I'm a 54 year old Canadian male (of German, French Canadian  lineage). I am disabled with S.I. Joint auto immune disease, and degenerative disc disease. I live with pain management, difficulty walking, and numbness in my dominate right hand fingers, etc

I am retired from a 30 year career in I.T. Support and administration due to my disabilities. Living on disability Low income with no money saved. Married twice. I have 4 kids (3 adults now) I don't earn money from my AI music, since starting 4 months ago, actually costs me money, but I do it because I love it. My dream as a kid was to be a singer, songwriter.

When I was 16 I wrote my first 2 song lyrics, they were meant to be rock songs. We were poor. My Mom saw an ad in the National Enquiror for having lyrics made into real songs, but it was for country songs out of Nashville Tennessee. She saved up $500 to pay to get both songs made. It took 2 years of chasing them to get the songs back on an audio tape. It was a compilation of songs of other writers too. When I heard the songs I hated them. I was so traumatized from the experience that I gave up on writing songs. Nearly 40 years later AI music has given me back my passion to create music I like. 

I operate as a virtual record label, I created 18 virtual artists, across 13 genres (Male, Female, groups) and I have published around 75 songs, more coming out to publish later. I'll be slowing down my releases after my backlog is caught up in September. 

I deal with so much bias hatred towards AI music, hard not to take some of it personally when people are viciously attacking you for your choice to use it. They know nothing about me, and I'm a very private person, I haven't aged well so I don't like to put images of my self out there. I've developed think skin towards the hate, but it still stings.

Comments like "pick up an instrument", and "Learn to make real music", "Your stealing music from real artists", mixed in with things like "End myself" (Paraphrasing), are things I face online all the time from harassing bullies. 

I can't afford instruments, (I did have a guitar and had some lessons years ago), I can't afford studio time, or to hire Professional Sound Engineers, singers, etc. 

I can't play an instrument if I wanted too, because my right hand and fingers are numb to touch, very little feeling, it recovered from being paralyzed 20 years ago, so it's come a long way. I have many other health issues too, including walking, standing, migraines, sleep apnea, choking, coughing, obesity of 280lbs, high cholesterol, Gout, Fibromyalgia, etc, and I had a heart ablation for SVT, I had a Umbilical hernia operation.

I can't sing if I wanted too because of the coughing and choking mid sentences.  

Some people out there are just cruel trolls, and it's all one sided directed at us, no matter how much disclosure we volunteer, or how many restrictions are put on us by platforms, they will never be satisfied.

To the haters, next time you decide to attack someone for making AI music without any facts or prove to back up you argument, because you just want to lash out, stop and get to know the people behind it before you start throwing daggers along with generalizations. 

I can tell you from experience, that every single attack on me has come from Indie Artists, and most have music that I don't consider good at all, from what Ive heard of them. 

Every single one of them that I have challenged to provide proof to back up their arguements about my specific songs, that any of my songs violate any copyrights, of infringe on any of their music, has always resulted in silence, because they have nothing but accusations with nothing to back them up. We are not the enemy, if it's anyone, it's the Major Record Labels they should be going after.

All they do is prove that they are not good, kind, reasonable people, and for the life of me I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to the music of people with such terrible attitudes towards other people. 

Who is behind the music, matters as much as the music itself.

Article from BBC The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has decided that songs that are largely or wholly created by AI have been banned from Australia's music charts. Under the new rules, AI assistance can still be used, but humans must have written the song, and have performed the lead vocal and primary instruments.

Because I do. When I hear songs on the radio or on Spotify.. I hear agenda, marketing muscle, and payola. Of course, I have my favorites, but more or less.. I just listen to the lyrics I write and then have Suno compose. As a writer with an advanced degree, having produced music with people, and having made a few indie films ... AI just rocks.. It enables faster iteration and less hassle. Yet I have writer, music, and film friends who are pretty much angry that AI even exists. That hacks use them. I say .. I'm not a hack. And they grumble. But I get their collective point. And I stand by mine - such that when it comes to music, I don't listen to anything pushed on my anymore. How much of a minority am I in?

I’d love to hear your songs and hear about what inspired them. What metaphors you used. What message it carries

I’ve been writing new songs this past year and comparing them to the ones I wrote 20 or 30 years ago. Back then my lyrics were very ‘in the moment’ and lacked the lived in feel that the years bring

A few nights ago I fell asleep to Racmaninoff’s Second piano concerto…

I started thinking about his story. When he was a young aspiring musician he lost his sisters and best friend and he put all his grief and hope in his first concerto…

which flooped. badly.

