Oh that's a nice one. I think you are on to something that if you want to go beyond push button output you really need to think holistically about what you want to achieve.

My experiments taught me that it is an instrument that is easy to approach but hard to master right now at least.

It's kind of weird because you have to play it through writing text, which is super strange.

Everything I have done previously has been very in the moment with keyboards or guitars or whatever. With this I had to put a lot more thought in ahead of time, and try to put myself in the position of the generator and how it might take my prompts and convert them.

There is certainly quite some thinking that has to go on. How to describe the sound you are looking for is a little bit unusual.

I am finding it quite fascinating anyway, and I really believe it can be tasteful if done right and as the tools improve.

As far as covering specific artists, it isn't something I am attempting, it's more about the feel for me. I imagine people who do that have their own tricks and techniques.

As far as I know, Suno blocks any mention of specific artists. Probably you can jailbreak it, but I don't know about that.
