Hey Reader,

Have you ever used a Splice vocal and then realized you’ve heard it in other tracks too?

That happened to me more than once. And honestly, it always kills the magic.

Last week, I tried something different: I let AI create vocals for my Tech House track.

👉 Suno is an AI tool that can generate full songs from a text prompt—but also lets you add vocals or instruments to your own snippets.

Here’s exactly how I did it (and what worked, what didn’t).

Step 1 – Upload your track

I started with a 45-second snippet: part of the break + part of the drop.
Suno analyzed it and gave me a full breakdown: BPM, mood, instruments, even the vibe, surprisingly on point.

Step 2 – First results (too generic)

I used the auto-lyrics function. The outcome?
Generic EDM-style vocals. Not my vibe at all.

That’s when I realized: just like with ChatGPT
​generic prompts = generic results.

So I tried again:

• Looked at common Tech House phrases.
• Asked ChatGPT for inspiration.
• Wrote something simple but effective:

"Take me higher,
Lift me higher,
Feel me higher,
…Higher!"

Step 3 – Style Description & settings

Suno lets you describe your track’s style in detail.

Here’s what I used (based on the analysis + my own input):

A high-energy electronic dance music track with a driving beat and a prominent synth melody. The tempo is fast, around 128 BPM. The key is minor, creating a slightly dark but energetic mood. The instrumentation primarily consists of electronic drums, a deep bassline, and a lead synthesizer playing a repetitive, catchy melody. There are also vocal samples that are chopped and looped, acting as rhythmic elements rather than carrying lyrical content. The production is clean and punchy, with a strong emphasis on the low end and a bright, clear synth sound. The song structure is repetitive, typical of EDM, with a main groove that evolves subtly through the addition and subtraction of layers. There are no traditional chord progressions, but rather a consistent bassline and melodic motif. The vocal samples are processed with a slight reverb and delay, giving them a spacious quality.

And here’s how I set the options:

• Weirdness: 0% → I didn’t want random or “weird” results; I needed something usable.
• Style Influence: 100% → To make sure the vocals matched the style I described.
• Audio Influence: 100% → To keep the vocals locked to my original 45-second snippet and not change the overall vibe of the track.

Even then, the results weren’t always perfect.
Sometimes it matched really well, sometimes it felt off.
I think it’s about testing different prompts until you find what works.

Step 4 – Extracting the stems

After Suno generated a full song, I isolated the vocals with the stem separation tool.

Not perfect—sometimes synths slipped into the vocal stem—but still good enough to work with.

The deal (costs, pros & cons)

💰 Costs: €9/month for the Pro plan (what I used).
✅ Pros: unique vocals, quick inspiration, nobody else has them.
❌ Cons: not always clean, and it takes time to figure out the right prompts.

My final result

After about an hour of experimenting, I had a vocal line that actually worked well with my track.

It wasn’t perfect—but it was fresh, original, and gave me something new to build on.

I’m not 100% sure I’ll use Suno in every track.
But it showed me one thing: experimenting with tools like this can spark ideas I’d never find on Splice.

Wouldn’t it be cool to drop a track knowing the vocals are 100% yours?

And now I'd like to know:
​Have you tried AI tools in your productions yet?

That’s it for now. Have a great week!

Stay Productive,
