Ask HN: AI Music Covers in 2026?

5•sexy_seedbox•3h ago
I asked this back in 2022:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32723101

What's the latest this year?

I'm not looking for SUNO generated AI Music, that type of AI slop is cheap and easy. I'm looking amazing voice + instrumentation cloning paired with human creative input.

I honestly wouldn’t call Suno “AI slop” at this point. Yes, there’s a ton of garbage coming out of it. But you can also create some really detailed and intricate songs if you do it right. I’ve made some really nice duets and trios for example. Cloned from a real voice, no… but I’m also not getting sued for stealing a real person’s voice.

And some of their upcoming features which aren’t generally known yet are going to be really useful to creators.

Slop is not about the quality of the rendering, it's about the lack of effort involved in generation. Generation is to creation as bubblegum is to food.

Not a fair analogy. It’s all about the effort invested. If I hand AI “write me something funny about my dog” and get the song from that, slop. If I carefully detail my own lyrics and define line by line how I want it rendered, not slop. Unless my lyrics are terrible :)

It’s a tool. The question is how you use it.

I'm a relatively serious pianist and have been composing music (mostly classical/contrapuntal) since I was a kid.

A while back I wrote an article about how a musician could leverage GenAI along with the final piece.

The process I used was: start by singing to develop a motif → notate sheet music and chord progression → use an arranger keyboard to flesh it out → then convert the arrangement using the cover feature in Suno.
