Suno Studio 2.0's new chat feature lets you talk to your DAW like it's a bandmate

With Studio 2.0, Suno turns its AI music platform into a chat-driven DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for Premier subscribers. A new beta chat feature lets users talk to Studio like a bandmate, creating instruments, vocals, or custom plugins through plain text. The update also adds MIDI import, recording, and editing, stem separation, automation curves, and unrestricted multitrack export at 32-bit/48 kHz. Plugin creation doesn't burn any credits yet, though Suno says a credit system may come later.

The unlimited export feature clashes with Suno's own recent announcements. CEO Mikey Shulman had just rolled out new download limits to curb mass distribution of AI-generated songs on streaming platforms. Suno may be betting that paying professionals are less likely to flood those platforms with spam.

The company has also drawn fire for using copyrighted material to train its music models. A German court recently ruled that the service violates German copyright law and that the training doesn't qualify under the U.S. "fair use" doctrine.
