Suno integrated AI-powered music editing tools into a browser-based studio environment called Suno Studio, launched in 2025 following its acquisition of WavTool in June 2025. The studio lets users edit, remix, and refine AI-generated tracks using tools including stem separation, AI-generated MIDI, and a song editor.
After acquiring WavTool—a browser-based DAW with AI capabilities—Suno incorporated those tools into its own platform. Suno Studio offers features such as section-level editing (replace, extend, crop), stem separation that splits a song into individual instrument tracks, AI-generated MIDI output, VST plugin support, live recording, and an in-app chatbot for real-time music editing guidance. As of early 2026, Suno Studio is in beta and requires a Premier subscription (approximately $30/month).
Suno offers 'Add Vocals' and 'Add Instrumentals' features, introduced in the v4.5+ update in May 2025, that allow users to layer AI-generated vocals onto existing instrumental tracks or generate AI-produced backing music around an uploaded vocal recording. These features are available to paid subscribers.
Add Vocals lets a user upload an instrumental track and receive AI-generated vocals matched to it, while Add Instrumentals lets a user upload a vocal recording (even a simple hummed melody) and receive a full AI-produced instrumental arrangement around it. A third related feature called 'Inspire' allows users to point the AI at one of their own playlists and receive a newly generated track that matches the musical style of those songs. These features are described by Suno as 'first-of-their-kind professional audio production tools' and are restricted to Pro and Premier subscribers.
