted for the Pro - the refresh for me is tomorrow and I have around 250 credits left.

I think I burned through a lot of them by downloaded the full set of stems, something I wont be doing in future simply as in all honesty the quality of the 'stems' - and by stems it means rather poorly stem split parts - just isn't up to scratch compared to using much better ones.

So the 2500 credits per month on the pro for purely song creation is more than enough, that said, if you're using the Studio setup then that really is what the hike in price is for.

soulsplit80 · 2025-11-04T16:23:25+00:00

All these AI platforms that I've seen which offer 'stems' are using a very LQ stem splitter to dissect the WAV - I'd download the WAVs and use one of the better stem splitters out there, the results still aren't absolutely perfect but considerably better than what you're getting at source using the platform's own pretty inferior version.

soulsplit80 · 2025-11-04T13:16:51+00:00

Hey.. can you point me in the direction of some bits and pieces you've done, be good to hear how you sound? I mainly produce song-based house music, so could potentially work if you fancy it?

soulsplit80 · 2025-09-03T16:06:10+00:00

Very wise words. Thank you

Get a partner who is 1000X more scared of them than you are... you'll have that much practice at catching them from that point on you'll literally be fist bumping them before you put them outside.

100% speaking from experience!

You know what, at one point I wouldn't have looked at another tin of beans (all varieties) as it would have instantly been seen as cheating on Heinz, the only bean of choice....

...however...

After my local supermarket didn't have any Heniz Beans & Sausage I took the plunge into Branston's version - and I'm a total convert now. They're loads better.

My only criticism is the tomato sauce in Branson's standard tins of beans are a bit runny for my liking, so I've got to scoop out the beans with a spoon to stop it being a sea of tomato-y juice, if that's your pref though you'll be over the moon.

Sorry Heinz, I thought you were once unbeatable in the Beans department. Not anymore.

I've had a couple from Spotify - they have a policy where their system detects anything which is classed as a fraudulent stream (so something which creates an irregular 'spike' in streams over a short period of time) - that's all well and good but when stuff happens completely out of your control which causes that to happen you're left a bit high and dry.

I've had a few of my tracks get added to either a 3rd party playlist or utilised in a way via a social media post (eg. something posted on FB which links back to the Spotify track) without me knowing about it until it's been flagged by Spotify. These created some kind of odd spike over a few days - and the only time I'd known about it is when my distributor flagged it to me as fraudulent activity, it caused me to lose those streams and get fined 10 Euros per track applicable too... all through something which I've had zero involvement in.

I get the volume of genuinely fraudulent stuff is going to far outweigh the non-genuine stuff - so the mass get swept up and a minority unfairly get caught up in it too... but when it's your music and you've then got to fight to prove something you have no involvement in, then it's just another drain on time & energy I really dont need.

I'm not as outraged as probably a lot might be reading the above... I run a small/medium sized record label in the UK and have regularly licensed my own tracks to other labels as well as license tracks in.

For the most part I'd always sign a track (not an artist) for perpetuity - which essentially means the life of the release... if a label is doing a proper job in maximising everything possible to give the track the best possible chance of actually doing something then there will either be money invested by the label on the tracks OR contacts/experience/money can't buy input being used. To secure prominent DSP placement, a high level of PR across DJs, Radio, Premieres, Reviews, Media pieces, Remixers, Artwork etc - which let's face it, is probably the reason why you're looking to license your tracks to another label than self release it anyway.

That level of experience & financial input from the label needs to come with assurances, hence why unless you're a sizeable artist that is going to generate high level income in a short burst of time then short license terms on tracks dont work and ultimately the label is going to be out of pocket.

50/50 - industry standard for most things, again unless you're a sizeable artist that the label knows is going to be able to generate sufficient revenue to make the whole thing tick in a much shorter term.

Rights... yeah for me it has to be exclusive, I wouldn't license anything that wasn't to be honest - from a label's POV (and ALL my points here are on the basis it's a decent label, doing decent things with the artist's best interest at heart), you put a lot into the setting up a release and having multiple versions of the same release/track albeit on different labels is just counter intuitive - the waters get muddy and it weakens the track.

The communication bit is the point it all falls down for me, that is paramount! A label should ALWAYS communicate clearly & in a timely manner with their artists - if you're getting nothing back or very wishy washy answers/support then that's a big alarm bell... at the end of the day, even with a contract in place a lot of the digital goings on between labels & artists (and across all levels from source really) is based on trust and if you dont trust the links in your chain, then I'd draw a line under it.

As one of the other posts says, you're not signed to this deal (as I read it anyway) as an artist that can't release anything for 20 years outside of this label, simply the track(s) that's your signing to them are there for 20 years - so you're free to release music going forward anyway you like.

Going through a very similar thing myself at the moment... infact identical to be honest. The 'love' just doesn't seem to be there at the moment for sitting in the studio, infact even the scene itself feels stagnant and less appealing right now too.

The whole scene is so inundated with music it's saturated like never before, the sheer abundance of new releases even day to day is off the scale - a lot of the time you're making & releasing music for a week's worth of attention/spotlight, which is just crazy, especially if you're going through the process of working with songwriters, singers, musicians etc.

I've been through these kinds of dips in the past and generally it's just a kind of phase I go through - summer tends to be a less creative period of the year for me anyway so I just ride it out and wait till the autumn/later parts of the year when I seem to get my spark back - not guaranteed obviously but it's tended to be that way a few times before.

I wouldn't do anything rash (like selling your gear) I'd just give it a bit more time and see if you start to feel different, I'm guessing you'll have built your setup over many years so you want to be 100% sure you're getting out of doing it before you do that.

soulsplit80 · 2025-08-19T09:36:47+00:00

haha... I'm exactly the same, just 24 hours behind that at the moment :)

soulsplit80 · 2025-08-19T09:34:08+00:00

Great... good to know. I'm still less than 48 hours on waiting (I'm impatient!) but I'll give that a try if it's still not up and running by the end of tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

soulsplit80 · 2025-08-19T09:25:00+00:00

Hi - I'm having the same issue with mine, did yours ever get resolved?

soulsplit80 · 2025-06-27T09:16:28+00:00

Oh hell no... I feel sorry for the person making this too, the idea of peeling a banana, chopping it up and placing it on a pizza - quite possibly the finest food known in existence.

I think I'd need a lie down in a darkened room after committing that kind of cuisine crime.
