Here are some important things to keep in mind as AI beatmaker:

1. Use AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: AI can help you come up with ideas, sounds, and patterns. But your own style and choices make your beats unique. Use AI to support your creativity, not take it over.

2. Keep Your Music Original: Don’t copy other artists. Make sure the beats and samples you use (even from AI) are not just imitating other people’s work. Try to make something new that’s your own.

When you make music with Suno, you can download your song as either a WAV file or an MP3 file. But which one should you pick? Let’s break down the differences in a simple way.

What is a WAV File?

• WAV files hold music in a big, uncompressed way.
• This means the sound keeps all its detail.
• The files are usually much larger.
• They take up more storage space on your computer or phone.
• WAV is best when you want the highest sound quality, like for editing or making changes to the song.

What is an MP3 File?

AI platforms like Suno and Udio have changed music production by letting creators generate, edit, and extract high-quality stems—vocals, drums, bass, and more—from AI-made tracks with just a few clicks. But even these cutting-edge tools introduce artifacts, and understanding how to handle them is key for any AI producer.

How Stem Splitting Works in Suno and Udio

• Suno: After generating music, you can use Suno’s Song Editor to split tracks into up to 12 stems—including vocals, drums, bass, synths, guitar, and others. Stems can be previewed and downloaded, allowing deep remixing or further DAW processing.
• Udio: Udio also provides access to stems, often praised for clean vocal/instrument separation, especially in some genres. Some users find Udio’s stem quality more consistent than Suno’s, though Suno’s is rapidly improving.

Making beats with AI is super cool and fast, but mixing is what really makes them sound awesome. Here are some easy steps to help your AI beats stand out:

1. Adjust the Volume for Each Part

Start by fixing the volume for every part of your beat. AI usually gives you stems (each sound by itself), like the drum, the bass, and the hi-hats.

Turn up the drums so they’re easy to hear. The drums are the main part of most hip hop beats.

Some beatmakers seem to earn money without even trying. But what are they really doing? They are always changing.

When you change, you might lose some fans. Your current fans like you just the way you are. If you do something different, some of them won’t like it and will stop following you. That can feel sad.

You might think, “I worked so hard to get these fans, I don’t want to lose them.” But if you never change, you will only keep the same fans. That means your music career stops growing.

Some people using Suno 4.5+ have noticed something. That is, this version often adds a lot of reverb to the songs.

What is Reverb?

Reverb is a sound effect. It makes music sound like it was made in a big room or hall. Sometimes, too much reverb can make the singing or instruments sound far away or fuzzy.

Why does Suno 4.5+ do this?

• Sometimes, AI thinks adding more reverb sounds “fancy” or “professional,” especially for popular styles of music.
• The computer model in Suno might be set to add extra reverb by default, so songs feel bigger or more “epic.”

What can you do about it?

• If your song has too much reverb, you can use music software to fix it. Programs like iZotope Ozone or other audio editors can help reduce the effect.
• If you use stems (which are separate tracks for each part of the song), you can remove the reverb using plugins like Dereverb.

If you care about good sound and clear music, you might already know ways to mix music and make it sound better.

Recently, creating music with AI has become increasingly common.

Music generation AI tools are incredibly convenient-just enter a prompt, and a song is produced… or so it might seem. In my case, though, I mostly use my own music as input. Rather than leaving everything to AI from scratch, I feed the phrases, beats, and melodies I’ve created into the AI, and let it expand or arrange them. So, even when I’m using AI, there’s still a degree of my own style left in the final product.

Making videos for YouTube is fun, but it comes with some problems. One big problem is copyright claims from music companies. Rick Beato, a popular YouTuber, talked about this in a recent video. He explained how music companies use YouTube’s Content ID system to take money from video creators—even if the creators use only a small part of a song.

Why Is This a Problem?

YouTube’s Content ID is supposed to protect people who make music. But often, it goes too far. Content ID sometimes blocks videos, takes away ad money, or even removes videos for using just a few seconds of music.

I distribute through Distrokid. I have an ISRC. I seem to not have ISWC. What is it? Is it normal to not have it?

ISRC: What You Have

• ISRC (International Standard Recording Code): This is a unique code that identifies a particular recording (the audio file or track) of a song. Every time a song is recorded, be it a studio version, live performance, cover, or remix, it receives a new ISRC.
• Music distributors and ISRCs: Music distributors, like Distrokid, automatically assigns an ISRC to each track you upload. This is essential for tracking streams, sales, and ensuring artists get paid for each specific recording.

ISWC: What You Don’t Have (Yet)

• ISWC (International Standard Musical Work Code): This is a unique, permanent code that identifies the composition itself, the underlying music and/or lyrics, regardless of who records or performs it. Each song as a composition gets one ISWC, no matter how many different versions or recordings exist.

Getting stuck when making music is super common. Sometimes your mind goes blank, and you just can’t think of what to make next. That’s called a “creative block.” But guess what? AI can help you break through it.

Let’s see how tools like Suno and Udio make things easier for music creators:
