What happens when you need to merge Afrobeats, Detroit pop, and vintage highlife without losing your creative momentum? Sign up for Suno here: https://suno.com/?utm_source=Social&utm_medium=YTSF&utm_campaign=InTheCut
In this episode of In The Cut, we take you inside 3525 Studios in Detroit to hang with Dara, Charity, Drey Skonie, and Earlly Mac. Watch as the crew uses Suno to instantly spark a complex, multi-genre foundation, allowing them to skip the daunting process of finding sounds and keep the studio energy high.
The team generated a track with horns that sounded like they had "a soul to it," then used the stem extraction feature to isolate the drums and instruments. From there, they put their own stamp on the record by layering live bass from Drey Skonie and writing original lyrics over the musical bed.
It's a masterclass in using Suno to skip the lengthy production setup so you can focus on the performance. As Dara explains: "Suno is a huge game changer because I will never be stuck again."
