How to Download Stems from Suno and Mix Them in a DAW

A finished Suno song is a single mixed file, but for serious editing you want the parts separated. Suno can export stems, typically a vocal stem and an instrumental stem, which you can load into a DAW like Audacity, Reaper, or GarageBand to rebalance levels, add effects, or swap one part out. This guide covers exporting stems and a basic re-mix.

What you need

• A Suno song you generated (stem export may require a paid plan)
• A DAW installed; Audacity is free and used in the examples
• Some disk space for WAV files, which are larger than MP3

Step 1: Export stems from Suno

Open your song's three-dot menu and look for Stems or Get Stems. Suno processes the track and returns separated files, usually a vocals stem and a backing or instrumental stem. Download each one. WAV is the best choice for editing because it is uncompressed.

Step 2: Import both stems into your DAW

In Audacity, use File then Import then Audio, and bring in both WAV files. They will appear as two stacked tracks that start at the same point, so they stay perfectly aligned. In other DAWs, drag the files onto two separate tracks.

Step 3: Rebalance levels and add light processing

Now you can do what a single mixed file will not allow. Lower the instrumental a couple of decibels so the vocal sits on top, or add a touch of reverb to just the vocal track. Make small moves; aggressive processing on AI-generated stems can expose separation artifacts.

Step 4: Export the new mix

When the balance sounds right, export a single file. In Audacity it is File then Export then Export as WAV or Export as MP3. The example below shows the command-line equivalent if you prefer to batch-convert your final WAV with ffmpeg.

Result: a re-balanced version of your Suno song where the vocal and instrumental are independently controlled, exported as a clean final file, all built from your own original generation.
