Hi, Hyejin. And welcome! I'll echo BDT - a very pleasant listen. There are some really nice touches, with the changes in instrumentation, varied string responses, and the lovely trills. As far as vocals - it sounds like you've got a great ear for this, so trust own choices.

Fun song. 😎 I know, not the response you were looking for.

My SWAG is that using AI gives people a feeling of ownership and control over the final product. Imagine the AI generates a cue based on given parameters the client wants, quickly iterates through changes, and presents something that feels complete and polished. It's not that difficult to...

They simply treated any music they could access as fair game for use as training data. That's a false analogy. As Adam Neeley noted, it's like saying that a submarine is just like a person because they both swim underwater. The music wasn't posted "free" for corporations to use as training...

I'm not interested in generating music with Suno. But using it to create vocals and transform instrumentals is really tempting. When I put together Down That Long Road, I used SynthV for the vocals. But it would have made a lot more sense to use Suno for the final vocals. It would have been a...

Yeah, it really shows the potential for what neural networks can do for virtual instruments. It's a shame Suno got there by treating music on the internet as free training data.

Unfortunately, there are two parts to this: getting the line to scan, and getting the line to say the right thing. Getting the line to scan is usually a matter of making sure the strong syllable (usually the first) lands on the strong beat. So for example, if you put "somewhere" on a weak beat...

I've had a couple of occasions where I've loaded vocals into SynthV to see how well the worked. Sometimes it's sounded pretty good. But... It's usually pretty awful at guessing the actual words. But unlike ReSing or Vocoflex you can actually change words that it gets wrong. Just be prepared to...

I'm a hobbyist, so my motivation is different than a professional. Sometimes, a song is just a puzzle to be solved, and other times, it's a very personal story that I want communicate. Since I'm trying to reach an audience, I'll translate ideas into something that can fit into a song. I'll...

There's a listing of January songs here: https://360degreesound.com/10-great-january-songs/

As a hobbyist, it can be easy to get distracted by Real Life and not do any writing for a couple months. In truth, the holidays were spent checking out all the sales, trying to convince myself that I didn't really need to buy yet another library because I wasn't likely to ever use them, no...

The people who use AI to do all the work are likely to self-select themselves out of the forum, anyway. Because if you use Suno (or some similar tool) to do all the work, what's there to discuss? But as Mike suggested, if there is something to discuss, let's not preclude that.

The question comes down to what "AI free" means to the person reading the label, not to you. An average person would think that a vocal "AI free" would mean that it was not generated by a computer. To an average person, a computer generated voice is a computer generated voice. Using...

Great recovery, and fun song! As long as no one hears "Ho Santa" in the wrong context. 🙃

I always liked George Winston's "December" album. I used to play that a lot on cold winter days. Well, as "cold" and "winter" as Northern California gets. 😎
