Complete guide to Suno
Getting started
Go to suno.com and create a free account. On the main screen, write a description of the song style you want (genre, mood, theme) or paste your own lyrics directly, then hit generate: in under a minute you get two complete versions of the song, with music and vocals. You can listen to them, download them or keep editing them. No musical knowledge is needed: the more specific you are about genre, instrumentation and emotion, the closer the result will be to what you have in mind.
Use cases
Compose complete songs
Generate songs with lyrics, vocals and instrumentation from a simple text description or from lyrics you have already written.
Keep a consistent voice across several songs
Save a Persona (a unique vocal fingerprint) and apply it across an entire album of songs to keep the tracks consistent.
Remix and transform existing tracks
Change the genre, vocal performance or tone of an already generated song without losing its underlying structure.
Professional editing in Suno Studio
Split a song into up to 12 individual stems (drums, bass, vocals, guitar...) and adjust the mix without regenerating the track from scratch.
Advanced setup
- Create and use a PersonaSave your own vocal fingerprint as a Persona to reuse the same voice across different songs, keeping a project or a whole album consistent.
- RemixOpen Remix from the three-dot menu of a generated song: you can change the genre, adjust the production, change the vocal performance with a Persona, or keep the structure while changing the overall tone.
- Extend a songFrom the three-dot menu, select "Extend" and specify the point (for example, 1:50) where you want the song to continue.
- Stem separation (Stems)Extract a specific instrument or vocal from the mix, getting two tracks: the selected one and the rest. Suno Studio can split up to 12 individual stems, available on the Pro and Premier plans.
Tips
- Describe the genre and mood with concrete musical vocabulary ("melancholic acoustic ballad", "energetic 80s synthpop") instead of vague descriptions.
- If you like a song but the voice doesn't fit, use Remix with a different Persona instead of regenerating the whole song from scratch.
- Use Extend when you like the structure but need the song to run longer, instead of generating a completely new version.
- For projects with several songs that need to sound cohesive, create a Persona once and reuse it on all of them.
- If you need professional remixing (raising or lowering the vocals, changing the bass), use Suno Studio with stem separation instead of editing the full audio.
