Overview of Suno v3.5 Release
Suno v3.5 has been released with significant improvements in audio quality and longer generation times. However, users have reported various issues and mixed experiences with this update.
Issue 1: Longer Generation Times
Description
The update results in longer generation times for songs, which some users find acceptable if it leads to better quality.
Example
"Not going to complain about that, as long as the quality is better as well."Issue 2: Improved Audio Quality
Description
Initial tests indicate a noticeable improvement in audio quality, especially for electronic and dubstep styles. However, some users still experience the chorus-like effect.
Example
"I made a Phonk Polka song and it sounds MUCH cleaner."Issue 3: Difficulty Generating Obscure Styles
Description
Users find it challenging to generate obscure music styles with v3.5, often receiving basic and unrelated styles instead.
Example
"I reused my prompt of Indian folk, ambient, baccata mix, but got slow country music instead."Issue 4: Ignoring Musical Styles and Genres
Description
The new version sometimes ignores the specified musical styles and genres, producing generic new pop songs regardless of the prompts.
Example
"V3.5 results are super basic new pop songs regardless of prompts."Issue 5: Vocal Quality Issues
Description
Despite improvements in audio quality, the vocal quality remains problematic, with distortion and “demon choir” effects still present.
Example
"Anyone know if 3.5 or v4 cleared up the demon chorus/distorted vocals?"Issue 6: Prompt Generator Glitches
Description
The prompt generator occasionally fails to retain previous prompts, resulting in incorrect song generations. Users report needing to add punctuation to correct the issue.
Example
"Put a full stop in the prompt when trying again and it generated fine."Issue 7: Pop-Washed Outputs
Description
Users attempting to create various genres, such as metal, often end up with songs that sound overly poppy.
Example
"Trying to make metal and it sounds great, then the vocals come in and it is so poppy sounding every time."Tips for Better Results
