The extend definitely helps. A lot of people have written to me asking about fixing lyrics which is where replace can really help. I plan to explore instrumentals more soon. I’m glad you’re finding some things that work!

Yes. Duets are difficult. I talk about it in more detail in my “expert mode part 1” video - but one thing that can help is using ( ) to do a call and respond in the lyrics. Ie: [Chorus] I love you (you’re the air I breathe) I love you (you’re all I’ll ever need) This also works for rap songs

Duets can be tough. Watch my video “Expert Mode part 1” for details on how to get duets. The basics are: use ( ) in the lyric section. Ie: [Chorus] I’m so in love with you (you are the air I breathe) No one could take your place (you are the world to me)

So glad to help!!

@@realmattdean I appreciate you. thnx again.

Insult the platform if you like, it don’t insult the people using it. That makes it sound like the only thing you have to say are insults.

I’ve had problems with several ai apps who do a terrible job of following the prompts and give no refunds. Frustrating. I’ve released several newer videos that show some more reliable ways of getting the voices you want. They are not 100%, but it’s been a bit better in the last month. 🤷

Yes - I’ve found the same thing. What helps a lot is using baritone, tenor, alto and soprano along with male or female in the song style area.

🕺

I’ve had some luck with [modulate up] but sometimes it ignores the prompt. I would do [modulate up] then [chorus] or [Bridge] [Modulate up] [Chorus]

Thank you!

It does have some issues. Will be looking into similar tutorials on Udio soon and will do a comparison.

I’ve been able to get it to correct some lyrics in cover, but not 100% of the time. It does however work nearly 100% when you use replace or extend. Both options will keep the same or similar melody. If it doesn’t fix in cover - try that method.

@@realmattdean Thanks will give that a go.

I go back and forth between 3.5 and 4. The shimmer in 4 annoys me, but it’s been getting better. And when it comes to functionality and teaching the methods and prompts, they are similar.

@@realmattdean use 3.5, 4 is like cooking a cake with light ingredients and 3.5 is the original recipe, if we add that when you go from 3.5 to 4 the arrangements of the song change, that's when I start to hate it hahaha

I’m glad it’s helpful. Looking forward to hearing what you come up with!

@@realmattdean I posted a song yesterday, but I admit that because I wasn't good enough with the Replace function I did a bit of splicing in my DAW. Worked alright in the long run because I needed to adjust some the volume in a couple of spots.

@ sounds like a good way to go. These are tools serve us and our artistic endeavors. Don’t be afraid to release your creations and then make the next one even better!

Thanks! I’m so glad these are helpful. Have you checked out Episode 6 “create unique voices”? I agree that many of these voices sound very very similar. I have found a few tricks that seem to help. Using descriptive terms starting with they range of singer (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone) and using accents like “Brooklyn accent” “southern accent” or trying other languages in the lyrics like Spanish or Gaelic. Once you have a unique voice, save it as a persona and then use it on a new song. This won’t work all the time as Suno is still working out the bugs, but it should help. I also have some public personas that you can try out as well! Good luck and let me know what works for you.

@realmattdean i will let you know, thanks :)

Thank you for your tutorial, I am a musician and would like to ask if there is a way on the persona section I can just put my sound ​@@realmattdean

Oh man, the personas thing has been a bit frustrating to me. One of the male personas I have created sometimes still randomly becomes a female voice if I touch the style prompt at all. I wanted to do a slow ballad, so I just added ballad to the beginning of my style prompt, and boom, suddenly my male 80s metal singer persona was a female.

That's really frustrating, I think if they could add a system where you put your own voice and use it​@@HairTodayGlamTomorrow

Hahahaha. I think having a Saint Matt of Suno will give you the exact same luck as we currently have at getting what we want out of this crazy software. I give it a 50/50 shot of getting what you asked for, or getting something random. Now go say 3 “Hail Suno”s and one “Matt Father of Grace notes” and see if it responds to your prompts. 🤣🤷🕺

just now!!

What I love about Suno is that you can try a LOT of different styles until the one you like! You might start by googling the current most popular styles of music and try a couple of those. Make sure to enter in the proper [verse] [chorus] [Bridge] and other prompts as needed with your lyrics. Also be sure that you’re using the paid version so that YOU own the copyright and not Suno. The music styles will be very personal to you. So try different ones u til you find the one you like. Then please come share it with me! Would love to hear what you come up with!

@realmattdean Thank you. Greatly appreciate your inputs.

I’m quite sure I have a LOT to learn about getting this to work properly. That’s amazing that you’ve found some solutions. I’d love to see an example of what you’re talking about and I’m sure others would as well!

I’m quite sure that is an option!

You may try brother 😮

Thank you! I agree about the inconsistency with Suno. It’s consistently inconsistent. It does seem to be a little better this week with male and female prompts than it was a few weeks ago so maybe it’s getting better. 🤷

Glad to help!

It really does have a ways to go before it’s consistent, accurate or able to follow any basic music theory prompts. Sometimes it feels more like spinning a wheel of options and getting surprised by what ever pops up. Sometimes it’s pretty cool, but not always what you were looking for.

That’s interesting! Will have to try that. Thanks!

I have read your comment 5 times and I still dont undersgand what your saying... Is thia cypher , is there 2 conversations going on at the same time? or is it a translation issue? I must know..What is the secret behind your comment,

Thank you! I’ve looked into it a little, but I’m actually trying to get a better handle on the ai video services. I’ve heard from some people that udio is really good in some areas. Will see what I can do!

