Suno’s upgraded AI number generator might even tap skeptics’ toes
AI song creator Suno has opened the doors to a new virtual studio, releasing the Suno v4 music creation platform. The critically acclaimed upgrade will allow users to create better, longer and more creative songs and aims to attract professional artists and producers interested in integrating AI into music making.
“When we launched v3 earlier this year, it opened up new possibilities for music creation. After launching v3, we refined what worked and added more where it mattered most,” Suno wrote in a blog post. “The result is v4: a major update that takes music creation to the next level. v4 delivers cleaner audio, sharper lyrics and more dynamic song structures.”
The change becomes apparent when you hear what synthetic voices sound like on Suno v4. The improved vocal clarity and tone are no longer stuck in the audio uncanny valley. They sound like real people. And if you created a song with the older versions of the platform, you can use the new Remaster tool to adjust the track to the new level of quality while keeping all the elements you like.
Suno v4 also has new user tools that will likely encourage long-term use. The Personas feature takes those new, improved voices and makes them part of your library. Essentially, you can apply an AI voice that you like to any song you create. The consistent singing style across multiple songs means that you could theoretically create entire albums starring a single voice you like, as if the artificial voice were a singer you have under contract.
@zonmuziek Remaster your songs with v4 ✨ Thank you for all your incredible enthusiasm about v4 and our new Remaster feature, which improves songs you created with older models! Thank you, especially to our Pro and Premier subscribers, who helped us shape our models with your feedback. Please continue with 👍 and 👎 songs – this will help improve your own music experience and also help us make the best v4 experience possible! ❤️Team Suno

Plus, you’ll have better lyrics that your virtual client can output with the new lyrics model called ReMi, which is available in custom creation mode. ReMi gets a little quirkier than the usual lyrics, favoring creativity over sticking to more conventional songwriting. It definitely makes for more unpredictable songs, which may or may not be ideal for producing the song you want.
The upgrade also removes the Covers feature from the beta version. Covers is a tool that reinterprets your songs in new genres. So if you’ve generated a nice pop song but want to hear it performed like an old Scottish folk song or perhaps sung over a dubstep beat, you can hear what that sounds like.
Suno v4’s appeal to both casual music lovers and professional musicians makes sense. This kind of technical wizardry could be crucial as Suno faces many rivals, including Tad.AIUdio and Boomy. Sunos mobile app and features like Scenes, which writes numbers based on uploaded images instead of written directions, will be needed to stand out.
You can try Suno v4 now, but whether it will survive in the near future lawsuits Suno and other AI music platforms are facing major music labels for copyright infringement, it’s still unclear.
