Every Monday, we come together to share tips, lessons, and advice that help musicians like you level up their music production, marketing, and distribution. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, this is the place to swap ideas, learn from others, and grow together.
Today, we’re diving into a topic we all face at some point: songwriting roadblocks. We’ve all experienced moments where the creative process just stalls, but luckily, AI tools are here to help you break through those blocks and keep your momentum going. Check out these four roadblocks and how you can use AI to overcome them and speed up your songwriting process!
We’ve all been there, staring at a blank page, feeling stuck, or just not being able to find that perfect melody or lyric. But what if there was a way to speed up your songwriting process and keep those creative juices flowing? Here are four common songwriting roadblocks and how you can use AI tools like Trackstars GPT and Suno to bust through them and make magic happen. Let’s dive in!
1. Writer’s Block: Can’t Find the Words? Let AI Spark Ideas!
You’ve got a killer melody in your head, but the lyrics just aren’t coming together. Instead of letting writer’s block kill your momentum, bring in Trackstars GPT to help.
Actionable Tip: Start by inputting a few keywords, phrases, or themes into the AI, whether it’s the vibe, emotions, or message you want to convey in your song. Trackstars GPT can spit out multiple lyric ideas, giving you a range of verses or hooks to choose from. This isn't about replacing your creativity but giving it a jumpstart. Even if the AI doesn’t nail it perfectly, it’ll give you something to work with. You can tweak, edit, and personalize those lines to make them truly yours. The key here is to keep moving and not get stuck in overthinking.
🎶 Pro Tip: Use this strategy to create multiple versions of your lyrics. Sometimes stepping back and seeing different iterations will help you find the right fit.
2. Slow Songwriting Process: Need to Write Faster? AI Can Handle the Drafts!
Let’s be real: sometimes songwriting can take forever because we’re too focused on getting it perfect the first time around. But there’s a smarter way to work.
Actionable Tip: Use Trackstars GPT to quickly create rough drafts of your verses, choruses, or bridges. You don’t have to get it perfect right away—just get the ideas down. You can always come back to refine and polish. This allows you to stay in a creative flow without getting bogged down in perfectionism. Imagine being able to knock out the skeleton of a song in 20 minutes, then spend your quality time making it shine.
🎶 Pro Tip: Set a timer for 20-30 minutes and use AI to get a rough song draft done. You’ll be amazed at how much faster you can finish a track when you just focus on getting ideas down instead of obsessing over every word.
3. Struggling with Melodies: Find the Perfect Tune with AI Support
Maybe you’ve got some solid lyrics, but you can’t find the right melody to go along with them. This can really slow down your process—until now.
Actionable Tip: Use tools like Suno to generate multiple melody ideas based on the mood or vibe of your lyrics. You can input your theme, tempo, or genre preferences, and let AI offer melody and chord progression options. Even if it doesn’t give you the final melody, it can inspire a new direction or unique twist that you hadn’t considered before. It’s like having a virtual jam session to keep your momentum going.
🎶 Pro Tip: Combine melody ideas from Suno with your own tweaks to create something original. Sometimes, mixing AI-generated melodies with your own creative input gives you a fresh, unique sound.
4. Overthinking Lyrics: Don’t Get Stuck on Perfection—Use AI for Multiple Options
Ever find yourself second-guessing every single line you write? This can drag out the creative process and leave you feeling stuck. AI can change that.
Actionable Tip: When you find yourself overthinking the lyrics, let Trackstars GPT generate a few variations of the lines you’re struggling with. Instead of sweating over a single phrase, look at multiple options side by side. This way, you can pick the ones that stand out or mix and match ideas to create something that resonates. The goal is to stop nitpicking and start producing. Once you have multiple options on the table, it becomes easier to choose or refine what works best for your vision.
🎶 Pro Tip: Use AI-generated lyrics as placeholders. This keeps the momentum going, and you can always come back to finesse the details later. Keep your creative flow steady instead of letting perfectionism grind it to a halt.
These are just a few ways you can use AI tools like Trackstars GPT and Suno to speed up your songwriting process, overcome creative blocks, and boost your creativity. Remember, AI is not here to replace you—it’s here to help you work faster and smarter, so you can spend more time focusing on the art of your music.
