By uploading the full audio mix and instructing Suno strictly to preserve my arrangement, guitar parts, chords, lyrics, and vocals and melody—while only, mixing, and mastering—essentially using Suno as an advanced re-amping/remixing tool only. Since the core creative elements (structure, riffs, lyrics, vocal delivery) are all mine from the BiaB wave, the output stays fundamentally my song exactly as I perform it. Yes, those licks are not super great, but they are all mine.

Donny, I really enjoyed this. I have been using Suno exactly this way--where I am composer/arranger and Suno is the "hired players", playing precisely what I have written. As part of the on-going AI discussion, I have reservations posting projects like this on this forum, since the references to BIAB are kind of indirect. But since the composition was "built" in BIAB, then played by the Suno crowd at your direction, that seems legit (for this forum). I guess I'm still trying to sort it out. Anyway, I really liked your work and was glad I tuned in!

Hey hey, yea there are always going to be someone who says, wait, you used a rhyming dictionary, I call foul, you are cheating. Just makes it easier to love on them. Thanks for the kind words and play on. BTW, I use BiaB to busk, I love it, yea I don't need it, but man does it help. Donny
Donny, this is an outstanding masterpiece. Great vocal and lyrics. Outstanding guitar leads, super guitar chops and tone. Great backing band and mix. IMHO this is your best to date. Loved it

Wow, thank you so much MarioD for this incredible comment! That means the world coming from you—calling it my best to date and highlighting my vocals, lyrics, guitar leads, tone, and the Suno mix/backing band? I'm absolutely buzzing right now!
Thanks for doing this. And thanks for attempting to be as transparent as possible about how and what. That is really appreciated. There has been an awful lot of double-speak from some.
I believe I "misinterpreted/misread" your description at first - thinking the vocal was actually you. So this is not you singing, but instead, SUNO singing in your style?
Really like your song. Really like the write. You get a lot out of short phrases - sometime to emulate as a writer. And a very pleasant melody. Comfortable...
Your guitar is just what it should be. As musical as your song. Nice arrangement.
When I say these things, I hope I am actually complimenting YOU and not a bot. It all boils down to - we need this Showcase to show folks why they need BIAB...not "why they don't" - because then none of us will have a place to have our music heard.
I'd like to know where you busk. If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to stop by to listen...and throw a bill or two into your hat...
