Suno is an AI music generator that uses text prompts to generate songs with original lyrics and beats. The generator can be accessed via their free website https://www.suno.ai/ or through Microsoft Copilot by enabling Suno’s third-party plug-in.
What makes Suno stand out from other music-making models?
In addition to creating music, Suno also produces original lyrics and vocals. This reflects the company’s mission to make it possible for everyone to create music, regardless of background or musical knowledge. Suno’s intuitive interface makes it easy to use, and the only requirement is creating a free account.
How does Suno work?
Rolling Stone did a deep dive into Suno and its potential impact on the music business. In the report, the AI startup explained that Suno uses its own AI models to generate the music and then leverages ChatGPT to create the song’s title and lyrics.
If you’ve ever used ChatGPT, you know it’s a powerful tool capable of generating great text outputs, such as essays, thanks to its advanced natural language processing. Therefore, the integration of ChatGPT into the music generator is a great fit and a good indicator of the text quality it will produce.
How to use That AI?
Once you’ve created an account, to start generating music, simply visit app.suno.ai and enter a prompt into the textbox that describes the sound you want to hear and the topic you want the lyrics to be about.
Free users get 50 credits per day, and generating a single song takes up 10 credits. If you need more credits, you can upgrade to the Pro Plan for $8 per month, which gives users 2,500 credits per month. Besides that, you can upgrade to the Premier Plan, which gives users access to 10,000 credits per month.
Both subscription plans have other perks such as general commercial terms, optional credit top-ups, priority generating queue, and the ability to run 10 jobs at once.
Who owns songs made with This AI?
The emergence of AI music generators has alarmed music labels and artists because of how easy it is to create music that uses artists’ voices without their consent. How is Suno navigating the copyright issue?
According to the Rolling Stone report, Suno refuses to generate any music in the style of real artists’ voices.
Since all the music generated is original and not lifted from other artists’ work, paying subscribers own the songs generated by Suno, as well as the artwork that accompanies the songs. However, Suno retains all ownership of songs created by free users, as well as the artwork.
As a result, if you are a paying subscriber, you can use the music for commercial use, such as posting the songs on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music. Free users can only post on social media with attribution and are not allowed to use the songs commercially. Regardless of which version you use, if you input your own lyrics, you retain ownership of that.
Music industry’s growing AI use will prompt policy changes defining acceptable AI applications. For example, recording Academy’s summer decision on AI-generated content shows how policy adapts to new music creation methods.
