How Suno AI is Changing the Game for Independent Musicians

In reality, using Suno AI to assist with music creation is, for the most part, comparable to a musician spending a full month in a professional recording studio, tracking each individual instrument without interruptions from a demanding 40-hour workweek. The recordings made with Suno AI can match or even surpass the quality of traditional recordings, both in instrumentation and musicianship. While each instrument can be recorded the old-fashioned way, Suno AI significantly speeds up the process, delivering much of the same quality that would normally require far more time.

Most independent musicians face limited time and resources, often juggling recording with financial responsibilities and day jobs. This is where AI tools like Suno can have a truly positive impact.

If you’re willing to take a deeper look at what AI can do for independent artists and music fans alike, you’ll see it’s not necessarily about writing music or lyrics for us—though some musicians might use it that way. Instead, it’s an assistant tool that helps create higher quality recordings in a shorter amount of time. Personally, I would choose to spend a month in a physical studio recording a song if I could. However, balancing a 40-hour workweek and maintaining financial stability while recording my music makes that impossible.

I’m not looking for AI to write my music or lyrics—I enjoy that creative process and the stories I tell through my songs. What I do rely on AI for is replicating my original recordings as closely as possible. Suno AI’s cover song tool, for example, does an excellent job of this. Often, the guitar parts sound nearly identical, with only slight variations—and with much better recording quality. This tool has been amazing for me. It allows me to take old recordings, upload them to the AI cover song tool, and come out with a final product that sounds like I spent a full month in the studio.

One day, when I achieve financial stability and can afford to go into a professional recording studio, I would be 100% interested in re-recording one of the songs I used the AI cover tool for—to see how closely I can match the quality it generated in a professional environment.