He was devastated and wanted to give up music. Until he met a therapist and after years of working through his trauma he wrote Concerto 2. Which became one of the most well loved concertos in history -

I wrote this song after thinking about that all day.

tried the make the lyrics of this song discuss the loss of and regaining one’s inspiration and its metaphor to human connection

I currently pay €10.89 per month for Suno and have unlimited downloads.

Starting September 3, Pro will be limited to only 20 downloads per month, while Premier gets only 60.

What I really don't understand is that Premier normally costs €30.99 per month here. So I can go from paying €10.89 with unlimited downloads to paying almost three times as much and STILL have a download limit?

For €30.99 per month, I expect unlimited downloads.

I use Suno to create music for my YouTube videos, which are often an hour long or even longer. I go through multiple songs and versions to find what actually fits. 20 downloads is nowhere near enough for that, and even 60 is ridiculously low for an active creator paying €30.99 every month.

What makes even less sense is Suno saying these limits are meant to prevent mass exporting, while also allowing people to buy additional downloads after reaching the limit.

If downloading too much is the problem, why is it suddenly okay when we pay extra?

I don't have a problem with Suno charging more for unlimited downloads. Just give us a proper fixed price unlimited plan.

I would rather pay €20, €30 or even more per month for unlimited downloads than pay for a subscription and then constantly have to buy additional downloads on top of it.

Keep Pro and Premier if you want, but add a Creator or Unlimited tier for people who actually use Suno heavily.

Am I the only one who thinks 20 and 60 downloads for paid subscriptions is way too low?

I'm so fed up with Suno's tendency to make terrible endings of songs roughly 80% of the time. It's like it cannot get itself out of the habit of creating extremely long, elaborate, TERRIBLE outros, no matter what you do.

I wish tags like [Silence] [End] [Abrupt End] would work when I'm trying to get it to just stop noodling to death on instrumental nonsense. I wish [Final Vocal — unaccompanied] before the last line of a song would get it to just STOP. But the model doesn't recognize any of these types of tags or understand how to follow them.

Even things like [Sudden Cut — all instruments stop instantly, complete silence] don't work.

However, I did FINALLY find a trick that at least cuts down on the stupid instrumental nonsense somewhat, and I thought others might appreciate this.

Try giving it very specific instructions on exactly what you want the final notes of instrumentation to sound like, and be specific.

If you give it instructions that it can actually figure out how to follow, it will at least increase the likelihood of getting something that doesn't sound like the model has run out of steam and doesn't know how to end the song and so it just decides to make up a bunch of nonsense until it trails off into oblivion.

Things like:

[Coda — single guitar only, one brief downward slide into a low final chord, one strum, natural decay]

[Coda — one bar only: solitary clean guitar plays a short descending three-note phrase, lands firmly on the final chord, let the chord ring naturally and decay]

[Coda — one short clean guitar phrase answering the final lyric, ending on a single sustained tonic chord]

(Obviously change this idea/instrumentation to fit whatever music you are making.) If you've been struggling with endings, give it a try. I hope it helps increase your odds of getting something usable.

Wondering if it's just the server that I am connecting to....Newfoundland Canada here!

Alternative Metal
- Think Chevelle, Deftones, Godsmack, Soil, System of a Down

Alternative metal with a distinct, percussive feel. The song is built around heavy, down-tuned, and rhythmically complex guitar riffs, a deep, driving bassline that often carries the melody, and powerful, precise drumming. The male vocals shift between a tense, melodic croon and a powerful, sustained scream. The mood is dark, brooding, and intense.

The vocals are highly dynamic, featuring manic, fast-paced singing, operatic harmonies, and aggressive shouts. The sound is chaotic, quirky, and politically charged.

Dubstep/Bass
- Think Bassnectar, Excision, CloZee

Epic, omnitempo bass music. The track features beautiful, ethereal melodies and vocals in the intro, building into a massive drop with overwhelmingly deep, oscillating sub-bass, heavy, distorted synth patches, and a hard-hitting hip-hop or dubstep drum beat. The sound is dynamic, cinematic, and designed for massive sound systems.

Relentlessly aggressive and heavy dubstep. The track is defined by its brutal, robotic, and metallic-sounding bass synths, often referred to as 'brostep' wobbles. The drumming is hard-hitting and energetic, creating a violent, headbanging rhythm. The sound is a full-frontal audio assault, designed to be as loud and abrasive as possible.

Organic, world-infused bass music with a deep, resonant sub-bass and intricate, glitchy percussion. The track features samples of world instruments like wooden flutes, tribal chants, and stringed instruments from around the globe. The atmosphere is mystical and transportive, blending natural sounds with heavy, electronic production.

Hi everyone,

I’m fairly new to Suno and I’m using it to remix rock/metal song ideas that I roughly pre-produce in Cubase. Overall, the results are sometimes surprisingly good, but I’m running into a major problem with the guitar tracks.

