Suno, a leading AI music company, has announced the launch of its new digital audio workstation (DAW) Suno Studio. This product combines all Suno's tools for music production into one product. This involves generating individual stems, editing in a multitrack timeline, audio (samples, stems, ham melody), converting it to something new, exporting everything as audio and midi.
Ultimately, this product shows that Suno can become more than the engine behind the song written by clicking the button. “The goal is: but I know how to express musical ideas. I know how to hum something through the piano, tapping on a table, uploading a demo, or through a list of adjectives and genres. Henry Phipps In an exclusive interview with Billboard About new tools.

The beta version of Suno Studio will be available to all users with the Premier Plan on Thursday (September 25th).
To introduce and present Suno Suno Studio, the company is quietly working with the songwriting camp to enter the hands of professional musicians hosted by Frank Ocean and Jay-Z producer Ommus Skees at Rick Rubin's famous Shangri-La Studio in Malibu, California. “The music creation camp I went to at Shangri-La with Snow was a famous art of discovering scientific experiments,” says Keith.
“I probably did 9 or 10 [camps] so far,” Paul SinclairSuno's new chief music officer says Billboard. “We already have five more lined up. We'll be going to Asia for the next few weeks. There's more to October and November.” Producers at these camps include Thurz of Party in my living room, Rance of 1500 or Nothin', Donut and more.
“But we don't run these camps. Someone comes to us and says, “I want to do a writer's camp, and Sno wants to be a part of it,” Sinclair says.

Phipps said, “I go to them as technical support… these are basically people who are interested in exploring the future. All of these people have no problem making incredible records for themselves. They are interested in trying something brand new… At each of these camps, creative reps always have a very different way.”
“As AI becomes part of the creative process of more artists, we are witnessing the paradigm shift that is currently taking place in our studios,” he said. Mikey Shulman, Suno's co-founder and CEO said in a statement. “The studio was built to expand the toolkit for musicians. It doesn't intentionally prescribe workflows so that human talent can stay at the forefront and center. The most exciting thing for us is to put technology in the hands of artists and experiment with everything that remains in their creativity, knowledge and talent in the driver's seat.”
This is the latest in a series of announcements from leading generative AI music companies in recent months. In early June, Suno debuted new editing features such as the “Creative Slider” and the STEM Extraction Tool, giving users more control. Later that month, the company announced its acquisition of browser-based DAW Wavtool. And in July, the company revealed that it had hired former Atlantic Records General Manager Sinclair as the first Chief Music Officer “unlocking new experiences between artists and fans.”
Major music companies, including Warner Music Group, a former Sinclair employer, are still pursuing lawsuits against Suno and its competitor Woodio, claiming they are infringing copyrighted sound recordings on “a nearly unimaginable scale” to train models without a license. In early June, it was reported that the major was in licensing consultations with Suno and Udio to see if a private licensing agreement could be reached.
Most recently, on Friday (September 19), Major updated his lawsuit against Suno, taking clue from Anthropic's recent $1.5 billion copyright settlement, including allegations that Suno had scrapped the song from YouTube, citing exclusives.
