D'Addario admits Suno AI regenerated string demo track after weeks of denials
↗
D'Addario admitted that Suno Studio was used to regenerate the track in a promotional video for guitar strings, reversing nearly two weeks of denials and alternative explanations that were contradicted by evidence.
The episode shows how quickly domain-expert communities can detect AI-generated audio and how denials compound reputational damage when evidence accumulates. It also demonstrates that AI music tools are being used even in contexts where authenticity is central to the brand's identity.

D'Addario admitted Suno Studio was used to regenerate the track in its string demo video, reversing nearly two weeks of denials.
The company's alternative explanations, low-quality exports, Autotune noise, AI-assisted mastering from LANDR and Logic, were contradicted by differences between the Logic session and the finished track.
D'Addario now says it will require employees and creative partners to disclose any use of generative AI and claims it does not support AI-generated music.
