What it produced
Indie creator on TikTok, 220k followers
Switched from Epidemic Sound ($24/mo) to Suno + Udio. Saved $14/mo, got two of her tracks added to her own Spotify.
Common pitfalls
Vocal hallucination
Suno occasionally produces near-real-sounding artist vocals. Generate instrumentals when in doubt.
Mix levels too hot
Generative music is mastered loud; -6dB before voiceover saves your watch time.
