Suno AI’s New Cover Feature 

Here's a quick recap of how Devan used Suno to create a music track using the new cover song feature:

1. Devan started by recording some original vocals with a simple idea.

2. They then went to suno.com and used its AI-powered tool.

3. They uploaded their audio clip to Suno and selected the "cover song" option.

4. For the style, they specified "70s R&B".

5. Suno's AI generated a remix in that style based on the original vocal input.

6. The artist then took this AI-generated remix and sampled it in their digital audio workstation (DAW), likely Serato.

7. They chopped and edited the AI-generated sample to create a new track.

The key point is that instead of sampling from existing records or YouTube, Devan used AI to generate a new sample based on their vocal input, allowing them to create "sample-free" music while still achieving a desired style or sound.
