Free Toolchains

When working with AI-generated music from Suno, achieving a professional sound may require additional mastering. Fortunately, several free tools are available to enhance your tracks. Additionally, understanding how to handle copyright claims is crucial for distributing your music.

Mastering with Free Tools​

AI-generated music may sometimes lack the desired loudness and consistency. To address this, manual mastering with free tools can provide greater control over the final output.

FL Studio (Free Version)​

FL Studio's free version offers powerful capabilities for mastering. Here's a step-by-step approach:

  1. Normalization: Open your track in FL Studio and normalize sections with varying volume levels to create a consistent sound. This can be done by right-clicking the waveform, selecting Edit in audio editor, choosing the segments, and then applying the Normalize function.
  2. Mixer/Master Adjustments: Use the mixer/master window in FL Studio to fine-tune your audio. Plugins like Soundgoodizer can enhance the sound, Fruity Stereo Shaper can create stereo effects, and Fruity Parametric EQ 2 can cut unwanted low or high frequencies. Start by adjusting the master track and then applying these plugins in the following order: Soundgoodizer -> Fruity Stereo Shaper -> Parametric EQ.
  3. Waveform Monitoring: Monitor the waveform using Wave Candy to ensure no peaks exceed -0.3 dB, preventing clipping and distortion. Adjust the settings of Soundgoodizer and Maximus while monitoring the waveform. Finish by applying a limiter for safety.

Consistent monitoring of loudness and quality is essential throughout the process to maintain a balanced sound. Experimenting with different settings in mastering plugins will help you find the best sound for your track.

When distributing AI-generated music, you might encounter copyright claims. To resolve these, you must demonstrate your rights to use the generated content.

Proof of Licensing and Ownership​

  1. Pro Account Status: Provide screenshots of your Pro account on Suno, which includes licensing permissions. This shows you are authorized to distribute the music commercially.
  2. Terms of Use: Include screenshots of Suno AI's terms of use or licensing agreements, which clarify the rights granted to you for the music generated under your account.
  3. Account Matching: Demonstrate the connection between your Suno account and your distributor or streaming platform account using screenshots. This helps your distributor understand that you have the rights to the music.

Always keep backups of all documents proving your rights to the music. Engage directly with your distributor’s support to discuss specific claims and seek clarification on flagged content. Be prepared to challenge false positives, which are common with AI-generated content, by disputing them directly on the distribution platform.

Platform-Specific Considerations​

Different platforms handle AI-generated content differently, with some having stricter detection algorithms. User experiences can provide insight into platform-specific challenges and solutions. Some users have successfully uploaded tracks to platforms like Spotify and SoundCloud without issues, while others may face flags.
