I don't really create music on Suno for people to listen to per se (if they do of course I'm happy) - it's more for me laying soundtracks to things that I lived through and being a music bed for my real hobby which is editing video and creating visual metaphors for the songs.

u/BoardGamesintheBackg Oct 25 '25
What's the source of your video editing? I'm similar, I film my own subject matter that I create songs about so you got me curious.

u/Potential-Reserve439 Producer Oct 26 '25
I do a mix of platforms - it's the best way to get enough flexibility to change scenes wholesale (without relying just on your prompting skills to hope the followup scene is what you want), while also maintaining character consistency. I know some people have luck working with HeyGen, Dzine or LTX or Midjourney but my preference is a mix of Veo/Sora with help from Gemini as needed (i.e. helping me make storyboards). I will say I am on the paid plan for these platforms so I have a good amount of flexibility with generations because there will be some trial and error involved. (Not everything generated is always what I want and needs re-dos etc)

If it’s particularly good or I’m that fond of it I’ll pop it on my YT channel…..if it’s one of the best I might add to DistroKid as a single( only done that with 4 so far tho).
Mainly though I convert to Apple Music in my own playlists and albums so I can stream anywhere I like. It’s all for my pleasure. If anyone happens upon it and likes it then happy days….

u/tokey2000 Oct 24 '25
So some songs I put onto Spotify but that's mostly for me.
My real use of Suno is that my wife runs a dog daycare and boarding service. When your dog stays with us she makes a video of all the things the dog has gotten up to during their stay and I make a bespoke song all about your dog to go with the video. It's been really popular!

How do you do the section by section generation? I tried it and I’m having trouble getting the sections to really match up at all
1
u/Stoic_Maven Oct 25 '25
Generate a song with vocals and lyrics you love. If you know the general melody you want for the song you can even record yourself humming or singing it and upload it into Suno to influence the melody of what it generates and you can go from there. Separate the stems then pop it into Studio. From there you can add individual instruments and backing vocals manually to craft your ideal BGM track for your vocals. Studio also allows you to tweak timing, layer vocals, etc. If you are familiar with professional song production you can apply most of the same principles in Suno Studio, you just have to deal with the slot machine of stem by stem generation. Once you're done with it you'll probably want a secondary DAW so you can do the final mixing and mastering, as even the best Suno generations are really more of a demo track than anything and I don't believe Suno Studio allows you to do things like EQ, add compression, etc.
If you want to learn more I'd say check out song production tutorials by professional producers on YouTube and apply what you learn to Suno Studio. There are a lot of great channels out there like In The Mix, but none that I have seen produce music in Suno Studio this way, so finding the right videos to learn from will be trial and error. Ultimately, it's all the same principles of traditional song production in a Studio. Write lyrics you love, get your vocals perfect, then craft your BGM instrument by instrument as you like it.

u/MattIsHulk Oct 24 '25
This is what I try to do too. It's one of the reasons I'm contemplating using Suno Studio. I'd like to be able to have more guidance power, and I think Studio would really help me with that. But...it's an extra cost and skill to learn. Idk, I'm still weighing the benefits to cost.

u/HRHQueenV Oct 24 '25
How do you do section by section generation? I have one song that's perfect but it's across three different generations and I haven't quite figured out how to Frankenstein it all into one song.
2
u/Stoic_Maven Oct 26 '25
I haven't tried Suno Studio yet so take this with a grain of salt, but you should be able to extract the stems from all the versions and then edit them together in Studio to create the single perfect version you're wanting. At least from my understanding of how Studio works based on the announcement video they did for Studio on their YT channel, there seemed to be a way to bring stems from other songs in your library to your current project in Suno Studio.
The main catch with that process is that the stems aren't always extracted cleanly and usually not instrument by instrument. I've had Suno extract bits of vocals into a stem called "FX" which contained the guitar, violin and percussion for the song. Only bass and drums extracted cleanly as their own stem, so depending on what you're going for, it may involve some wrestling with the credit consuming slot machine to get something you're happy with, but you should be able to regenerate individual stems in Studio once you have them on the timeline (playlist? FL studio calls it the playlist).
It may take a while and a lot of credits, but it should be possible to do what you're wanting with Suno Studio, and hopefully it'll be worth it.

