SONO AI - Love it, Hate it, Tool or Trash it?

If you never resonated with it yourself, when you were creating it? Find a way to breathe human life into your music. Do vocal takes with intention. Create a mood in the room. Capture samples from your outside world with a crappy tape recorder and splice them in the track. Capture moods you are truly in at that moment. Capture moments with people grooving together in the same room, never underestimate the power of humans grooving together in the same room. Move real air. Capture memorable moments - good bad ugly sad angry and all in between. Make lyrics that mean something to you, remind you of moments in time, or of people, specific things, does not matter if the listener knows what you are even talking about, they will paint their own picture. Scrapbook your life in your song. This is the stuff that will breathe life into your music and make it unique - not copy / pasting one guitar line to repeat 32 other times, not using AI to write your entire song. I get it, not every piece of music is meant to be from the heart or meant to matter that much - sometimes its just business and thats what it is that day, and thats fun too, and even then this is relevant to some degree. But if you are trying to make music that resonates with people, make it resonate with yourself first. Make it hold memories of your life, of interactions with other people, like a photo album would. Record unique moments and relationships and human errors and vulnerability that cannot be replicated by a machine. That's what will set your song apart and make it translate. That's what will help your song mean something to you. This doesn't have to be done dramatically either, it can be done to varying degrees. Even just sprinkling a bit of this in goes a long way.

first time speaking here. My name is Kayã and I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷 Currently working on businesses and developing ideas in the music industry and outside of it as well. Looking forward to exchanging experiences and having productive conversations with you all. Much love everyone!

I received my Mixing & Mastering Cheat Sheet Binder today, so now it’s time to see if this journey can help turn me into a decent mixing engineer. 🎚️🎶 I’m hoping this breaks things down in a simple, easy-to-understand way for somebody like me who is still learning and growing in this field. Right now, I’m basically “Mixing & Mastering for Dummies” level 😂 but every professional was once a beginner. First off, thank you for being professional and delivering exactly what was advertised. I will always support good business practices because good business still matters. 💯 I’m going to keep everybody updated on my mixing journey as I learn, grow, and improve. But let me warn y’all now… when I post some of my first mixes, they will probably be HOT GARBAGE 😂🔥🗑️ and I’m okay with that because growth comes from putting the work in. I need honest feedback. If you hear something wrong, tell me. If you see me making mistakes, correct me and show me the better way. I’m not the type of person that gets offended by honesty — I use honesty as fuel to improve, sharpen my skills, and become better at my craft. Every expert started somewhere, and this is part of my process. Thank you again from Mail Mann & the Cant Stop Music Family! 🎶🚂
