I've explored SUNO thoroughly, and enjoy letting it do what it does, but getting it to do what I say is difficult, and seemingly increasingly. The sounds used for any electronic music have become so familiar to my ears the results really do sound like the same 'producer' is making similar music. I follow prompt blogs and read the SUNO help, but too often results are nothing like the prompt, way, way off. I must imagine somewhere at SUNO et al Towers exacting controls are possible, but they're not filtering down quick enough to prosumers. I am a top tier paying customer but have just downgraded one level - the 'studio' and stem options are not there yet.
I happened across waves dot coms ILLUGEN and it provides something of high quality that I don't see elsewhere, that is the ability to produce specific singular/solo sounds consistently, like drum loops, bassline, which as a music professional is often more useful than a finished mix.
I guess that shows the difference between being a fun "toy" that can spit out a complete song and being a useful tool that really follows your prompts and lets you manipulate things in a very granular way. I haven't heard of Illugen before but I can see how it can be useful to generate specific sounds first and have more control over your tracks. I played with Meta's "Audiobox" a while back, which also lets you prompt specific sound effects, but that's the extent of my knowledge on that front.

Thanks for sharing your process!

Lightning Over Cotton Candy -> liked it a lot.
I used suno before some days on my old lyrics (that were butchered by chatgpt)
Do you like it?

Hey that's cool. Must be a thrill to hear your thoughts/words laid over a track like that, huh?
Thank you! Yes i don’t know to play musical instruments, but i write lyrics!! It was liberating!
