Thoughts on using AI in music? Love it? Hate it? Let’s talk about it

Hey y’all my name is DJ and I’ve used FL ever since I saw Lex Luger and Southside making beats for Waka Flocka on YouTube. I even worked in the industry a bit, but now I’m building Noir, an AI creative assistant made for real creators by someone who actually makes music.

I believe we can use AI to enhance our creativity, not replace it like these other companies who don’t respect us. On top of that, I want to build a platform where we can all connect and collab easily.

What would you actually want an AI tool to do for you and help you create at the highest level?

I’m trying to build something really dope that brings the community together and adds value.

[Indie] "Lazy wee" by My Basement Songs Realized

I have read the rules, Mr Mod.

For what it's worth I'll submit a song

This is "Lazy wee". Written the summer I was 19 year old, decades ago. About those nocturnal teenage summer nights, hanging out, jamming, doing nothing productive.

The original demo was recorded in my Mom's living room one night she was out of town and I had my buddy bring his recording stuff over and we knocked this out in 1 take. My buddy is on that Soloing guitar while my rhythm guitar drives the music. He sang back up with me on the second chorus and we had a 3rd friend come over and add his to the final chorus too.

With Suno I added, bass, djembe, keyboard, and a better lead singer, although in the second chorus my original lead vocals, empowered by my friends seems to outshine suno's vocalist.

Penny for ye thoughts.

How should Hybrid AI music be classified? Beyond “AI-generated” vs “Human”

The current discussion around AI music often seems to be reduced to a simple question: human or AI-generated.

But hybrid workflows are becoming more common:

  • human vocals + AI-generated instruments
  • human production + AI-assisted elements
  • AI-generated parts combined with traditional recording workflows

Authio recently published AOCS v1.0, a proposed technical framework for discussing these cases.

The idea is to separate technical audio analysis from questions like authorship, ownership or artistic value.

AOCS proposes three categories for eligible Hybrid recordings:

  • Human-Dominant Hybrid
  • Balanced Hybrid
  • AI-Dominant Hybrid

The classification is based on the detected AI contribution within the Full-Mix recording, rather than trying to determine who “created” the work.

From a production perspective:

Do you think this type of distinction is useful?

Would producers prefer a final master classification, or more granular information about where AI elements appear (vocals, instruments, processing, etc.)?

Interested in hearing opinions from people working with audio.

The Death of Kindness: Gothic Metal Concept Album Storytelling

A woman tries to save a vampire before there's nothing left to save. This is The Death of Kindness; part of an ongoing gothic metal concept album told through AI music videos. Since the same characters appear across multiple songs, I've been putting a lot of effort into keeping them visually consistent from video to video.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the character consistency and whether the story comes through clearly to someone seeing it for the first time.

Best workflow for creating 30-60 min ambient/focus tracks? (AI or hybrid)

I’m trying to figure out the best workflow for creating long-form ambient/focus tracks 30+ minutes like Brain.fm or these examples:

The goal isn’t just looping a short section, but creating one continuous track with a consistent atmosphere that slowly evolves without becoming repetitive.

Has anyone done this successfully?

I’m open to any workflow:

  • Fully AI
  • AI + DAW (Logic, but can be any other)
  • Paid tools or plugins
  • Generative music software

I’m especially interested in how you maintain a cohesive sound over 30+ minutes. Any recommendations, tools, or production techniques would be greatly appreciated.

Using Suno To Recreate Original Song

Signed up for Suno Pro today. Imported a song and tried repeatedly to get it to analyze and recreate that song, but it just created some noise artifacts, a synth track with some very sparse chords, as well as a slight reverb on the lead vocal...otherwise it was the same tracks. Has anyone here had any luck recreating their own work like this? My hope was that I could tell it what to do and it would create cleaner tracks and a better mix.

My latest Melodic/Techno track 'Signal in the Wire'. Audio made with Suno, visuals synced using AI

The signal wakes. The rhythm leads. No words needed — just the pulse, just the bass, just the night.

How do you handle visuals when posting AI-assisted music?

When I want to upload my tracks, most platforms want a video. Making the music feels easier for me, especially with Suno, but I’m not great at coming up with MV scripts or storylines.

My current workflow is pretty basic. I finish the track first, write one sentence/paragraph about the mood of the song, then run a few short clips through Kling/SondoAI/Seedance to compare the results. After that, I pick the direction that fits best and try to turn it into a longer video.

So far I’ve only finished two videos this way, and I’m curious how other people here are making MVs for AI-assisted tracks. What kind of visuals do you usually make for the music video?

Hybrid production is just how a lot of us work now

I've been building Cambrian Music, a platform for AI-assisted musicians, and wanted to share how we think about "hybrid" work. Not full AI generation, not pure human production, but the actual mix most people are doing.

To be clear, this isn't a platform that merely tolerates AI, it's built for it. No hiding how a track was made, no getting flagged or removed for using Suno, Udio, or whatever tool you work with.

Here's what's actually on the platform right now:

  • Human Authorship Records, an optional $29 add-on that documents what you actually did (writing, arrangement, mixing, prompting) alongside the AI-generated parts. It's there so the work you put in doesn't just get labeled "AI" and dismissed.
  • Release Ready, a mastering tool built around the fact that AI stems usually need a human pass before they're actually ready to release.
  • The Scene, weekly Top 50 charts that don't care how a track was made, just whether it's good.
  • Fan monetization, built on Stripe Connect, so people can actually support you directly instead of streaming pennies being the only option.

On pricing: there's a free tier, a Creator tier at $5.99/month, and a Pro/Label tier at $12.99/month. Revenue share to creators goes up with each tier, free is 65%, Creator is 85%, Pro/Label is 90%. The idea is the more serious you are about this as a income source, the more of your own money you keep.

I'm curious how people here split the work between themselves and the tools. Where do you draw the line on what counts as yours? That question is basically the whole reason we built this the way we did.

Founder here, open to anything. Questions, critique, pushback on pricing, feature ideas, whatever. Mostly just want to hear how people are actually working.

Good things happen when they need too. Got my break today!

So I was hosting a TikTok panel as I do on occasion, random people hanging out chatting

This guy comes up, super friendly, turns out he's a artist manager (with some notable people) also does photography, video work for people like Denzel curry, da baby, many many more, skaters, artists.

---- TikTok.is.a great resource, weeks ago a engineer for Skrillex had a panel , and names like timbaland and Todd Edwards (daft punk ftm) were up on the panel! It was on ai music.

Dude buys me a ticket to come hang out for a few days, and go to a show he'll be doing work for, with some notable edm artists.

This isn't to brag at all, honestly I had been getting on the verge of burnout with all the saturation, changing industry, things we all know. Wasn't sure of what to do next.

And boom, here's an opportunity to chill and network with people who can get things done. Some related to suno, some DJs that are known.

You never know when your time is going to come. Keep going, as the dude said - this is how it happens - it just happens. You have to believe in yourself. I had a positive mental energy and that's what made him want to take a chance on me.

(Leaving details out as we may have a troll issue lol) Will keep informed on any updates. Event is in a few months. Perfect time to get ready, as he said, you got to be ready to impress, but not push it.

If I can get this, I have no doubt anyone here can lol. Sure it's ability and all that, but the most important thing is being ready. Maybe something will come of this,.maybe it will just be a fun few days. Perfect amount of time to put together some sort of performance, and bring the tech I have been working on..

Just really eerie timing, still processing. Keep your head up. Dunno if the dude even listened to my music. There are still really good people out there, I was losing hope in the world..

(And yes it's real,. I already got the ticket, feel free to dm.ill tell you more about the person, acts involved etc..). HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!
