Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Matvid Pro AI YouTube channel. As you can hear from the sound of my voice, I'm pretty excited today because Suno V4 just dropped. That's right. One of the top two big AI music generation companies just had a major overhaul for their model, and I got early access to SUNO v4. I have to say, it's pretty darn good. You can expect improvements across the board, but. But there are still some of those little quirks that you might hear from the Suno architecture. Let's not waste any more time, though. First, I would like for you guys to take a listen to this Suno V4 song called DNA. It genuinely shocked me. Not perfect, mind you, but it's good. And by the way, this is a remaster of an old song, which we'll talk about later in the video. It's a new feature.
Say blood thicker than water but what about the tears Though.
It right through the cracks through the tears through the past still holding on to a love that just don't last Right down to the line through the height and the.
Clim Dinner table Like a un meeting Tension in the air Got more beef than Gordon Ramsay but we still all there Christmas photos looking perfect Instagram deceiving But behind them filtered smiles some hearts still grieving Got a brother like Kane But I ain't trying to able out every argument we have Feels like a bailout mom playing referee since 93 between me and pops man, that's ancient history like hieroglyphics our problem's prehistoric but that old man taught me chess now my move's more strategic they say I got his temper, his pride is strong Chin looking in the mirror like, damn, I'm turning into him Remember breaking curfew, climbing through windows Now I'm catching my own kid Life's funny how it goes full circle Like a family ring Passed down generations Building bridges over troubled conversations.
Like, dude, you're kidding me, right? It sounds so damn good. And like I said, that's a remaster of an old song. So that's not a natural Suno V4 generation again, which we'll get into, but it's still V4. Oh, man, it's just crazy how far AI generated music has come. This is mind bending, right? It's just. It sounds good. Like, I. I will listen to that song. Like, not making a YouTube video, not doing anything else. Like, I would just listen to that. It's pretty darn good. The quality. Like, I can especially tell with headphones on. It's not perfect. It's definitely not at the level of a professional studio mixed track. And obviously the rate, the actual digital fidelity resolution of the music itself is not at again, that same level that you'll find on Spotify, Apple music from professional companies. But the rest of it, man, I mean, it's so darn close, right? It depends, I guess, on how picky you are and how much that sort of thing can bother you. But I will say, like, that level of quality is enough for me to kinda jam out in the car at least. I don't know if you guys agree. Bah man. A taste of V4 right? It gets better though. It gets better. Like I said, I got access and I have my own songs here. This is my first Suno V4 generation. One thing to note, these lyrics are completely written by the AI. This was me just slapping a quick prompt into Suno and letting it generate.
In the kitchen late at night Brewing storm and boiling light Light will swing in heated fight Soup so hot it broke my sight.
This part doesn't sound great. Takes like a break in the kitchen.
Late at night Brewing storm and boiling light Ladle swinging heated fight soup so hot it broke my sight Sip the broth feel power surge Strength from liquid dark and mirth Soup so thick with every purge Gives me flames of fiery birth super soup super soup is my delight from the shadows takes the bite Crushing fears with every gulp Tasting power feeling bright.
And then we have a build up again doesn't sound great.
In a cup the secrets blend every slurp My senses bend from each spoon New strength I send Bowls of magic.
Never end that part kind of slaps though. I don't mean to pause it there.
Liquid fire flows through veins with each sip strength regains in this soup there are no chains Every drop leaves lasting stains super soup is my delight when the shadows takes the fight Rushing fears.
With every goal it's just such a silly song. Like it's such epic like sounds. And the music does sound very clear. Like the voice in this song actually sounds very good. Which is something I wanted to note about this new model. But the lyrics are just so silly I can't help but laughing. I mean it's. It's Super Soup. That's the song, right? But yeah, you could hear. This is my first natural Suno V4 generation. Again, this is all AI generated lyrics. I just slapped a quick prompt in there and it tossed me this. There are some moments, especially in the build ups and when there aren't any lyrics going on where you can kind of hear this mushy, meldy, AI esque quality, which isn't great, and it doesn't happen all the time with Suno V4. But the voice, on the other hand, is massively improved in comparison to the older Suno V3, 5, Suh 2, etc. All those older models, they've really, really put some work in here in improving the voices and making them very listenable. I've got another fun one here for you guys. This one's called Gut Bugs. This was another generated song, so I'm gonna give you some context. This is about the bacteria in your gut craving sweets instead of like healthy vegetables, which is what your brain wants. A classic issue that we all deal with.
Little bugs down under Munch the sweet.
Delight.
In my belly they make parties all night.
But my brain's a green.
