Yes...that ability to articulate the prompts to get exactly what you want to hear is going to give you a sharp edge Couch

When asked for your sauce I immediately thought uh uh because that is your intellectual property in all this...that set of prompts

Thanks for sharing those insights

Thanks folks. I listened to a lot of music over the years, and it's paying off with Suno. I can tell it obscure stuff and it knows what to do.

the last time I was in Nashville, I asked the demo guy about getting a certain sound. He told me they'd need special microphones and it'd cost 1000s extra to cut an album that way.

Suno does it on moments... :)

k second time around, head phones on like the first time, but at full volume...oh gonna close my eyes now and I can't wait for that drop down ......


man is that good Couch...stellar....


so you "shaped" that with prompts...and you have a paid SUNO version, so it is yours fully no rights to pay?

Like Chinatown?

Monterey 

Monterey
I can see a shadow in your red sunset
Curved and lovely as a woman’s silhouette
As if now were yesterday, endlessly in Monterey

Monterey
She’d been workin’ in some fisherman’s saloon
And her shoulders shone like ivory on the dunes
Makin’ love where moonlight lay, in the sands of Monterey

Misty farewell on a midnight fishing pier
O the sands of time can’t stem the tide of tears
Heard she wed a yachtsman up near Half-Moon Bay
Now her shadow haunts the shores of Monterey

Monterey
There’s a sad old houseboat half a mile at sea
Anchored to tequila by a memory
But each night I sail away, to the past at Monterey

As if now were yesterday, endlessly in Monterey
As if now were yesterday, endlessly in Monterey…
