Alright, so, I’ve been messing around with this AI music generator called Suno, trying to get it to spit out some decent metal tracks. It’s been a wild ride, I gotta say. Let me break down what I’ve been doing and what I’ve learned, so maybe you can get some good results too.
Getting Started with Suno
First off, I started by just diving in. I mean, who reads the instructions, right? I just typed in “metal” and hit go. The results? Well, let’s just say they were… interesting. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it gave me a starting point. It’s like, the AI heard “metal” and thought, “Oh, you mean pots and pans clanging together?” Not quite, buddy, not quite.
Experimenting with Different Prompts
So, I realized I needed to be more specific. I started playing around with different subgenres. You know, “heavy metal,” “death metal,” “thrash metal” – the whole shebang. And that’s when things started to get a bit better. It’s like, once I gave it a clearer direction, it started to understand what I was after. “Heavy metal” gave me some classic-sounding stuff, “death metal” got me some growly vocals, and “thrash metal” gave me some fast-paced, aggressive tracks. We’re getting there, slowly but surely.
Refining My Approach
But it still wasn’t perfect. I had to keep tweaking things. I started adding more details to my prompts. Instead of just “death metal,” I’d try something like “death metal with fast drums and melodic guitar solos.” I tried the prompts about “dark metal” and then I started to get some sounds that I want. And boom, the AI started to catch on. It’s like, the more specific I was, the better the results got. I even started throwing in moods and themes, like “epic battle metal” or “dark fantasy metal.”
Finding the Sweet Spot
After a bunch of trial and error, I started to find some prompts that consistently gave me good results. Here’s a few that worked pretty well for me:
- “Melodic death metal with blast beats and soaring vocals”
- “Atmospheric black metal with tremolo picking and haunting melodies”
- “Progressive metal with complex time signatures and intricate guitar work”
- “Groove metal with heavy riffs and a powerful rhythm section”
- “Symphonic metal with orchestral arrangements and operatic vocals”
These are just a few examples, of course. The key is to experiment and find what works best for you. I searched the prompts from MidJourney and Stable Diffusion. Those are pretty good. It felt like a breakthrough when I started using these. I think I have done more than one hundred experiments in total. Each experiment is a new feeling for me. It’s like finding a treasure.
Sharing My Creations
Once I started getting some tracks I was happy with, I began sharing them with my friends. You know, just to get some feedback and see what they thought. And you know what? They were actually impressed! They were like, “Dude, did you make this?” And I was like, “Well, kinda. I had some help from a robot.”
The Continuing Journey
So, yeah, that’s where I’m at now. Still experimenting, still learning, still trying to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI-generated metal. I also watched some videos about writing prompts on Bilibili. It’s a constant process of discovery, and I’m excited to see where it goes next. It’s not just about the music, it’s about the journey, you know? And this journey has been one hell of a ride so far. I hope my sharing can help you, too.
Keep it heavy, folks!