Thanks for your thoughts and experience with this! I have found less luck than you at trying those techniques within the lyric section, but Suno does seem to be adjusting every day so it might be that it’s starting to do a better job of following those prompts. When I’ve tried those in the past, it’s just ignored them, but I’m glad they’ve been working for you! Hopefully it’ll become more consistent so that we know what to expect and can better make what we want! Thanks for letting me know and keep sending any prompts you find are working!

Put the type of rock you want in the style section along with male singer or female singer or use a more descriptive set of word like “gravely baritone male singer” or “smooth and silky sounding soprano fame singer” I have found that descriptive or emotional terms help get closer to the voice you want

really?? I haven't tried using anything other than [ ] and ( ) - does * help with any other prompts I wonder? Which sound fx have you found to work?

@realmattdean thunder, gun shots...

my wifes boyfriend also likes it, sometimes we make songs together

🤣🤣🤣 nice. Tell your wife hi for me.

@@skleenis I think I’ve been to that truck stop.

@@realmattdean 🤣🤣 hope you have a good one my man

Not according to their legal documents. If you are using the paid service, you own the copyright. It’s only if you are using the free version that you do not. However, the copyright issue with ai music is a long way from being settled.

Of course you will get the strike, because suno protects your work to be stolen and uploaded by anybody as their creation. The problem is there seems to be no white list solution yet to allow you to upload your own works to your own youtube account. And there is no other way to prove your rights than your suno account itself. I think we need a digital watermark solution to sign digital works in the files itself to be able to prove ownership.

I am working on a new video that will come out in a couple weeks regarding the upload and cover functions. I’ve had some really interesting results from instrumentals, but not from voices or from sample of horns. I’m not sure what’s going on with it yet, but I’ll report back as I discover what does and does not seem to work. I have found that the prompts used are VERY hit and miss with this feature - so I’m not surprised that it’s having trouble with voices.

@@realmattdean Okay, thanks. Will keep an eye out for that video!

@elnidogaming I’ve had pretty good success using my own voice, and while it’s not perfect, it sounds more like me compared to the Suno-generated voices. Here’s the process I follow: 1. Upload a sample of you briefly singing something with no background noise, just your voice. 2. Use that audio file to extend a new song. 3. Set the 'extend from' timing to where you want the song to start from your voice sample. If you don’t want the sample itself in your song, you can extend from a later point (e.g., 00:08). To create a gap before the song starts, add [break] in the lyrics box for the first few lines. For example: Lyrics box: [break] [break] [break] Your voice won’t be imitated perfectly, but it’ll be close. You may need to go through several iterations to get the generated voice sounding more like yours. Hope this helps!

@@KreoMelodyOfficial Thank you so much, I'll give this a go! 🙏

i asked 2 friends, if the voice sound like mine, and yes , it says around 30% . So yeah it kinda work

Sounds like an interesting idea! Thank you!

Specifying [odd time signature] has worked for me. One in particular, I got a 7/8 verse and asked for [half time] on the chorus and got a half time 4/4. I also included "progressive" in my song description. It ended up fitting my lyrics so well I downloaded it then asked for [epic guitar solo] extending after the chorus lol. Took 4 tries but got something I was looking for and downloaded that. Took an intro I had created and crossfaded that into song I first downloaded then spliced the ending solo and turned out into a 7 minute Suno masterpiece.

Sounds good! Will give that a try. I’ve noticed this week that it’s been a little better at male or female prompts. Maybe it’s improving?

That’s great to know! Thank you. I’m going to compile a list of what prompts others are getting to work so we can all contribute. Will try what you’re doing!

Thank you for your thoughts! It’s all growing soooo fast. It feels like by the time I get one video out there are changes but then it still won’t do male or female voices consistently…. 🤷 I’m glad this is helpful for you. Let me know what you find works for you!

@@SteveM45 that’s amazing. I’ve been testing the upload feature before I make a video on it. But it seems really powerful. I’ve uploaded several instrumentals and it does and interesting job of adding different instruments or changing a guitar song into horns or piano…

@@SteveM45 interesting. That seems to fall into the idea that Suno is just playing by ear rather than responding to specific directions. But it means that we can’t seem to make something like an odd rock beat in 7/8??

@@SteveM45 interesting! I tried :30, :60, 1:30…. Nothing seemed to work. Most songs seem to naturally end between 2:30 and 3:30 so I didn’t try those. Thanks for letting us know what worked for you!

@@SteveM45 great! Would love to see what’s working for you. I’m Hoping the more we point out what does and doesn’t work, the more Suno will make adjustments.

I have experimented with your Song "I Need you"😊

My Name = Sound4Soul

following. :)

@@enifx wow - yes… Suno can be very very inconsistent. Sometimes when I do a persona, it does it as a male, then changes to female. It’s very strange that Suno brought back in the lyrics from an old song when you imported the persona!! Wow. 🤦‍♂️ let me know what else you find. I think I need to do a funny video next on all the hilarious errors that Suno does!!

that would be a great addition.

@schenier I agree, I've emailed Suno suggesting that to them just before they came out with personas.

I cannot get it to do speech, talking, poetry or anything similar except by just random luck. However - if you use ( ) in the lyrics section - it will sometimes speak, so a duet or in rap give you rap/ speaking in most cases.
