Suno has launched Studio 2.0, an update to its browser-based digital audio workstation (DAW) that adds Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) support, a beta chat bar, and automation capabilities. The release, available to Suno Premier subscribers, follows direct feedback from artists, according to the company.
“Studio has always been about helping you turn a spark of inspiration into a finished work you can call your own. Studio 2.0 is the next step in that direction, giving you more ways to get inspired while providing access to the workflows you’re already most comfortable with. We’ll continue to look to our creative community to shape the future of Studio, as we find new ways to support and inspire music creators everywhere,” said Henry Phipps, Studio Product Manager.
New Production Tools
The update includes what Suno describes as the most requested feature: the ability to import, record, and edit MIDI directly on the timeline. A Chat bar, currently in beta, lets users interact with Studio as they would a human collaborator, asking it to create instruments, co-design plugins, or organize a session.
Advanced stem separation allows users to import external audio and extract individual stems with high fidelity. For the first time, Studio also offers audio effects, plugin design, and automation, enabling users to draw curves that alter track and plugin parameters over time.
Premier subscribers can export unlimited high-quality multi-tracks and stems at 32-bit/48kHz resolution.
Licensing and Legal Context
The launch comes a day after Suno confirmed a licensing agreement with BMG. Earlier in the week, the company introduced download limits intended to prevent mass-exporting of music by “bad actors.”
Suno remains involved in copyright litigation in the United States with Universal Music Group and Sony Music.
