Notes
Things learned in production, plus announcements for new releases and updates.
- Released 5th Album "ODD"
- Released EP "TECHNOPHOBIAS"
- How to build a chord progression: use eight chords instead of a four-chord loopStock four-chord loops sound flat. Use eight or more chords before the repeat, add one or two reharmonization techniques, and end on a resolution. With example requests.
- How to get odd meters (7/8, 11/8) across in Suno: upload a bed with drumsOdd meters such as 7/8 and 11/8 don't come through when written as text. How to upload a bed that includes drums, and the Suno settings to use.
- How to write Suno's Style field: describe the feel, not chord namesChord names in Style, Exclude or Lyrics are ignored. What to write instead, how long to make it, and why Variety should be Off.
- Composing with Claude Code: ask in words, get a chord progression and MIDITell Claude Code "something wistful, lo-fi" and it builds a chord progression, then writes MIDI and a check MP3. The flow, from setup.
- Listen to the backing MP3 before Suno: a two-minute chord checkBefore uploading to Suno, listen to the chords-only MP3 and fix the progression. Suno won't rescue a weak one, so judge here.
- Generate several takes in Suno and pick: when one misses, revisit the backing track firstEven a good backing track doesn't mean every take follows it. Generate several, keep the best, and when one misses, fix the backing track before touching Style.
- Getting a Claude-built chord progression out as MIDIA progression you ask Claude for comes out as MIDI (.mid) as well as MP3. Where the files land, and how to hand over chords you've already chosen.
- Setting up Emocute Studio and making your first song (Mac / Windows)From unzipping to the first render: Python and audio tools, launching Claude Code, the startup check and a test render, with the Mac/Windows differences.
- Emocute Studio v8.5.0 released
- Emocute Studio v8.4.20 released
- How to make Suno follow your chord progressionWriting chord names in Style or Lyrics does not make Suno follow them. The only way a progression reaches Suno is as audio. How to make the bed track, and the Suno settings to use.
