How an AI System Turned My Passion for Music into Automated Profit
Imagine having your favorite music streaming on YouTube, drawing in millions of listens—all while you sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee. That’s not a fantasy anymore; it’s happening right now. I stumbled upon this fascinating world where channels generate up to $13,000 per month producing music albums that folks listen to again and again. The best part? Many of these albums are created through automation, allowing creators to focus on what they enjoy while still cashing in.
This realization led me to build my own AI system. With just a simple prompt for the genre and a number of songs, this automation generates entire video albums, fully edited and even published to YouTube. I’ve seen it work for everything from children’s music to smooth jazz, and the results are amazing.
I was excited to share my journey of transforming daunting tasks into mere minutes of automation. So, let me take you through it step by step.
From Concept to Reality: Building My AI Music System
I spent a decade in creative marketing and data teams before establishing my AI solutions group, RoboNuggets. My mission became crystal clear: I wanted to demystify AI content creation for everyone, regardless of their background. As exciting as it sounded, I knew I had a mountain to climb.
Now, let’s talk about the nuts and bolts. A few weeks ago, the new Suno V5 AI model emerged as a game-changer in music generation. Imagine integrating this with a no-code automation tool like N8N. It opens the door to a multitude of use cases: music production for clients, instant background music for videos, or even running your own music-focused YouTube channel.
The Beauty of Automation
The heart of my automation is simple. I filled out a form, inputting my desired theme and number of tracks. Suddenly, everything clicked into place.
-
Building the Form: I created a user-friendly form for inputting a theme, description, number of songs, and whether I wanted instrumentals or lyrics.
-
Engaging Third Parties: By employing an HTTP request node to make API calls, I could integrate tools like FFmpeg to stitch video and audio.
-
Creating Music: The magic happens when you plug into the Suno model, which composes unique songs based on the input provided.
I can’t stress enough how much time this saves—what would take me hours or even days now takes minutes!
What I’d Do If I Started Today
If you’re curious about diving into this realm, I’d recommend the following steps:
-
Choose Your Setup: Get familiar with N8N and set up your own automation workflow.
-
Leverage Powerful APIs: Use key.AI for AI-generation and FFmpeg for video editing.
-
Test a Simple Scenario: Start small. Generate a handful of songs first before diving into larger projects.
-
Expand Your Library: As you get more comfortable, explore different genres and styles—things you wouldn’t normally attempt.
-
Engage with the Community: Join forums or communities related to automation and AI. They can provide invaluable insights and support.
Real Results, Real Conversations
After implementing this system, I created a video album titled “Pixel Music” with 20 tracks in less than an hour. The best part? It produced an hour-long video that generated a lot of traffic. I shared my experience with fellow creators, and to my surprise, many were eager to replicate my success.
I often reflect on how far I’ve come from spending countless hours to automate a process that now takes 5 minutes. The emotional weight of burnout has significantly lifted, paving the way for creativity and genuine enjoyment.
Conclusion: The Future is Bright
The world of automated music generation isn’t just an exciting venture; it represents a paradigm shift in creativity. Traditional methods may still have their place, but I believe automation can complement our creativity rather than replace it.
If you’re feeling intrigued, I’ve created a small online course called Automation by RoboNuggets. It shares the exact tools and workflows I wish I knew earlier. It’s meant to guide you through building systems that save you from burnout and free up your time—only if it feels right for you.
Embrace this exciting frontier, and let’s create something wonderful together!
