Using Suno’s Cover Feature as an Upscaler

Understanding the Feature

So, you might have heard about some folks saying Suno’s cover feature just makes identical songs, but actually, it’s pretty powerful. Think of it like using in-painting in image editing — it helps unify and polish your song.

Problem with Cohesion

When you tweak parts of a song with extensions, it can get messy and lose cohesiveness.

For instance, if you try to regenerate a small section, the whole song might not flow well together.

Using Cover as an Upscaler

Step 1: Focus on Structure

First, nail down the song’s structure even if it’s a bit rough around the edges.

Step 2: Run through Cover Feature

Use the cover feature with the same genre tags. This smooths out and unifies the track, making it sound polished.

Example: Here’s a polished cover after a few tweaks: https://suno.com/playlist/66da3c21-4971-4bc6-8142-2193091c1080

Advanced Editing Options

Improving Minor Sections

Right now, Suno doesn’t allow targeting specific parts in the middle of a song for upscaling. But external tools can help.

Example of Sticking Points

A user tried to change just a couple of words and had mixed results. Sometimes it failed, other times it changed too much. For example:

• Original: Feel It
• Tried changes: Changed Song Example #1
• Successful but altered: Changed Song Example #2

Desired New Features

1. Punch Ins

A feature to re-record specific sections without affecting the rest of the track.

2. Trimming

Being able to trim excess parts directly in the platform instead of externally.

Example: Some of these generations are SO GOOD then ruined by weird parts at the end. ⏤ by RemyPrice

Best Practices with Cover

Create Multiple Covers

Try creating multiple covers — cover a cover and so on. The final versions often highlight the best aspects.

External Tools for Fine-Tuning

Use tools like Udio for remixing and polishing. Though, the performance might vary across different genres.

Example: Udio can make things cleaner or mess them up, depending on the genre. ⏤ by RiderNo51

Handling Vocal Changes

If Suno refuses or fails to change specific lyrics or parts, use external editors to manually adjust the vocals.

Example: Original song slightly tweaked but not changing essential lyrics: https://suno.com/song/bb8f1511-1ad6-4e3b-bff8-33dd99ce8480

Conclusion

By using the cover feature creatively, you can enhance the cohesiveness and quality of your songs significantly. Even though it doesn’t work every time perfectly, the potential is huge. Keep experimenting and stay tuned for updates that might bring even more powerful editing features.
