Suno Studio: When the DAW has Ideas of its Own – Now Available!
It's a Curse for Some and a Blessing for Others - the Great AI DAW is Here!
1,6 / 5,0 | 
There are moments when music production undergoes a fundamental change. For some, it was switching from tape machines to digital workstations, while for others, it was the introduction of software synths and plugins. Now, Suno Studio is a new DAW that could further drive this transformation. While classic DAWs assume you’ll contribute audio, MIDI, or samples, Suno Studio starts one step earlier. Here, music is not only edited or arranged, but also regenerated.
All About Suno Studio
AI in the Studio: Is Suno Studio Changing the Rules?
This new approach to working can free you from entrenched routines and encourage creativity. Rather than spending a long time searching through sample folders, you can create new stems directly in the studio. Whether it’s vocals, percussion, synthesizers, or entire textures, variations are created that immediately fit into the musical context. This concept may seem far-fetched at first, but it also reminds us that many hits were born from chance or unexpected inspiration. Suno Studio wants to consciously open up precisely this space.
Of course, the question of balancing AI and craftsmanship immediately arises. Many producers don’t want their personal signature blurred by a machine, after all. Suno Studio addresses this issue by offering classic multitrack editing, BPM and pitch control, and a familiar editing environment. The program is not intended to replace existing DAWs but rather to extend their capabilities, taking over where ideas would otherwise fizzle out or when suitable material is unavailable.
„Creativity” via Algorithms
Another argument for its practicality is its open integration. Generated stems can be exported directly as audio or MIDI files, so the path back to the familiar DAW always remains open. This allows Suno Studio to be used as a creative add-on that quickly generates ideas while enabling full post-processing in the familiar environment. For many music producers, especially sound designers, this point is likely to be decisive. It offers freedom to experiment and security in the workflow simultaneously.
The range of users that Suno Studio is aimed at is also exciting. Bedroom producers who don’t have time to spend hours tinkering with their own drum loops will certainly appreciate the quick access. At the same time, experienced composers and sound designers can use the tool to expand existing arrangements with additional musical layers, which would otherwise take a lot of work. The fact that the software initially only runs on desktop seems almost irrelevant.
AI Music 2.0: Suno Studio: A Reality Check
In the end, the question remains: Is Suno Studio a tool for beginners or a serious alternative for everyday studio work? Probably – and unfortunately – both. Once you experience how new ideas can be generated in seconds, you won’t want to miss out on this creative boost. At the same time, it still takes a producer’s sensitivity to transform generated stems into a moving song. That’s exactly where the appeal lies: AI provides the possibilities, but music is created in the mind and heart.
Despite all the fascination, there is still a certain aftertaste. Even if Suno Studio opens creative doors, it’s unclear where it will all lead. The more AI-generated stems that circulate, the greater the risk that music will become interchangeable, and individuality will be lost. Additionally, questions of copyright and transparency raise new problems that have yet to be answered. Only through everyday use will it become clear whether Suno Studio truly serves as a source of inspiration or tempts musicians to cut corners with their creativity.
Price and Availability
Suno Studio is currently only available to Premier users and runs exclusively on desktop (Pro users do not have access). Since there is neither free access nor a trial version, the barrier to entry is higher. The exact price depends on the Premier subscription, which is required to use the platform. Existing members get access at no additional cost; everyone else must choose a subscription. For the time being, Suno Studio is an offering that not everyone can try immediately; it is tailored to the paying community.

All AI platforms that produce music should be banned! AI must stay away from the true Art of Music.

I just can’t imagine how many people are missing out on the joy of playing and making music and instead feeding their egos with this AI stuff.
Anyone using this garbage should be ashamed of themselves. Phonies and cheats… I guess that’s the whole world now, just phonies and corruption everywhere, nobody caring about anything but appearance and fast “content creation”. These companies are awful, run by arrogant tech bros who neither care or know anything about music.
