Hi all, my name is Beej. Very grateful to be here and finding and this community. Thank you all so much. I just launched a 9 track album today called BEEJ under my brand stage name Beej Barron - its a personal project so thats why I used my name.
Its my first time using Suno, and the first in a very long time (20 years) releasing anything actaully. I am almost regretting using my name now. So many haters out there automatically beatup on me using Suno though. I tried be transparant about it. I am a guitarist and songwriter, hobbyist though and been in a few bands in the early days. So I know how to write for a record, mix, arrange, produce whatever we want to call it these days. Still the same concepts.
I took my lyrics, uploaded my voice, vocal and guitar parts and produced my album the way I wanted it to sound like.
Some idiot messaged me and told me I didn't produce shit, blah blah but then half ass complimented me on my lyrics. I used Suno, dare I say I produced it then?
How to deal with trolls and haters which I am not used to (and probably why I just never post anything).?
Too early to tell how it will go, but already getting some listens off the back of my socials that I already have a very small following on. I mean its a good record, it could get some traction, but it would need marketing and promotion right.
I think to Jesse's point try not post under your name unless building a brand, but this was mostly me creating, producing, arranging and the lyrics are form years and years of getting stuff out of my head.
So its personal to me and I wanted to make it my own. It took sooooo long to get it somewhat to a point that I would want to play these live, so to get flogged in public is pretty harsh.
Sorry that was a brain dump - my question - to make the real money though and compound over time we need to keyword research, mass produce and distribute (without raising spam alarms)?
I had no idea i had a limit on the number of songs I could create, so I had to buy more, so be careful and be intentional for the most part when creating/producing.
How to deal with trolls, I mean I guess I could have not mentioned Suno. A record producer uses Pro Tools and many other tools to create, produce, master so to me its not a bid deal. Yes Suno not even comparable to those studio grade hardware/software tools, but its still a vehicle to create and produce.
I guess I need to watch Jesses videos on people and their views on AI Music to help get my head around not having imposter syndrome and feeling fake and having my music accepted. I do rate my album though, it took a tond of time and energy and effort (and prompting, remix, special direction in the style and lyric prompts etc). I guess thats all that matters. Haters be haters right.
Stoked to be here learning and creating (and producing) with you all. Would love to hear if anyone is having similar challenges overcoming any of the above.
