Suno Announces New Editing Feature

Problem with Manual Song Editing

Many users struggle with Suno-generated songs that often include unwanted extra parts or strange additions at the end. Previously, these had to be manually edited using external software like Adobe Audition or BandLab, which was time-consuming and inconvenient.

New Editing Feature on Suno

Suno has now introduced a basic editing tool that allows users to cut or crop sections of a song directly on the platform. This tool is essential for tailoring the final product without needing additional software.

Detailed Knowledge about Tags

Using specific tags during the song creation process can improve the results significantly:

• [fade]: Ensures that the song gradually decreases in volume at the end.
• [end]: Marks the exact point where you want the song to stop.
• Combine these tags for best results, and make sure they are placed correctly within the lyrics.

Optimizing Songs

• Tags can sometimes produce inconsistent results. If this happens, try shifting the tags slightly before or after the problematic sections.
• Mixing multiple tags like [fade], [end], and [outro] can enhance the outcome. Trial and error is often necessary.

Suitable Scenarios

This feature is ideal for:

• Removing unwanted sections at the end of a song.
• Trimming songs to a specific length.
• Adjusting the ending for a better listener experience.
• Preparing songs for public distribution without needing additional software.

Limitations and Drawbacks

Currently, the editing tool is only available on the desktop version. Some users have reported issues with the effectiveness of certain tags, as results can be inconsistent.
