I tried Suno Studio the new platform that mixes AI music generation with hands-on editing – like GarageBand, but smarter (www.techradar.com)

Suno Studio, billed as the “world’s first generative audio workstation,” combines AI-driven music generation with a multitrack, GarageBand/Pro Tools–style editor so users can start from a hummed idea, a text prompt or tiny fragment and grow a full track without prior MIDI or instrument knowledge. The desktop-only platform (currently gated behind a $30/month Premier tier) ships alongside Suno’s v5 music model and offers stem-based workflows: generate beats, isolate vocals, swap drum parts, tweak pitch/tempo/volume, issue musical-language commands (e.g., “make the synth sound more dreamy” or “give me a funky bassline in 6/8”), and export audio or MIDI for further production. For creators and the AI/ML community this is significant because it blurs composition and synthesis, lowering the input bar for music production and enabling rapid ideation and stem-level editing inside a single, generative DAW. Technical implications include simplified prompt/audio conditioning and instant stem exportability, but also practical limits: outputs can feel generic and require hands-on refinement, and Suno deliberately blocks imitation of specific artists. The company faces lawsuits alleging copyrighted training data, raising legal risk for commercial use; plus broader concerns about homogenization, discoverability overload on streaming platforms, and what it means for creative labor even as the tool proves useful as a collaborator for skilled musicians.