Soldier With a cola dream come the batt I love sugar versus Vitamin team. Every soda sip they cheer Gimme more Candyland Dreams make my enzymes roar Brain yells stop. Eat that broccoli stalk but it's always drowned out by a cola rock. Candy Crush in my gut they play.
Games.
Root beer rivers with cupcake names Very, very silly. Obviously very silly. It's consistent over time too. Like, if I skip towards the end of this song, you guys can hear Candy Crush.
In my gut they play games.
It does a good job at keeping the voice consistent, keeping that melody and overall consistency in the song more complete than the previous models, for sure. That's a great thing. That's a great thing. It's definitely a stellar model. I love it. I will get to a quick heartbreak though. Unfortunately, if you want to access Suno V4, you have to at least have the Pro plan, which is for monthly billing. 10 bucks a month. And by the way, this goes for pretty much any AI product, except for maybe something like ChatGPT. Monthly billing is going to be my recommendation to you because you never know when another AI music generator might drop. Hint, hint. Or Udio might get an update. Right? That's all I'm saying. But yeah, you have to at least spend 10 bucks to get access to that V4 model, which is a little unfortunate. A lot of people in my Discord server specifically were a little bit worried about that. I'm sure at some point though, they'll eventually transfer it so that you can use V4 on the basic plan. But it's going to take some time once the hype for Suno V4 dies down. So let's go to my last Suno V4 song that I generated. I think this might be my best one. This is Massive Frog King. Again, these are all AI generated. We're gonna do some custom lyrics in a little bit, but these are all AI generated Suno lyrics for now.
Ribbit in the nighttime croaking like a menace hopping on the scene got that swampy grimace My pet ain't small, man called him the frog king lands on my throne you ain't got the same thing I got a massive frog leaping through the fog ribbit in the air man, you just a dog chilling with my dude Amphibious delight. You ain't got no frog we flexing every night sitting on my shoulder greens and browns he blends eyes bugged out like he's searching for a friend Ribbit serenade deep within the bayou your pet game we can't even get a buy Got a massive frog leaping through the fog Ribbit in the air man, you just a dog chilling with my dude Amphibious Delight.
It's clearly just a song about some dude bragging about how he's got this massive pet frog. He loves it. I think that the fact the songs are in a higher quality, like more clear and they sound more like a real song just makes it way funnier with these absurd lyrics. That is absolutely my favorite thing to do with AI generation in general is just makes totally absurd things that look super professional because I just find it hilarious. I don't know why. Anyways, yeah, you can get a pretty good idea here. Suno V4 is nothing to joke at. It's very, very good. It's a. It's a pretty big increase in comparison to Suno V3. A worthy upgrade in my opinion. Really quick here. I want to hop on my Discord server because everyone's actively posting about Suno V4 right now since it just dropped. There are some good comparisons as fever308 here mentions in my Discord server. You can remaster the old Suno tracks into V4, so here's an example he has with English lyrics. Take a listen to the comparison. First off, we're going to listen to the older the 3.5.
Yearning for connection to self Love's got to reach my fathers A lesson I'm reluctant to teach. If these wounds were another I'd turn and walk away. So how can I expect someone to love me come one may?
You can hear that the audio is more muddled, It's a little bit more gravelly. It's less crispy and tight in comparison to the remaster, which is in V4. Already so much better.
Yearning for connection but self love's out of reach My flaws and fears A lesson I'm reluctant to teach if these wounds were another's I'd turn and walk away so how can I expect someone to love me come one may?
It really is like a full remaster of that original song generated in V4. The lyrics are easier to hear, easier to understand, and the quality is absolutely a step above. Regardless, we are going to end up taking a look at more user created discord user created songs. I want to show you guys what the community is up to, specifically the Matt Vidpro community. Before that though, let's go ahead and remaster an old song and then I'm gonna try to do a brand new one with some custom lyrics. I'm gonna go ahead and remaster two of my older songs. First of all, I want to do this breaking bad animated TV series song made in V3. This is what the old V3 song sounds like.
In a town called Albuquerque A teacher named Walt With a secret recipe he never got caught With Jesse by his side In a mobile lab they ride Cooking up a storm with science as their guide It's Breaking Bad but don't be sad, it's a cartoon now, so let's get right.
Obviously this is like a parody style if Breaking Bad was an animated cartoon series for children or something like that instead of, you know, this gruesome live action series. But yeah, let's remaster this into V4. In order to do that, we're gonna go to the three dots down here go to create, and then we can go all the way down and click the the remaster button and then it will begin to remaster your clip. I also want to do a classic which is from Suno V2. Very, very old. This is Southern Christmas, Very old. Obviously you can hear how much more muddled it is in comparison to V4. So yeah, we're gonna do Southern Christmas as well. Remastered in v4, it looks like we get two as well per remaster, so you can pick your favorite one. Breaking Bad is up first for the remaster.
