I Spent 1 Hour Creating Music with AI and THIS Happened!

Full video transcript

It’s pretty wild how far AI’s come in just the past few years with generating music. I’m going to see if I can create a song with a piano melody and using Suno AI to turn that into a full song starting with my piano. Let’s see what happens.

All right, so I’m now on Suno. I’m in the create section of the app and I’m using version four where I’m going to upload the audio of the piano you just heard play by selecting the file, save without trimming.

So now it’s uploading it. I can add an image. It’s also generating an image. So this is the image that I generated and so now I have uploaded success. So we see here cover song.

And I’m going to create. So what this cover is supposed to do is allow you to change the style of the song but keep the melody. So let’s see what the piano I provided to Suno will turn into with initially just adding some style of music, ethereal backbeat playing with the piano.

Well, that’s pretty cool. Let’s see what the next one looks like. Say add in a violin drum bass. Create. And at this point, I’m just going to experiment and see what resonates with me and maybe turn this into video. We’ll see how things go.

Cool picture. All right, we’ll try one more. I did like that one. So immediately, I’m not a big fan of how the rest of the music came in to that song. And so I’m going to continue to change the style, but as you can see, the was created by me, added into Suno and I’m going to aim for a two-minute song or so. I like that vibe. Not a fan.

So now what I’m going to do is I’m going to take that idea for the song and I took this image right here. Now I’m going to go to Sora.com. We can make a little loop for a music video.

So you can see I’ve had a few other things in my Sora account. What I want to do is go down to describing my video. And I’m going to upload an image, check all the necessary boxes, made glowing centralized camera with keys subtle glow, and then I’m going to create the video. It’s going to take a couple minutes and ideally it will produce the shot that I’m thinking of that I can loop and I can then run back through Descript with the video and master the song using BandLab and their AI mastering tool before finishing the project in Descript. Then we’ll have a video ready to share. That’s kind of dope.

All right. So now I’m going to say make this a short loop. I’m going to loop it and you can see in the upper right-hand corner the activity it is generating here. So there we have a loop which I’m going to download the video. Now that I’m downloading it, I’m jumping back. So I’m going to download this as a wave audio.

First thing I’m going to do before I go to creating on any sort of video with this that I would put up on YouTube, I’m going to now go over to BandLab, the tool that I’m using to help with mastering. Upload the file. Then I’ll have multiple options here. I’m going to download it, save it to my BandLab because I will come back and reference it and be able to make additional edits in their digital audio workspace.

Now, I’ve got the loop, I’ve got the mastered song, time to jump into Descript and tie it all together. All right, now that I’m in Descript, I am going to upload the files that I need. This will start with the cover that I’ve mastered.

The file uploads and while it’s doing that on the right-hand side I’m going to select project and I want to add in another file to this project. The file I want to add is the loop. So I’m adding this in as a layer. And then next thing I’m going to do, show timeline which you can get to in the bottom. Now you can see I’ve got the loop. The loop will stop. So I will need to make multiple versions of said loop, copy and paste and just because this is a loop, it’s not going to change throughout the course of this video. Super thrilling stuff, I know. So I’m not going to bore you with this. Fast forward.

All right. And so we’ve gotten to the end of the road here. So what I’m going to do now is go back to the beginning. So now the song is playing. We go to the next step which is uploading it to place like YouTube, SoundCloud for sharing the content. For me, I’m making this music to listen to myself and I have distribution set up on Spotify as well which BandLab enables. I’m just going to do YouTube for now. So I can take this, export the video.

I’m going to export it to the max, high quality export. I’m going to do two things here actually. One is I’m going to make a thumbnail that is going to be based on the theme of this video. And I will use a vidIQ for the thumbnail. They have a thumbnail generator. I need to export the video of course to get that thumbnail. I’ll also be exporting this into YouTube.

So inside of vidIQ I’m going to go to thumbnails, selecting a video. It’s going to analyze the video for a minute or two and then it’s going to give me an interface where I can make modifications to this thumbnail. I’m going to call the song Dreams to Reality. So while it’s analyzing the video, designing the thumbnail, I’ll complete that. Then we’ll head on to YouTube for publishing there on our AI music channel, Darth Ender. So as we can see, multiple thumbnails.

So I just gave it the prompt describe the video and it’s making the changes from there. And it’s actually making those updates as you can see on the video on the image that I was selecting which I didn’t really like. So I’m going to say title is as we wait for that change to be made. Say make it much larger. One more edit that I’m going to want to make here once it’s done. That’s cool. I like this one. Here’s the winner.

We go to YouTube, upload the file, publish it. All right, so now I’m here in my Darth Ender YouTube channel for publishing AI musical experiments. I’m going to upload the video version of the loop that we’ve created. We see me uploading that video. I’m going to upload the thumbnail. I’m going to add it to the playlist and then I’m going to go through not made for kids, selecting anything that I’d want to do end screen wise or not. Now I can simply publish.

My video is going to be uploaded now on YouTube which we can see right here. So that is done on that front. I’m going to do one more thing. Let’s get this on to my Spotify channel. So I can listen without needing to go on YouTube to do that.

I’m going to need a Spotify cover which I’m going to use Canva for. I’m going to create a design. I’m going to make it a custom size, 3,000 by 3,000. I’ll add my thumbnail. I like this, Dreams to Reality. So now I’m going to download my thumbnail and head back on over to BandLab to distribute. But you will need a BandLab membership I believe. There’s a number of other platforms that you can look into.

Distribution through BandLab, get the process going by creating a release. Of course I need to upload my song first. So once I’m in my project, I’m going to make sure that I push this all the way through in my studio, change the name of the song, publish. Yeah, how would I classify this? I don’t know. Let’s call it lo-fi. Now it’s finishing the mastering, getting it ready for distribution. So now we’ll go back and begin the distribution process.

Distribute, try it now, create a release, select the song, add the track, Dreams to Reality, add my name on the piano. Make sure that I’m added. No lyrics. Time to click next, upload our cover file, click next, submit release and the release has been submitted. So in a few days we’ll see the notification if it gets submitted to Spotify and I’m also distributing to a bunch of additional platforms.

Now our song is now on YouTube and we’re ready to roll.
