I released an album with 14 songs a week ago and one single a few days later with Distrokid, and it is still not on YouTube. Yesterday I released an EP with 4 songs, and today it was on my YouTube artist channel. Did you try to release music recently? Maybe it is working again with YouTube.

I recently found this free site where you can get the style prompts for a multitude of artists. Look though the various genres and when you see an artist that interests you, click on the image and the style pops up, ready to copy and load into Suno. I have played with it by using Claude to generate songs in the style of several artists and the end results are very close to the real artists. As I am building out my Afro Beat library, in the World/Folk section I found this African artist called Fela Kuti. Never heard of him myself but but using the style prompt and a song via Claude I generated this (almost 8 minutes long!) track. Site is: https://soundkey.io/tools/artist-blueprint

103K views in just 48 hours… Honestly, it still doesn’t feel real. I never thought I could achieve results like this simply by creating AI-generated music. It took me six months to finally see my first real results, and there were many moments when staying consistent felt extremely difficult. I’m not sharing this to brag. I just want to show you that it’s possible and that I genuinely believe everyone here can succeed. The biggest difference for me was discipline. At the beginning, it’s hard to keep going when you’re not seeing any results, but you have to trust the process and stay consistent. Your results may not come immediately, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come. Sometimes, it’s simply a matter of time. Keep working, keep learning, and don’t give up.

If you are someone like me who is an audiophile, you will notice that there are issues that arise when making music using Suno AI. And if you are new to Suno or have been doing it awhile, this should appeal to everyone. The Dreaded 7:59: If your song you created ends up 7 minutes and 59 seconds, that means that Suno hallucinated, and that Suno created a neverending song that gets cut off at the threashold of 7 minutes and 59 seconds. It is best to either pick version two, or create a new batch of songs. Song Came Out Too Short: If your track came out too short such as less than two minutes, especially instrumentals, sometimes its best to use Extend to increase the duration of the track. However, if it doesn't, then extend usually isn't enough. Sometimes it's best to do a fresh create instead. If you are using lyrics though, you can control how long a track is based on the length of your lyrics. The duration slider I wouldn't recommend because just about at every moment, it cuts off the song in the middle. Unless you plan on fading it out, I wouldn't use it. Pops and Improper Fade Out: I use a free tool (25 years so far) that I been using called Audacity to handle this, but majority of the time, you will hear a pop or click in the beginning of your song and/or the song cut out in the middle of a fade out. You can use audacity to do a proper fade in to remove that pop and click at the beginning as well as fade out the song properly. This can also be used to remove the Suno metadata when exporting your wav file. It also has a ton of other tools such as editing help remove sections you are not happy with, and you have more control over your song. Listen To The Full Song: Sometimes listening to part of the song isn't enough. I had rare moments where a good bit of the beginning and middle sounded great, but then sometime in the middle of the song a hallucination took place where the voice or sound was locked, causing it to go REEEEEEEEEEEE the rest of the song. Shit. I had moments the entire track was like that. Don't assume your songs came out okay until you hear the entire track.

Many independent artists have recently reported that their albums are appearing on other streaming platforms but are not being published to YouTube Music. (Newletter subscribers should already have this in their email https://aiguerrilla.com/p/distrokid-releases-are-not-appearing-on-youtube-music) This seemed especially common around the Firstt of this year/ New Year and the Fourth of July weekend. Based on what I have observed over the past year, delays like this appear to happen more frequently around holidays and weekends. It can sometimes seem as though YouTube Music temporarily slows down or stops processing new album deliveries during these periods. At this point, I cannot confirm exactly what causes the delay. As far as I know, the issue does not appear to originate with DistroKid. The release may be delivered successfully to other platforms while remaining unavailable on YouTube Music, which suggests that the delay may be occurring on YouTube’s side. However, without access to the internal delivery systems, there is no way to say that with certainty. Fortunately, there is a simple workaround that has been successful for me on multiple occasions.
