New Sunno AI Feature: Creating Cover Songs

AI Tool(s) Used

• Sunno AI Music Generator: This AI tool allows users to create music, transform existing songs, and now generate cover versions of songs in different genres (e.g., from hip-hop to rock, country, EDM, etc.).

Description of Result

The creator explores a new feature in Sunno AI that allows users to reimagine their original songs as cover songs in different musical genres. In the video, the creator tests this feature on one of their own ’90s hip-hop tracks about the 99-cent store and transforms it into a rock version. The result is mixed, with some aspects of the feature not meeting the creator’s expectations.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Exploring the New Feature: The creator explains the new “Covers” feature introduced by Sunno AI. Users can reimagine their songs in a different genre by simply right-clicking on a track and selecting the “Create Cover” option.
2. Testing the Feature: The creator uploads their original track (a ’90s hip-hop song) and selects a rock genre cover to be generated.
3. Reviewing the Output: The AI generates a rock version of the song, which the creator plays and critiques, expressing disappointment with the first iteration but noting improvement in the second version.
4. Comparison: The creator compares the AI-generated cover to manually creating a new version of the song by copying lyrics and using prompts to generate a different genre, finding little difference between the two.
5. Verdict: The feature is seen as useful in some contexts (quick genre switching), but overall, the creator expresses ambivalence, feeling that it doesn’t add significant value beyond what Sunno already offers.

Tips & Tricks

• Use AI for Quick Genre Shifts: If you need to quickly produce different versions of a song in various genres, Sunno’s cover feature can be helpful.
• Manual Tweaks Might Be Necessary: AI-generated covers may not always hit the mark; consider refining the results manually for better quality.
• Experiment with Different Genres: Test various genres to see which transformations work best for your specific song.

Annotation

This video highlights the potential of AI tools like Sunno to streamline the music creation process, particularly when it comes to genre-shifting existing songs. However, it also reveals the limitations of such tools—while the technology makes it easy to transform a song into a different genre, the output may not always meet expectations. As AI continues to evolve, musicians may find this tool useful for quick adaptations, though manual interventions may still be necessary for more polished results.
