The AI music startup Suno recently released version 4.0 of its music generation model, bringing improvements in audio quality, lyric accuracy, and song structure.
This update includes a new feature called "Remaster," allowing users to upgrade tracks created with the old version of Suno to the high-quality version 4.0.
Additionally, Suno has launched an AI lyrics assistant named "ReMi," designed to help users with their creative process. Currently, version 4.0 is available for testing to Pro and Premier subscribers, but the launch date for free users has not yet been announced.
In addition to the enhancements in music quality, Suno has also undergone a complete upgrade of its cover art creation system, claiming that the new system can create more distinctive designs that better match specific music styles.
Moreover, existing features such as "Covers" and "Personas" have also been updated; the former allows users to reinterpret uploaded audio files, while the latter can save style settings for future use.
However, early user feedback has been mixed. On Suno's Discord channel, some users noted that lyrics have become clearer and more accurate, but several technical issues were also mentioned. For instance, some users reported artifacts from cymbals in metal and rock tracks, insufficient reverb effects, and low volume. User Mook pointed out that the newly introduced remix feature yields inconsistent results; while audio quality may improve, the original characteristics of the songs can be lost.
Additionally, the updated "Personas" feature has encountered some early issues, with users reporting that it often repeats the original lyrics instead of achieving new creations correctly.
The release of this version coincides with Suno and its competitor Udio facing legal challenges from music companies, with lawsuits alleging that these companies used copyrighted music to train their AI models without obtaining proper licenses.
