Introduction

In parts 1 and 2, we explored the powerful features and advanced techniques of Suno AI. Now it’s time to address a key aspect of AI music production: understanding and working within its limitations. While Suno AI is revolutionary, it is not magic, and understanding its boundaries can help you achieve the best results.

[Prompt]: A musician sits at a modern desk, centered in frame. On the left monitor, traditional sheet music notation flows into a spectrogram visualization. The right monitor shows AI interface controls and waveforms. The musician wears headphones and their hand hovers over a MIDI controller, while their other hand rests on a computer keyboard. A small vintage synthesizer sits at the desk’s edge, connected to the modern setup. — chaos 20 — ar 16:9 — style raw — personalize 6huqhqy — stylize 900 — v 6.1

As someone who has generated hundreds of tracks using Suno, I have encountered nearly all the limitations of the platform. More importantly, I have found ways to address many of these constraints. This knowledge is not meant to lower expectations but to prepare for success by understanding what is possible and how to achieve it.

In this article, we will explore:

• Technical Constraints and Solutions
• Creative Solutions to Common Challenges
• Workflow Optimization Strategies

Technical Limitations

Sound Quality Constraints

Let’s address the elephant in the room: the audio generated by AI is still not comparable to professional studio quality.

Vocal Characteristics:

• Metallic overtones in the high frequencies
• Occasional artificial artifacts
• Inconsistent breath control

Pro Tip: Use simple, clear vowels for better sound clarity. Words with complex consonant clusters often yield less clear results.

Problematic: "Stretched throughout the strength of nights"Improved: "Moving through the summer night"

Examples of problematic lyrics and improved lyrics:

Problematic: “Stretched throughout the strength of nights”
Improved: “Moving through the summer night”

⚠️Common Mistake: Not considering the limitations of sound production when writing lyrics.

Control Limitations in Synthesis

While Suno offers impressive controls, certain musical elements remain challenging:

Timing accuracy issues:

[Verse // Uptempo] // May not match exact BPM[Drop // 128 BPM] // BPM specification often ignored

🔬Try this: Generate the same track multiple times to observe timing variations and identify how Suno interprets tempo directive patterns.

Creative Challenges

Lyric Flow Issues

Natural language processing can sometimes struggle with:

1. Word emphasis
2. Phrasing transitions
3. Repetition handling

Solutions to improve flow:

Original: "I can't believe what you did to me"Improved: "I can't believe what you've done"(Shorter phrases often flow better)Original: [Chorus] The night is young, the night is brightImproved: [Chorus] The night is young (the night is young)(Intentional repetition marked with parentheses)

Pro Tip: Write lyrics with natural breathing points for better flow.

Structural Challenges require careful handling of slice bleeding and transitions:

[Verse 1 // Clear end]Last line of verse[// Short pause][Chorus // Strong start]First line of chorus

🔑Key Point: Clear section boundaries and simple transitions yield better results.

Workflow Limitations

Iterative ConstraintsSuno‘s single iteration nature requires a strategic approach:

Version control example:

Project: Summer_Dance_TrackVersion 1: Base_128BPMVersion 2: Base_128BPM_NewChorusVersion 3: Base_128BPM_NewChorus_AdjustedDrop

Pro Tip: Keep the best prompts in a structured template library.

Process ManagementDespite limitations, workflows can be efficient:

1. Quality Control Checklist:

□ Sound clarity check□ Section transition review□ Overall mix balance□ Structural consistency□ Style consistency

⚠️Common Error: Not tracking successful prompt combinations.

🔬Try this: Create a structured testing protocol for new tracks:

1. Generate a base version
2. Create 3 variants
3. Record what works/does not work
4. Improve methods based on findings

ConclusionUnderstanding Suno’s limitations is not about focusing on the impossible, but mastering what is possible. Every creative tool has limitations, and working within them often leads to unique and innovative solutions.

In part 4, we will explore best practices based on this knowledge to help you create consistently excellent tracks while avoiding common pitfalls.
