Another of the experiment with the new "Voice" feature in Suno. Not the most successful and varies from the first part to the more up-tempo, heavier second part. Cloning can be successful if the uploaded audio clip is similar (genre / style) to the song to be featured. It is a beta release, and may be better in the long term.

Apart from this I love this track, which uses my original melodies in the first part but does develop them in the second part. Hope you like it.

Another old song, with my own voice cloned

I covered this old song of mine to experiment with Suno v5.5 and the new "Voice" feature, uploading a 30 sec audio clip for Suno to clone my own voice. Ths can be used just like the older "Persona" feature, which are still available as stored voices.

Hope you like this version.

Now appearing, my own voice cloned with the technology introduced by Suno AI, in version 5.5 of it's very excellent software.

Yep, you heard it here, though I spent a lot of time uploading acapella versions of me singing songs , to Suno. IN order to hear those songs with their original memories. This was done in v3.5; and gave a very good attempt at cloning. Although, it did alter the vocal to match the genre, e.g. added a broad western accent for Country songs.

But this is an improved version, though this beta version still might need different clones for some genres (????) and you have to prove the voice is yours by reading and uploading the exact phrase from on the screen at one point.

Still, we are promised it will get better - and I believe them - I think.

I do hope you like this, the lyrics are taken without editing from a poem (by me) although some sections may be repeated, especially at the end of the song.

The story here, comes from the fact that I simply enjoy browsing thru 2nd hand bookshops.

Well, I guess I have to apologise - for dropping yet another new song (well a poem set to music really). I am completely carried away with this current project, educating myself (via AI agent) in the art of prompting Suno. Yes I know I have spent the last couple of years generating songs on Suno, however I still feel I am only at first base. AND..... Suno has just let V5.5 drop, which also has provided another major major advance in quality of the results and bought personalisation forward with three massive improvements to the tool set. So please bear with me over the next few days whilst I play with the new toolset and my improved understanding of prompting.

I was so pleased with the last posting (Faded Flowers) that I decided to try the same experiment again. In fact there is a good reason to work through both songs together, as they are both allegories for a failed/failing relationship. The difference is that (the experiment if you like) is that I have been taking lessons from an AI app in the practical use of Suno prompts. Although I have been learning by using Suno and picking up pointers here and there, I feel that I have not been using the skills of arranging/recording/producing/etc. I have had no experience with these roles. So I sought help from the closest source. I think it has made a difference with both tracks which I am really pleased with. But enough of that; I do hope that you like the track.

Fading Flowers by John Dyhouse

Using my current favourite "Suno" persona but beginning to change the prompts for effect, which unfortunately changes the voice. I think this must be close to the most generated versions I have been thru' for a song - almost. I went thru many as I was trying to get some specific effects, but in the end picked one of the early iterations. I am not an experienced engineer/arranger and maybe do not find the right words to effect the nuances. A friendly AI has offered to let me into some "secrets" of effective prompting - We have made a date...

I am quite pleased with this track but may upload another in a slightly different genre in the next few days. Some of my persaverence did pay off, but too much would not be a good idea. Anyway, hope you like this version.

WoW, I give in. I plead guilty,

I had been writing a few songs to a prompt, seem to be having a hard time writing to original themes; repeating myself, I guess. This one I guess could be called a "silly love song", and really tried to write something original. With The Beatles in mind, or was it Paul, I was struggling.

Finally, I gave Suno a structure for the lyric and described the theme of the lyric - leaving the content open, apart from the title. Of course it cam up with two lyrics, I was horrified with the first, simply a list of very poor metaphors. But the second looked as if it might be usable with some editing. I prompted for a demo using a recent "Persona" (a vocalist, genre and style; to hear the lyric within a setting. I was astounded with how it all worked out, and the more I listened, I decided it was exactly what I wanted. Something original (as far as I know), with just the music to complement the lyrics.

Sorry, but this is AI at it's best, as far as I am concerned. Not really my song but I am accepting it as something I helped to bring out of the process. Please listen to the song and forget the source. I really hope you like it!

From a track originally recorded by myself and worked at with v3.5. This has now been remastered with v5. I love this track and hope that you will too.

I hope that it is obvious that the lyrics are all mine. Simple rhymes, plain words - it is a very old song - early sixties is my best guess but Suno has made a great job of the backing for me.
