How To Use Your AI Suno Project With a Nashville Recording Studio

After putting your prompts or lyrics in Suno and experimenting for a while, you finally have a country song you’re happy with.

So why use a Nashville music producer Nashville recording studio at all?

For starters many music publishers and A & R people refuse to sign AI songs. Many refuse to even listen.

And the largest songwriting organization in Nashville has instituted an AI Policy that virtually ensures your AI generated song will go nowhere.

Here are various reasons songwriters who come to Nashville Trax to record give, regarding why they need us:

  1. AI portions of a project are automatically rejected by the Library of Congress. Those portions can’t be copyrighted. They want real singers and musicians as they can be copyrighted.
  2. To get what they really want. Suno AI has a mind of its own. FOR EXAMPLE: The songwriter wants the singer to go up an octave on the chorus but THE AI engine may not cooperate. Or maybe that third chorus needs to happen just after the bridge but Suno decided to go off on a tangent. And often Suno generates weird artifacts, ghost vocals, etc. strange pronunciations that need to be cleaned up.
  3. AI has a certain “fake” sound to it. Real singers and real musicians will impart the missing human element
  4. To avoid rejection. Many A&R reps in Nashville and elsewhere summarily reject anything to do with AI as soon as they recognize it. AI generated music is a direct threat to their and their peers’ livelihood, they aren’t going to sign it, listen to it or promote it.
  5. To sing it themself. Songwriters hire us to provide human musicianship then add their vocals.
  6. For originality and quality. AI can provide a demo song that is catchy but, hey, haven’t I heard that same hook before with different words? That guitar solo, isn’t it nearly identical to the solo on a hit you know. AI builds on existing hit songs. Therefore it basically plagiarizes that content so much of it may sound cool, but isn’t original.

For one or more of those reasons, you may find yourself seeking a producer to help take your songs to the next level.

The first thing you should do is approach the studio with either a “you guys are the pro’s, do your thing” mentality or a very clear list of what you want. Example: Not simply, “I want you guys to record this again.” Rather, “I want this with a female singer instead of male, a short guitar solo inserted after the bridge and the chorus needs another repeat after the solo.”

Second, list the things you like about the AI version. “I love the intro.” “I love the AI singer’s tone” etc.

Third, the things you don’t like: “I hate the bridge, it’s too long.”

Fourth, is anything missing? “I’d love to hear some banjo!”

This will give the producer a road map to follow.

If the project is still available go back and download the stems, even if its just the instrumental track and the vocal separated. The producer may find them useful anyway to help determine the exact notes or chords played on a certain track.

Once you hire the producer, give him your project and notes, then back off a few days so they have time to write charts and call musicians. At that point it’s appropriate to request a rough ETA.
