Nice BiaB session guys and great use of the Western Swing vibe.
It's a genre we played for years.
It made Bud want to dust of his upright.
Yep, the fact that this forced me to use one of those styles is a big plus. smile

Hey, we reckon Suno doesn’t have a southern accent option?
Actually, Suno probably has an excellent southern accent option.

The original Suno vocal was really, really good.

SynthesizerV? Not so much, and I was too lazy to try simulating it. Maybe if I get really bored... wink

Excellent job all around. The technicalities of the mashup are impressive and thanks for including it.
No doubt a lot of work and effort involved.
Thanks!

But it was actually less effort than you might suspect. My main roadblock tends to be lyrics, but I started out with rewritten lyrics. Getting a backing track in BiaB is easy, even when starting from scratch.

Normally, I'll start with a chord progression, and write a melody to it. I did that here, but this time I went back and changed the progression if it didn't fit how I wanted the melody to go. That's not part of my normal process.

Once I gave up trying to duplicate the feel of the original Suno song, things got a lot simpler. And since the harmony is rhythmically the same as the melody, that also went much faster than expected.

So while it required work - don't all songs? - it got a lot easier once I gave up trying to do things the hard way. laugh

Thanks for your comments!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