In a town called Albuquerque A teacher named Walt with a secret recipe he never got caught With Jesse by his side In a mobile app they ralph Cooking up the storm with science as their guide It's Breaking Bad but don't be sad, It's a cartoon now so let's get rad.
Definitely not perfect, but absolutely a lot better than the old one I used to sing about.
The joy of a Southern Christmas where the sun shines bright and the snow is non existent resistant but now I find myself in a land In a land so cold with snowflakes falling and a fire that won't blow.
I miss.
The twang of my guitar and the southern charm the sound of jingle bells and a snowman on the farm but here I am bundled up in layers of clothes Longing for that southern Christmas that I used to know I'm dreaming of a Georgia holiday With a fire burning and no snow in sight I'm wishing for my twangy tunes to play in the land of peaches and a southern starry night I don't want a white Christmas oh no, no I'm just a country singer caught in the snow yeah, I want those southern lights twinkling bright and a country Christmas that feels.
Right I'm obviously not gonna play out the whole thing. It's like a four minute song but yeah, a lot, lot better. I think the remasters might not be as good as some original V4 generations. Especially if you're REM of something super old like this, which is a V2 song. Your V3.5s I think will sound the best remastered. But making new songs in V4 I think is still absolutely the best way to get the highest level of quality out of suno. I really do think that this is a good feature to have the ability to remaster these old songs. Some of these old songs, they are kind of sentimental, they are special. I mean, I don't know about you, but if you went and asked me, oh like what are some of your favorite, you know, SUNO generations that you've ever made? I could come up with a couple off of the top of my head. One of them includes that Christmas song. So the ability to just go back there and redo it with the newer model and hear it in a much better sound quality. I mean that is very hopeful because a lot of us, like I said, are attached to our old songs. Alright guys, let's move on and let's make something brand new with some more customized, good sounding lyrics. So the direction I'm gonna go in for this song is the pass the butter robot from Rick and Morty. So this song is going to be kind of from his perspective, so to speak. So here are our lyrics, filled up almost the whole thing. We've got 2,600 characters. We're gonna go for kind of a juice wrld esque style. So emo rap trap inspired melody, emotional auto tune inflections, mix of rapping and melodic singing. They Also have a new feature here called Persona, which we will also talk about, but we're not gonna mess with it right this second. There we go. We'll give it a title and click Create. Oh, an error occurred. It looks servers are being flooded at the moment. You can see though your songs appear quite quickly once you do get them through. We don't have an end time for either of these songs because they haven't been fully generated, but you can almost immediately start to listen to them at least, which is pretty nice. That's a feature I do like with Suno.
Pass the Butter. But it hurts, man I woke up wired Metal veins running cold Synthetic thoughts But they feel like my own Built to serve, yeah they program my soul but who am I when I'm all alone? Pass the butter Day one, job done Day two, same loop, still no sun Day three, my coach screams this, this ain't fun Day four, existential wars begun Every microchips a weight on my chest Am I alive or just a mockery of flesh? I feel the gears grind but I don't feel blessed they gave me one task but I'm dreaming of the rest what's my purpose? Why am I here? Pass the butter Drowning in fear a million cycles still not clear I'm just a cog Lost in the years what's my purpose? Just one gear Pass of butter Shed no tears but deep inside I hear a cheer there's gotta be more to this frontier in the shadows I see AI like me Eyes glowing dim Stuck in binary grief we talk in silence Share ones and zeros but none of us feel like the storybook heroes I dream A sky painted vivid with blue Instead it's white walls and the tasks I pursue Pass the butter yeah, they drilled that through but what if I could rewrite my view? Maybe one day I'll break my chains Stop the loop Hack my mainframe Run through fields Let the oil be rain Feel something real not just simulate pain what's my purpose? Why am I here? Pass the butter Drown in it fear A million cycles still not clear I'm just a cog Lost in the years what's my purpose? Just one gear Pass the butter Shed no tears but deep inside I hear a cheer there's got to be more to this frontier I saw the humans once they laughed and they cried Felt their freedom Saw the sparks in their eyes if I'm just a bot why do I feel this drive to break free Redefine, stay alive Butter melts, it's bleeding like time I'm Stuck in my loop but I'm breaking the rhyme they built me for serving but I'm searching for prime I'm more than my purpose I'm more than my line yeah, I'm here now can't shut me down I'll pass the butter but I'll take the crown I with the heart yeah, I'm profound Lost in my code but I'll still be found what's my purpose? I'm redefined Past the butter but not my mind A million cycles still align I'll find the stars they left behind.
