Suno Studio Tutorial: The Complete Guide

Last updated: February 2026

Suno Studio is the professional editing environment within Suno that transforms it from a simple generator into a full music production tool. With Studio, you can separate stems, edit individual sections, remix tracks, and export production-ready audio for your DAW.

What You Can Do in Studio

Stem Separation

Extract vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments into separate tracks. Download each stem individually for mixing in your DAW.

Section Editing

Regenerate any portion of your song—a single verse, the chorus, or just a few bars—without affecting the rest of the track.

Remixing

Create variations of existing tracks by adjusting the remix intensity slider. Generate alternative versions while keeping the core song intact.

Audio Upload

Upload your own audio files and apply Suno's style transformation, or use them as reference for new generations.

High-Quality Export

Download your final mix and individual stems as WAV files for the highest quality in your productions.

Getting Started with Studio

Requirements

Accessing Studio

1

Log into Suno

Go to suno.com and sign in with your Pro or Premier account.

2

Click "Studio"

In the top navigation bar, click the "Studio" tab. You'll enter the Studio workspace.

3

Load a Track

Either click "New" to generate a fresh track, or select an existing song from your library and click "Open in Studio."

Stem Separation: Complete Walkthrough

Stem separation uses AI to isolate different elements of your track. Here's how to use it effectively:

How to Separate Stems

1

Load Your Track

Open any generated song in Studio. The waveform appears in the main workspace.

2

Click "Stems"

Find the Stems button in the toolbar (usually top-right). Click it to begin separation.

3

Wait for Processing

Stem separation takes 30-60 seconds depending on track length. A progress indicator shows the status.

4

Preview and Download

Once complete, you'll see separate tracks for vocals, drums, bass, and other. Solo each to preview, then download individually.

Available Stems

Stem Contains Best Uses
Vocals Lead vocals, background vocals, harmonies Remixing, acapella versions, vocal processing
Drums Kick, snare, hi-hats, cymbals, percussion Drum replacement, rhythm editing, sampling
Bass Bass guitar, synth bass, sub-bass Re-amping, EQ adjustment, layering
Other Guitars, keys, synths, strings, everything else Instrumental versions, melodic sampling

Pro Tip: Suno's stem separation is surprisingly clean for AI-generated audio. The vocals stem, in particular, exports with minimal artifacts—often usable directly in professional mixes.

Section Editing: Regenerate Any Part

Section editing is Studio's killer feature. Instead of regenerating an entire song when one part isn't right, you can fix just that section.

How Section Editing Works

1

Select a Section

Click and drag on the waveform to highlight the section you want to change. This could be 2 seconds or 30 seconds.

2

Click "Regenerate Section"

A prompt editor appears. You can keep the original prompt or modify it for this specific section.

3

Adjust Your Prompt

For example, if the verse is too calm, add "more energy, building intensity" to the section prompt.

4

Generate and Compare

Studio generates a new version of just that section. Preview it in context with the rest of the song. Generate multiple options if needed.

5

Accept or Try Again

If you like it, accept the change. If not, regenerate with a different prompt. Your original section is preserved until you accept.

Section Editing Use Cases

Credit Usage: Section editing uses credits proportional to the length of audio regenerated. A 10-second section costs less than regenerating the full 2-minute song.

Remixing Existing Tracks

Studio's remix feature creates variations of your tracks while maintaining the core elements.

Remix Intensity Levels

Level What Changes Best For
Subtle (10-30%) Minor variations in arrangement, slight tonal shifts Creating alternate takes, A/B versions
Moderate (40-60%) New instrumental arrangements, different energy Genre-adjacent remixes, radio edits
Heavy (70-90%) Significant style changes, new melodic ideas Genre transformations, experimental versions
Full (100%) Complete reimagination, only lyrics preserved Cross-genre covers, total makeovers

How to Remix

  1. Load a track into Studio
  2. Click "Remix" in the toolbar
  3. Adjust the intensity slider
  4. Optionally modify the style prompt for the remix
  5. Generate and preview
  6. Save as a new version or replace the original

DAW Integration Workflow

Here's how to integrate Suno Studio into your professional music production workflow:

Workflow: Suno to Ableton Live

1

Generate in Suno

Create your track using HookGenius prompts for best results. Iterate until the arrangement is solid.

2

Separate Stems in Studio

Use stem separation to extract vocals, drums, bass, and other elements.

3

Download All Stems

Export each stem as a WAV file. Use the "Download All" option if available.

4

Import to Ableton

Drag stems into separate tracks in your Ableton project. They're already aligned—no syncing needed.

5

Process and Mix

Apply EQ, compression, effects, and automation. Replace drums with your own samples if desired.

6

Master and Export

Your final mix combines Suno's AI composition with your professional production skills.

Works With Any DAW

The same workflow applies to:

Pro Tip: Many producers use Suno for initial song ideas, then replace the drums entirely with their own samples and re-record bass. The AI vocals and melodic elements remain as the creative core.

Advanced Studio Techniques

Layered Regeneration

Regenerate sections multiple times with different prompts, then combine the best elements from each in your DAW:

  1. Generate version A of the chorus (energetic)
  2. Generate version B (atmospheric)
  3. Export stems from both
  4. Layer A's drums with B's synths for a unique hybrid

Style Blending

Use remix at 50% to blend two genres:

  1. Generate a rock track
  2. Remix with an electronic/EDM prompt at 50% intensity
  3. Result: electronic rock hybrid that neither prompt would create alone

Vocal Isolation for Covers

Create instrumental versions for covers or remixes:

  1. Generate a song with the style you want
  2. Separate stems
  3. Keep only the instrumental stems (drums, bass, other)
  4. Record your own vocals over the Suno instrumental