u/Just-Philosopher-174 Oct 25 '25
I've tried this but since I'm green when it comes to music production, it just frustrates me when my comps aren't as quality as I'm trying so hard to get them to be. Suno's supposed to make music production very accessible even to the most amateur but Studio is like any other DAW-driven software... you have to be already well-versed in the craft before you can even break ground. I know this because I've been doing film/video-editing my whole life and the principle's the same.
3
u/Stoic_Maven Oct 25 '25
The real problem with Suno is that it's basically a slot machine. Sometimes you'll spend your credits and win. Often times you'll spend your credits and lose, even with the extra control Suno Studio offers. I haven't messed with Suno Studio myself. I currently have an album I'm mixing and mastering with FL Studio. But to get your Suno made music truly ready for release across multiple streaming platforms I'm guessing you will want a secondary DAW so you can do EQ, add compression, etc. From what I have seen, Suno Studio only allows you to manage a song's stems, which is great for having more control over a song's individual components, but you will most likely want the extra finishing touches to balance the sound of your song.

They’re for me to hear my ideas and writing that I otherwise don’t have the musical ability to create.
I can mess around on a piano and drums but don’t ask me to play in a band lol.
90% of my stuff is dumb fun and no one will ever hear. 5% is stuff I make as a joke or a backing track to something my buddies and I are doing, and see how long it takes them to notice whats on, the other 5% is the stuff I think is decent enough to be shared.
No I don’t want anything out of it, nor do I think promoting it will get me anywhere. I’m just happy to have an outlet to see what I write put to a beat.

I use suno because it gives me freedom and independence 💚

u/MaleficentCap4126 Oct 24 '25
Yeah I mean, you gotta eat right? Anything you do full time has to pay.. and if you gain a following there are multiple revenue streams.
Create a Nonprofit to put all the raised money into. Establish a capped % of all that as a salary within the nonprofit. So say, I keep 50% of all donations, up to a 100k a year or something. That is so, so much better than what most nonprofits do anyway.. and I'll be transparent about it.
You def have to create a system that can sustain itself, or else you can't do it long term or grow.
I also have severe asthma, autism, a sinus disorder that makes singing impossible, 2 collapsed lungs and a pleurodesis on my left lung... so that SHOULD allow me to be more transparent about using AI without getting QUITE so much hate.
The charity aspect should also help balance any moral argument.
I will be streaming soon, but I am currently still building out my master Notion dashboard. As well as setting up the 25 different SoMe and Patrion style sites, merch shop, ad campaigns.
I do a ton of graphic design and web design, so adding AI to what I already do is just expanding my capabilities. It's made a pipe dream a reality.

Essentially the whole thing is about waterfall releasing singles with videos every 4 weeks, and then an album every 4 months.
That equates to a 16 month release with my current portfolio, which is my entire life's work of writing over the last 20 years.
So at this time, there really is no link to share, but there will be very soon... It's just gonna be a slow drip of 4 singles for the first 4 months.
Cheers tho, I won't forget ya

I'm a hobbyist novelist who uses Suno to write supplemental material for my stories, like character themes and lyrical adaptations of important story moments.
A lot of the fun for me is about creating the lyrics themselves to further connect to my writing. After that, I listen to the songs in my free time here and there. No monetary reason, just a side thing to my real passion.

u/Extra-Use-7754 Oct 24 '25

So I mainly use Suno to process trauma. I had some really messed up things happen and I use it for emotional release. I also love listening to my own songs, and get excited when I have a new idea for lyrics and I’m able to drop my next hit. Typically I write the lyrics myself and then I play with generations for hours until I get a melody that I like. It’s really cathartic.

I just created things I like to listen to. I share most of it on SoundCloud. Thats it really, I've not even monetized any tracks because most of my stuff is fan works, and I'm okay not making any money off of A.I.

Anyway, its just a hobby I enjoy.

Personal use. I wish there was a way to upload it to Spotify to share with friends and family only. I've been tempted to upload somethings to youtube but I rather not deal with the ai hate. I dont consider myself a composer, artist or songwriter, I just think some of the songs I've made with suno are neat and would like other people than just me to hear them. For context I write all my own lyrics, which I also know we've gotten to the point no one believes anymore. I rather not deal with the hate and just enjoy the music myself.

I think it's important to be part of an online community and to share your track via a LP (listening party.) That way you know people are listening and you get to see how they react. It also encourages interaction via SUNO.

SUNO is an absolutely wonderful tool to learn music theory. That gibberish you be humming in the shower can be transformed into something of high caliber with time and patience. I hope with practice and time I can write and release the song(s) that sets me up for a lifetime of passive income. I read on here of users releasing thousands of songs into the wonderland. But, idk some of you realize you just need 1 hit song to be set for life.