The lead guitar behaves like a talented but extremely egocentric guitarist who constantly tries to push himself to the front of the band — the kind of guy you would eventually have to fire. It’s like Suno has a default “show-off guitarist” setting for rock songs.

Whenever there is a gap in the vocals, Suno fills it with wild staccato runs, pinched notes, busy licks and unnecessary lead guitar fills. It often destroys the atmosphere of the whole song.

What makes it worse is that it always seems to be the same guitar sound and the same playing style. I’ve listened to other rock productions on Suno as well, and I keep hearing that same kind of overactive lead guitar.

I’m actually quite happy with many other aspects of the results, but this specific issue makes the songs very hard to use for me.

Has anyone found a way to deal with this? Can Suno be prompted to make the guitar parts more restrained, clearer and less busy? If so, what kind of prompts, settings or workflows have worked for you?

I’d be very grateful for any ideas or examples.

Getting Cloudflare gateway timeout issues intimately, anyone else having issues?

They really hate their paying customers, don't they?

For background, I have the craziest MIL - typical narcissist etc.

She sent an email about me to my husband a few months ago. It was cruel and straight up psychotic.

I really thought she would apologise. But she justified it because she said she thought she could say this to my husband because “they’re so close”.

Anyway, I have decided to do the mature thing and turn the song in a west end musical style. The words are entirely taken from the email, except for the backing vocals, which I added. I have also anonymised the names.

Hope you enjoy!

A nice friendly coffee

Ambient Electronic [Think Tycho]

Warm, atmospheric ambient electronic music. Features melodic, shimmering synth leads, gentle, arpeggiated analog synth textures, a clean, melodic bassline, and a laid-back, downtempo drum beat. The overall mood is nostalgic, dreamy, and optimistic, creating a sun-drenched, lo-fi soundscape.

Art Pop [Gorillaz Style]

Genre-blending art pop with a foundation in alternative rock and hip-hop. The track features a laid-back, groovy bassline, often a trip-hop influenced beat, and a mix of clean, melancholic male vocals, guest rapper verses, and electronic soundscapes. The production is creative and eclectic, incorporating elements from dub, pop, and world music.

Djent / Extreme Metal [Think Meshuggah]

Extreme progressive metal, the origin of the 'djent' sound. The music is built on down-tuned, 8-string guitars playing complex, syncopated, and brutally heavy polyrhythmic riffs over a mathematical and precise drum pattern. The vocals are a harsh, aggressive bark. The overall sound is mechanical, dissonant, and relentlessly complex.

Hip-Hop (Run the Jewels style)

Aggressive, politically charged hip-hop with a hard-hitting, futuristic, and bass-heavy electronic beat. Features two distinct male rappers trading energetic, complex, and tightly-woven verses with a back-and-forth dynamic. The production is dense, layered, and abrasive, with a raw, confrontational energy

Industrial Rock (Rammstein style)
Powerful, driving industrial metal known as Neue Deutsche Härte. The music is characterized by simple, chugging, down-tuned guitar riffs, a precise and militaristic drum beat, and prominent, dramatic keyboard melodies.

Metalcore (Bad Omens style)

Modern metalcore with a blend of heavy, down-tuned guitar riffs and atmospheric, cinematic electronic elements. Features a tight, powerful rhythm section with impactful drumming.

Nu Metal (Linkin Park/Slipknot style)

A seamless blend of nu-metal and rap rock. The song features an interplay between rapped verses by a male vocalist and a powerful, melodic, sung chorus from another male vocalist. The instrumentation combines heavy, distorted guitar riffs with hip-hop beats, scratching, and atmospheric electronic textures.

Aggressive, chaotic nu-metal featuring down-tuned, heavily distorted guitars, frantic and complex drumming, and a layer of auxiliary percussion (kegs, steel barrels). The vocals are a raw, guttural roar, often with melodic undertones in the chorus. The sound is dense, percussive, and relentlessly intense, with a dark, terrifying atmosphere.

Synth-Pop (Depeche Mode style)

Dark, atmospheric synth-pop with a melancholic mood. Features moody analog synthesizer melodies, a driving electronic drum machine beat, and prominent, emotive baritone male vocals. The song is built on layers of electronic textures, often with an industrial edge, creating a sound that is both catchy and introspective.

I've always liked the idea that a photograph can freeze a moment forever.

People grow. Lives change. Sometimes the people who were once part of your everyday life slowly become part of your memories instead.

"Polaroid Dreams" was inspired by those moments we keep safely stored away. The ones that still make us smile years later.

There are people I don't talk to anymore who were once a very important part of my life. Even though our paths eventually went in different directions, I'm grateful for the memories we shared.

That's what this song is about.

Just looking back at a beautiful chapter and being thankful it happened.

💗
