Suno has released Studio 2.0, expanding its AI music-making software with features intended to make it resemble a conventional digital audio workstation. The update matters because it adds tools musicians expect, while also deepening the role of AI in tasks normally handled manually during music production.

The main addition is MIDI support, allowing users to play musical ideas and ask Suno to turn them into audio, extend melodies or develop new sections. Studio 2.0 also adds track automation, built-in effects including reverb, compression and EQ, and a basic proprietary synth, though it still lacks third-party plugin or VST support. A session-aware chatbot can generate lyrics or instrument parts, adjust vocals and create reusable custom effects, raising questions about how much creative and technical work users will need to do themselves.