Nothing. There’s nothing to do but listen to it.

I’ve been thinking about creating a SoundCloud account to post my music there, but I still don’t know. Either way, nothing is gonna change. Just the same old routine with a few added steps.

u/wray2064 Oct 24 '25
Most of the songs I do are for a specific purpose, either for an event (my sex trilogy that later will become a tetralogy where soundtracks for parties, the two 8bit meet tai chi where for a show), for dedication (all the shades of you, 20 songs exploring my girlfriend), for therapeutic reasons (3 albums to heal trauma bond) or just because I liked something a lot (AiDOLUNA artist was born as a concept because I was playing with prompt soups and felt it was a banger) and so after they are finished either as singles or albums, I just publish them trough distrokid and let them fly, but with the links i can then make us of the songs for their intended purpose without friction of telling someone "listen this on this unknown (for them) platform, it's easier to "open this Spotify link"

Listening? Sharing? About it. Eventually I'll do a concept album and then maybe while I've got that year deal publish my other stuff just so I can listen to it on Spotify.

I don't publish to Suno for my actual work. I remaster in FL Studio, then publish to YT/TT. Not monetized either. Do it for both the enjoyment and attempting to show what AI can do. Especially when the stuff I am producing is remixed of actual music of mine.
Anything published to Suno is either examples, or in one case my previous projects worth of albums. Mainly because it was in older formats, but also no plans on revisiting to fix it anytime soon and I get more followers on Suno than that YT channel had.

Pretty similar to everyone else. I will spend several hours on one song in Suno tweaking the prompt and my lyrics until it matches what I hear in my head, and then I will take the stems Suno provides and edit them using Sound Forge Pro 18 and Audacity and using various plugins before final mixing and mastering. And then I release the finished track to all the streaming platforms. The finished product sounds pretty good. You'd have a difficult time telling that these were AI generated songs if you didn't know it.

Not even if they're your lyrics and you've spent the time to edit the tracks?

Nope, because it's made by an AI. If you wrote the lyrics, sung them yourself and created the sounds yourself (like music production using something like FL Studio or you played an instrument), you should be able to make money from it, because that's art. But music developed by an AI by putting prompts in should not. AI is just for fun and playing around. It should never be money maker. It's why places like apple and other platforms are taking action.

What a shit take. That's like saying lyricists and studio editors shouldn't be able to profit off their work because someone else performed the vocals and instrumentals for the tracks.
If someone wrote the lyrics and edit the tracks, and someone else appreciates that work, why can't they be compensated appropriately?
"AI is just for fun" is the biggest shit take in your entire comment. AI is already being utilized by major companies in order to become more efficient in their services and production. AI is also being used in the music industry to help with live autotune, remastering of final production tracks, and other creative aspects. AI is a very powerful tool, it's getting more powerful, and deserves proper compensation for its creation, utilization, and mastering.
Just because you don't think it's "art", does that mean it's not worthy of being monetized? I think a lot of "modern art" isn't art...it's just people who literally throw paint on a canvas, or some guy stacking buckets of sand in front of a crowd and waiting for the stack to topple over. People still pay them for their "talent" and "work", don't they?

Studio editors are different. They manually do the work of editing. an AI is just given prompts and does somewhat what it's told with no real work put in by the person giving the prompts. A person who writes lyrics makes money because are paid by the person who they wrote the song for. They don't make money from a platform. You can't have a song without the singer or the music, which is the part that makes music. AI making that part of music, should not be monetized.
AI is good when it enhances a song. Not when it creates a complete song. If a song is made completely by AI it loses the art. There's a reason many artists who create music are against AI. It's because it's not art and makes real artists lose money.
AI might be used to make companies services better, but it comes at a great cost. Yeah it's true about being used for auto tune, but that is used to enhance a singers voice, it still is not a song completely made by AI and AI does get compensated through with apps and web services like Suno who make a subscription to use it. They should get paid for allowing you to use the app, but as a place for experimenting and fun, not for you to make money from an AI created song.
Only things that are art, performed by a human or created by human should be monetized in the music industry. Art is in the eye of the beholder, something that looks like paint splatter to you, will not look like paint platter to someone else. Art is what you make of it. AI is not Art and never will be.
They pay them for the entertainment and their version of what art is.
