Following the release of Suno’s V6 music generation model, a wave of user complaints regarding degraded audio quality has emerged within the pro audio community. According to Monthly Mixing, users on the r/SunoAI Reddit forum describe the new output as muffled, dull and lifeless, with vocals often buried and high-frequency content significantly reduced. One user characterized the mix as sounding like a blanket was placed over the speakers, threatening to cancel subscriptions if the issues persist.
Monthly Mixing reports that alongside sonic degradation, critics argue the creative output has become flatter and more homogenous, lacking the melodic character of previous iterations. The publication notes that V6 was developed using licensing agreements with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, replacing earlier models involved in copyright disputes. Some observers suggest to Monthly Mixing that the exclusion of training data from major labels like Universal Music Group and Sony Music, which have not signed deals with Suno, may have reduced dataset diversity enough to impact model performance. These developments highlight potential market consequences for AI music tools as manufacturers navigate complex licensing landscapes that directly affect product utility for retailers and end users.
