From Humming into Suno to Mixing in Logic: My Journey as AquaBit
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a personal milestone because I think many of us are navigating the "AI crossroads" right now.
For a while, I was using Suno as a core part of my process. I wasn’t just hitting "randomize"—I was feeding it my own lyrics, humming my melodies into it, and using it to build out tracks based on my specific ideas. It felt like a shortcut to hear my visions come to life.
But eventually, I hit a wall. Even though the ideas were mine, the execution wasn't. I felt like I was losing the soul of the music by letting an algorithm handle the engineering.
I decided to make a clean break and go fully manual. I’ve been diving deep into Logic Pro, getting back to the keys with my M-AUDIO Oxygen 49, and learning the actual grit of mixing and sound design. I recently released my album, You Are the Silence with music video on YouTube, and a Tech House track called [Tech House]"Thief of Joy." Knowing that every synth layer and transition was hand-built—and that the final sound is 100% my own—is a level of satisfaction I never got from AI.
I’m curious to hear from you all:
• Have you used AI to flesh out your own melodies or lyrics? Did you feel like it stayed true to your vision, or did you eventually want more control?
• For the Logic power users: What was the hardest part of the learning curve when you moved from "ideas" to "full production"?
• What are you working on right now? I'd love to hear about your setups or the tracks you're currently polishing!
Keep the craft alive!
