Using Suno’s Cover Feature as an Upscaler
This content is not available in your language yet.
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.
Comment: Rather than seeing them as duplicates, see them as polished versions. ⏤ by Pontificatus_Maximus
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.
