Need a tip or want to show off your latest music production?

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. ☹️
boi wtf is this 😂😂😂
Don't use AI bro trust just watch some youtube vids about music theory or smth. Also if you need cr4ck for 24 DM me. Otherwise use ardour on linux bro.
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
godsend ahh comment, tysm
Oh, you gave a goldmine here. I hope OP pays attention, but even if not... yoink
Happy to help!
Don't give up! But using AI is not the way forwards. You won't glean anything from it.
Do you know what it is in particular that you find "weird" with these notes? What is it that you're finding hard about editing those notes?
I would recommend starting by constructing a chord progression for yourself that you like the sound of, just to get a feeling for the software you're using. Then, you can add a melody.
But, you know, it's kind of hard for me. Sorry. :)
We're just trying to understand what in particular you're finding difficult mate, no need to apologise. These tools can be overwhelming.
Did you keep working on it yesterday or take a break? :)
Start with an instrument and music theory class, not tinkering with AI nonsense.
What exactly are you trying to do?
Trying to create my own songs.
You're letting AI do it though?
Ditch that and make your own songs. You let AI create your melody, robbing you of one of the many joys of making music, and arguably the whole point - expressing yourself. You're just cleaning up the mess it spit out.
Making music isn't easy. It's a skill that takes time to develop, often years. Expect to be bad at it for a while, but know that you will improve over time. It's extremely rewarding. With experience you may be able to make this turd shine, but more likely you won't need to because you can do better with your own skill starting from scratch.
I'll ask again, what are you trying to do? Do you want to make your own beats to rap on, or maybe make a soundtrack for an indie game? Think about that and analyze the music that inspires you, learn from it, emulate it, pick up on their techniques. If you can come back with specific questions about music production then people will be happy to help you. This post is like complaining that the easy way out isn't as easy as you expected.

Well, maybe I'm just trying to create my own songs, song albums, singles, and stuff. That's all I have to say. 🤷♂️ I'm sorry.
AI media is not something you created.
