Suno Launches Studio 2.0 With MIDI Support, AI Chat Bar, and Unlimited Exports for Premier Users
Suno rolled out Studio 2.0, the latest version of its browser-based digital audio workstation, on August 13 — a day after announcing a global licensing alliance with BMG that made the music publisher the first rightsholder to license the AI music platform since Warner Music Group.

A DAW, for anyone unfamiliar with the term, is the software where producers record, arrange and mix music — think of it as the recording studio condensed into a screen. Suno's version runs entirely in a web browser and folds AI-powered generation into the traditional workflow.
The headline feature is MIDI support, which Suno calls the most requested addition since the original Studio launched in beta last September. MIDI — the digital language that lets instruments, controllers and software talk to each other — lets users plug in a hardware keyboard to play chords, basslines and melodies on built-in synths, then record and edit those parts on the timeline. MIDI clips can also be used as prompts to generate new audio, bridging human performance with AI generation. (Suno Blog)
Studio 2.0 also adds a beta AI chat bar. Users can talk to it like a collaborator: it can create instruments and vocals from scratch, build custom plugins, tidy up sessions and even generate entirely new, unique plugins. Advanced stem separation — splitting a finished track into individual instrument and vocal layers — new audio effects and automation controls round out the update. (Suno Blog)
For exports, Suno said Premier subscribers can now download 32-bit/48kHz multitracks and stems from Studio 2.0 without limitations, and that there will be no download limits within Studio itself going forward. (Music Business Worldwide)
That generosity inside Studio sits alongside a broader tightening of Suno's download policy. Effective September 3, Suno will cap monthly song downloads across its tiers. Free users — who can generate up to 10 songs daily without a subscription — are limited to seven downloads for the lifetime of their account. Pro subscribers, paying $8 to $10 a month, get 20 downloads per month. Premier subscribers, on $24 to $30 a month, are capped at 60. (Music Business Worldwide)
Studio remains available only to Premier subscribers. Suno built the workstation on its 2025 acquisition of WavTool, a browser-based DAW, and describes it as a first-of-its-kind web-based generative audio workstation combining traditional DAW functionality with AI-powered music creation.

Suno claims that Grammy-winning artists have used Suno Studio to make chart-topping hits — a claim the company has not elaborated on with specific names or records. The company also says it is a top 10 music app on iOS and Android, with its iOS app rated 4.9 across over 363,000 reviews and its Android app rated 4.8 across over 653,000 reviews.

For users who want finer control over AI-generated material, Studio 2.0 will let them target specific song sections for AI regeneration, according to a post on Suno's official Instagram. That means a verse or chorus can be reworked in isolation rather than regenerating an entire track. (Suno Instagram)
Henry Phipps, Suno's Studio Product Manager, is steering the update. The platform's trajectory — from AI song generator to a workstation with MIDI, stems, automation and a conversational assistant — tracks a clear push toward professional-grade tools that still run in a browser tab.
