Well… love it or hate it, Suno has really become the second or third writer in the room!
I think using it just to spit out prompts and call yourself a songwriter is pretty crappy and wrong.
However — if you actually utilise the platform properly — it’s incredible what you can achieve with it.
For example:
My friend and artist Sir Augie will often take a pre-written song, a vocal acapella, or a completely new idea he’s just sung into his phone — no Auto-Tune, not perfectly in time, but killer lyrics and melodies.
From there, we use prompts and styling, build a persona, and really spend time crafting the character and qualities of the vocals.
Then we’ll generate a few different versions until we land on an interpretation we like.After that, we extract the stems, chop up the arrangement, and reshape it into something that feels right — and the best part?
We add additional production and sprinkle our own style and flavour on top.
Suno is still a bit one-dimensional when it comes to the mix and overall sonic uniqueness.The music, at this stage, still lacks a bit of character — but if you’ve been producing for a while, you can absolutely use it as a co-writer and elevate it with your own touch, sound design, and mix style.
It’s honestly been a really fun process — 50% human, 50% AI — and it’s creating some insane results.
Have you guys tried using it this way yet?
Let me know what you think
I’m actually digging it!
