Vocal Separation Solutions

Suno AI offers several methods for separating vocals from instrumental tracks, catering to both basic and advanced user needs. These solutions range from built-in features to third-party tools, each with its own strengths and limitations.

Built-in Stem Separation​

For Pro and Premier users, Suno provides a Stems feature that separates vocals from instruments within a created song. This feature can be accessed through the triple dot icon next to the song in either the Library or Create sections. Selecting Get Stems will generate two new tracks: a Vocal version and an Instrumental version, each tagged accordingly. It's important to note that this is a post-creation process, meaning the separation happens after the song is already generated, which may result in imperfect separation.

Third-Party Stem Separation Tools​

While Suno's built-in feature is convenient, users may seek more refined results. Third-party Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) often include stem separation tools that can provide more control over the separation process. These tools are not perfect, but they can often improve the quality of isolated vocals.

Prompt Engineering for Acapellas​

Creating clean acapella tracks directly with Suno can be challenging. While prompts like "acapella" or "only vocal" may not always produce perfect results, experimenting with different prompt combinations can be beneficial. Mixing melodic vocal prompts with spoken word prompts, or incorporating style tags such as “a capella harmonic” or specific vocal styles, can guide Suno to generate more accurate acapella tracks.

Using UVR (Ultimate Vocal Remover)​

For more advanced vocal isolation, users can employ tools like UVR (Ultimate Vocal Remover). This software can further refine the vocal track by removing any remaining background noise or instruments. When combined with an instrumental track, UVR-processed vocals can create a cleaner and more professional sound.

Addressing Sampling Issues​

When working with separated vocal tracks, it's important to be aware of potential sampling issues. Platforms may flag songs that are perceived to contain sampled material. To avoid these issues, it's crucial to:

  • Use Original Content: Ensure all lyrics and compositions are original. Avoid using pre-existing material directly.
  • Modify Prompts and Outputs: Alter prompts and AI-generated outputs to ensure they do not closely resemble existing songs.
  • Dispute Incorrect Claims: If a detection is believed to be incorrect, dispute the claim.
