The Process
How musikuss Actually Gets Made
There's a common assumption about AI-assisted music: type a prompt, wait a few seconds, done. That's not how it works here. Every musikuss track goes through a multi-step process that combines original songwriting, traditional studio production, iterative AI generation, and old-fashioned manual mixing — often dozens of rounds before a song is even close to finished. This page walks through what that actually looks like, step by step.
- 01
Writing the Lyrics
Every song starts as a text. Lyrics are either written entirely from scratch or developed together with an AI writing assistant - but even then, the ideas, structure, and final wording go through heavy editing and rewriting. The AI is a sounding board, not a ghostwriter. What ends up on the page still has to sound like it means something.
- 02
Sketching the Base Idea
Before any AI touches the music, there's often already a skeleton of a song. Chords, a melody line, a rough arrangement - built and recorded directly in Logic Pro. This isn't meant to be a finished demo, just enough of a foundation to give the next step something real to work with.
- 03
Feeding the Reference into Suno
The rough sketch gets uploaded to Suno as a reference track. Instead of generating a song from a blank prompt, the AI works from an actual musical starting point — tempo, melody, mood, and structure that already exist. This keeps the generated result anchored to an original idea rather than drifting into something generic.
- 04
Iterating Until It Clicks
This is where the real work happens. Generating a track once almost never gets it right. It usually takes somewhere between 20 and 40 iterations — tweaking prompts, adjusting style tags, regenerating sections — before a version finally feels right. Most attempts get discarded. Patience matters more than luck here.
- 05
Reviewing and Exporting the Stems
Once a version works, it gets split into individual stems using advanced source separation. Every instrument and vocal layer is checked on its own — some stems come out clean, others need to be handled carefully or replaced entirely in the next step.
- 06
Cleaning Up in Logic
Back in Logic Pro, the imperfect parts get cut, trimmed, or replaced. Sometimes that means swapping out an instrument that didn't land right, adding a part that was missing, or simply tightening up timing issues the AI generation left behind. This is where the track stops being a generated draft and starts becoming an actual song.
- 07
Mixing and Mastering
The final step is a full remix and master, done manually - balancing levels, shaping the tone, and polishing the track until it holds up next to anything recorded the traditional way. No shortcuts here either; this stage is as hands-on as it gets.
