AI music company Suno officially launched Studio 2.0 on August 13, introducing MIDI support and unlimited multitrack exports specifically for its Premier subscription tier. According to reporting by Music Business Worldwide, this update positions the browser-based digital audio workstation as a tool for professional creators rather than casual users. The platform now allows real musicians to record instruments into the system before manipulating the audio using Suno’s specialized tools.
Music Business Worldwide notes that while Suno recently announced download caps for free and lower-tier accounts to deter mass-exporting, Premier subscribers paying twenty-four to thirty dollars monthly now face no such restrictions within Studio 2.0. The platform allows users to import, record, and edit MIDI data, a feature Suno describes as its most requested addition. Additionally, a beta AI chat bar enables users to generate instruments or refine sessions through text prompts, though product leadership emphasizes these tools complement rather than replace traditional recording methods like using a microphone.
This product expansion occurs as Suno navigates complex legal landscapes. The release follows a new global licensing alliance with BMG, yet major music companies like Universal Music Group and Sony Music remain engaged in copyright litigation against the firm. By targeting working musicians with advanced stem separation and automation features, Suno aims to secure a foothold in the professional market despite unresolved legal challenges with other rights organizations including Koda and GEMA.
