Make + Share an Original AI Track
Maps to: Music Producer · Composer · Sound Designer · Recording Artist
You're going to make an original 2 to 3 minute track, design its cover, and share it. The skill is the choosing: generating a dozen versions and being able to say why one of them is the one and the others aren't. That's the ear of a music producer, the call about what a track actually needs, and doing one of these shows you fast whether trusting your taste like that is your kind of work.
How this shows up on a resume or college app
I composed and released an original track using AI tools, designed its cover art, and shared it, choosing the one version that worked out of many and being able to say why. I learned where the AI ends and my taste begins: anyone can generate, but choosing the one is the skill.

The plan
- 1
Step 1
Pick genre, mood, theme, and write the vibe
Decide what you're making: the genre, the mood, the theme. If it's vocal, write 2–3 lines of lyrics. This brief is what you'll judge every generated version against.

Step 2
Generate the track, then pick THE one
Generate at least 5 versions (the first one is never the one), then choose the single best, and in a sentence say why it beats the runner-up. Articulating your taste against the alternatives IS the skill here.

Step 3
Art-direct the cover
Generate cover art that matches the track's vibe. Iterate until the image and the sound feel like the same thing.

Steps 4–5
Share it + close
Share your track and cover somewhere real and get it heard. Free-to-done: share the streamable link from your Suno page (the free tier streams and shares but won't let you download). Want it on SoundCloud or Spotify? That needs a download, which needs Suno Pro (paid) plus a distributor. That's the upgrade path.
