I used AI lyrics and like you, I was happy with the first pass, but like you, did a lot of clean up. But here is what is spooky, just looking at your lyrics they look a lot like mine! Even some of the phases are identical.

I will be posting soon, so tell me what you think. The hardest part for me was getting the lyrics to match the melody line. This took a lot of tweaking, but since I sang it I was able to adjust where needed.

Otherwise, your arrangement sounds good. I honestly could not tell this was BIAB or a synth vocalist. I assume you have written songs in the past. So tell me does the application of all this AI make these songs any more or less satisfying to you?


My legal team will be in touch with you for copyright infringement....

Where did the rest of my comments go? Give me a few minutes to rewrite it

Were you writing a similar idea? None of my ideas use repeated lines. I have a few more I'm going to work into songs.

I had to play the melody in with midi. A convoluted process but I understand that the pro version of SV is a plugin.

The satisfaction level is comparable because it's still an effort to get the final result.

I tried several different ways to get the vocal melody in to the synth. In the end...I put my instrumental track in my DAW. I then sang.... An amazingly horrific job I will admit.... To simply get the groove. I then used my astounding keyboard playing skills to play the melody in to a midi track. From there I went to the synth with inputs of the midi melody and the instrument reference. I believe the pro version works as a plug-in.

Anyway, that's my process for this.

Joanne is working on adding more details to the app including rewrites and syllable count per line. Currently, IMHO, the first draft is what I consider to be extremely basic with a lot of cliche rhymes.

Thanks for commenting

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
