WHO'S BEHIND THIS?
---------------------------

Q: Who wrote these books? Why should I trust them?

A: The books are written by Josh Gilliland, founder of JG BeatsLab — a production lab focused on turning AI music from a slot machine into a controllable studio process.

The credentials:

  • 200+ songs released across multiple artist projects

  • 5-star rated Submithub playlist curator

  • Working drummer with 30+ years of music experience

  • 30-year veteran of Big Tech (Microsoft, Facebook)

Want proof? Listen to this EP — AI covers of original songs, run through Suno, then polished in a DAW. This is what "hybrid production" sounds like. Read his manifesto here as well.

BEFORE YOU BUY
---------------------------

Q: Is this just another AI hype book?

A: No. There are no "get rich quick" promises, no generic prompts, and no filler. This is a studio manual focused on control, structure, and professional output.

Q: Do I need music theory or production experience?

A: No — but you do need standards. The book teaches decision-making, not theory. If you can hear when something sounds wrong, you can learn to direct.

Q: Why should I pay for this when YouTube is free?

A: YouTube gives you random tactics. We give you a system. Most tutorials treat AI like a toy. These books treat it like a Generative Audio Workstation. You're paying for structure, not information.

Q: AI changes every week. Won't this be outdated?

A: Tools change; principles don't. While we update technical guides regularly to match new models, the core strategies — the Golden Seed Method, the Human Moat, Asset Thinking — are timeless.

Pro tip: The AI Music Library gets you every book, every update, every future release. One price, forever.

---------------------------
WHICH BOOK IS RIGHT FOR ME?
---------------------------

Q: Which book should I start with?

A: Depends on where you are:

  • Unlock Suno: Studio Edition — If you're using Suno and want to stop burning credits

  • The AI Music Revolution — If you want the philosophy and mindset behind AI music production

  • The AI Music Side Hustle — If you want to release and monetize your AI music

  • The Curator's Code — If you want to get playlisted (by someone who actually curates)

Q: What's the difference between buying individual books and the Library?

A: Individual books are $9.99 each. The AI Music Library is $77 once — and includes every book, every Recipe Pack, every update, and every future release. Forever. If you're serious about this, the Library is the move.

---------------------------
PRODUCT ACCESS
---------------------------

Q: How are the books delivered?

A: Instant digital download. You receive both PDF (for desktop/print) and ePub (for Kindle/e-readers) immediately after purchase.

Q: How do I access Fader?

A: Fader is included free for all book owners and newsletter subscribers. You'll find the link in your purchase confirmation email or the weekly newsletter.

Q: What are Recipe Packs?

A: Genre-specific prompt blueprints. Each pack gives you a complete 3-song EP framework — structure tags, style descriptors, and production notes. No more staring at a blank prompt. Five packs are available individually ($4.99 each), five are Library exclusives.

Q: Is this a subscription?

A: No. One-time purchase. No recurring fees. No upsell traps.

Q: Having trouble with your order?

A: Visit our Order Support page for download issues, access keys, and troubleshooting.

---------------------------
LEGAL & PLATFORM COMPLIANCE
---------------------------


Q: Can I copyright AI music?

A: Raw AI generation cannot be copyrighted. Hybrid production can. We teach the "Human Moat" workflow — adding your own lyrics, structural arrangements, and post-production elements to create a derivative work you actually own.

Q: Does this violate Suno's terms of service?

A: No. All workflows are compliant with current platform policies. You're directing original output, not creating impersonations.

Q: Will my music get flagged or taken down?

A: If you follow the workflows, risk is minimized. Sloppy prompting creates risk. Structured direction reduces it.
