Editing the MIDI notes of Suno's AI-generated song (in MP3 format) is incredibly hard. The notes are quite weird, and I'm starting to feel discouraged about making music.

Should I give up or what? I could really use some help. ☹️

You would be a lot better off learning about why certain notes sound good together than trying to get an AI to do it for you. That way you might develop skills that are transferable to making other songs, and you will get better at it. You're having a hard time right now because you don't know why certain notes sound good together, you're just dragging notes around and hoping it starts to sound good.

Here are some quick links. I'm happy to help further if I'm able.

But it's ~~kinda~~ hard for me, naturally.

It's not just you, composing music is hard. But that's no excuse to bypass the learning process
