Unleash your inner songwriter with AI-powered music generation
Get ready to rock out with the latest craze in music powered by Artificial Intelligence: Suno AI, the generator of AI songs that’s gone viral.
No musical talent? No problem!
With just a few words, Suno AI can craft everything from catchy pop songs to soulful blues tunes. If you are a music enthusiast, this is a powerful tool for you.
Let’s dive in!
What is Suno AI?
Suno is an AI music generator that creates a song with original lyrics and beats from a text prompt. The tool can be accessed via its free standalone website or Microsoft Copilot by enabling Suno’s third-party plug-in. Lyrics, vocals, instruments — the whole package in just seconds. All types of music creation are available with this AI tool.
Best part? Suno v3 has paid plans, but the free version is very generous. It lets you create full-length, two minute songs daily, to fully test all the key features and learn the complete music creation process. It lets you explore different types of musical compositions. The results might be a little hit-or-miss depending on the genre, but that’s half the fun!
Okay, how do I play with Suno AI?
You’ll be jamming in no time! Here’s your quick start guide:
Make a free account: Hop over to Suno’s website and set yourself up.
Explore AI songs: In the “Explore” section, you can listen to great music created by other users. Feel free to copy any text prompt, brainstorm ideas, and adjust it to your needs.
Let your imagination run wild: In the “Create” section, jot down those song ideas. Remember, as with any text prompt, the tastier your description (think genre, mood, type of voice, and topic), the better Suno can work its magic.
Behold your musical creation! Suno will generate a couple of AI songs for you. You can then edit and adjust the AI generated song, or tweak your description and try again until you are happy with your personalized song.
Tips and tricks
Experiment with genres: Suno AI model shines with certain styles. Delta blues? Often a winner! Psychedelic 90s rock? Maybe not so much.
Want more control? The “Custom mode” lets you input your lyrics or switch to purely instrumental tracks.
Upgrade for serious songsmithing: With the Premier plan, you can generate loads more music and even use your creations commercially!
Suno AI is available as a plug-in in Microsoft Copilot.
The big copyright question
It’s complicated. Technically, you own each original song on paid plans, but copyright law around AI-generated stuff is still fuzzy. If you plan on selling your AI-powered hits, consulting a lawyer wouldn’t hurt. Also, currently, you can’t request a song creation with the style of a specific artist, only genres and styles.
Where’s this tech headed?
Imagine requesting a song in the style of Taylor Swift, with the music labels getting a cut of the action. That’s a potential future for Suno! For now, though, it’s the perfect tool for whipping up fun birthday songs, quirky tunes for your dog, or simply exploring what AI can do.