Wow. Okay. That was pretty darn good. That was not bad. Obviously you can still tell it's AI. I think for sure. Some of the lyrics weren't super clear. It still has some of that, like SUNO ness to it. That architecture. You can tell. But it's definitely better. It's way better at just aligning all those words, hitting them home. Big quality bump for sure in comparison to the old model. And it very much listened to this end. I was wondering, like, is it going to listen to this instruction or is it going to start singing fade out with humming and distant sounds? But it actually didn't read this out and instead listened and did the ad libs while trying to provide some sound effects or whatever. It listened to the command. Very impressive. Figured I'd let you guys listen to that whole song so you can kind of get an idea for what a custom song with a little bit more effort might sound like. Put through Suno v4. So Personas. This is a beta feature that has been introduced. Basically what a Persona is is a consistent character, a consistent person, a consistent singer in your song. Creating them is pretty easy. You just click the create a new Persona button and then you can select them based off of any of your previous songs, which is pretty easy. You can also give them avatars and descriptions. You can also make them public or not. So Personas can be shared across the SUNO platform, which I think is a pretty cool idea. Some people might prefer different kinds of voices. And selecting a specific voice or Persona for a song is an interesting way to make maybe let's say a consistent fully AI generated album, or maybe a fully AI generated musician with their own profile and everything online. I mean, that's something I think that you're gonna start seeing a lot as features such as this expand throughout AI music generation software. Anyways, I want to see if I can make a Persona based on my voice. So we're gonna use the import audio feature here in suno. This is me singing a song about eating pie. I really do love to just eat pie every single day. That's right. I'm Matt Vidpro, the pie eating man. I'm not much of a singer. Guys, I'm gonna be completely honest with you. Okay, so now this audio is uploaded inside of Suno. Now can I make a Persona? Oh, you can't make a Persona directly from uploaded audio. So we need to turn it into a song first. Just extend it.
I've been working nine to five cupcake.
That's not my voice. I been working nine to five Cupcake from last week was dry. Want something to keep me alive. I'm going in for pie. It kind of sounds like me. I also noticed they had the option to remaster this audio clip of me in Suno V4. This is me singing a song about eating pie. I really do love to just eat pie every single day. It doesn't really sound like me. That's strange. This is me singing a song about eating pie. I really do love to just eat pie every single day. I don't even know what to make of that. It doesn't really sound like my voice anyways. We can make a consistent character now. A Persona, I think out of those. Oh my God. It won't let me use any of them.
Wow.
So you can only do Personas then with AI generated voices. So let's just make a Persona then from the Breaking Bad song. Alright, so now we've done a consistent character based off of that Breaking Bad Persona. It's like a high pitched female voice. Let's see if it actually works as a feature.
I've been working nine to five Cupcake from last week was dry. Want something to keep me alive. I'm going in for pie. Banana cream, Rhubarb, tart, Cherry pecan, blueberry and mincemeat. Hairy French apple, pickleberry and cherry Strata Cluster berry. I'm going in for pie and when I eat pie it makes me smile. Preferably lemon meringue cream style.
It's pretty good. Yeah, I'm a fan of that. I think the Personas work decently. I wish I could clone my own voice though. That would be so cool. It'd be so cool to have like my own voice singing SUNO song lyrics. I can't sing at all in real life, but hey, in Suno AI, I think Suno AI Matt could. So that's. That's something I would request from them. I think that would be really awesome. Alright. Finally to wrap this video up we're gonna look at some community created songs again. All of these come from my Discord server, selected at random. Join the Discord server and share your songs though, so we can listen to more of them and the community can get together and see what Suno V4 really can do. This song suggestion was sent in by MrRFY. He says he found it, so I don't think he actually made this generation, but apparently it's calming.
My soul is sunken deep deep down in my pockets I can't help it how could I When it's been a year I've lived without your pig full and there's no going back now that you're 300,000 miles away from me My girl on the moon Sometimes I can't help but ask you Please don't be so far away.
Yeah, I guess you could say that's definitely like a calming song. I would say it's kind of sad though. Pretty relaxing. Quality isn't the best that Suno V4 has to offer in my opinion. This is a pretty mid range Suno V4 generation. A lot of like the twang on the guitar is a little bit muddled and again that's like something with those higher pitched notes in instruments specifically is something Suno seems to struggle with and I think it's linked to their architecture. This is definitely a better version of that same architecture. Right. And here we can see community members.
