Suno
Suno is moving forward into production, yet again. On August 13, the company unveiled Studio 2.0, a major update to its browser-based digital audio workstation aimed squarely at musicians and producers.
The additions include MIDI support, a beta AI chat assistant, enhanced stem separation, new effects and automation tools. MIDI was reportedly the most requested feature for Studio, allowing users to import, record and edit MIDI directly on the timeline. MIDI clips can also act as prompts for generating new audio.
The new chat function takes the idea of an AI collaborator a step further. Users can ask Studio to create instruments or vocals, develop custom plugins and clean up sessions through natural-language instructions.
Studio 2.0 lets players record real instruments and vocals, while MIDI keyboards and microphones remain central to the workflow.
The company recently announced new download restrictions across its subscription tiers, citing efforts to prevent mass exporting. Those limits begin September 3. Studio, however, gets an exception. Premier subscribers will retain unlimited downloads, including 32-bit/48kHz multitrack and stem exports.
Studio was launched in beta in 2025 following Suno’s acquisition of browser DAW WavTool.
That ambition comes amid major changes in Suno’s relationship with the traditional music industry. The company recently announced a licensing agreement with BMG, while continuing to face copyright litigation from Universal Music Group, Sony Music and other rights holders.
