This all brings me back to my early days as a sound engineer in the studio, during the monumental transition from analog to digital. That shift was revolutionary: recordings became sharper, more precise, and sometimes even better. But something essential was lost in the process. A flawless recording doesn’t guarantee that the soul of the music is preserved. In the pursuit of technical perfection, emotion, composition, and arrangement were often left behind. Today, with the rise of 4.0 technology, this issue feels even more pronounced. Sure, voices sound pure, and arrangements are impeccably polished, but much of the work lacks depth and heart. These are voices I would never have recorded in the studio back then: they don’t move you, they carry no weight, and they tell no story. The result? Polished perfection without soul-and that might be the greatest tragedy of all. Take Suno AI, for example. I was an early adopter and admirer of their work. But recently, they seem to have lost their way. The results are technically superior but compositionally weaker. Clicks, strange tones, even moments where the AI clearly struggles: is this due to technological limitations or the influence of record labels pulling strings behind the scenes? As a former a&r producer for a label, I know how intense the pressure to deliver can be. But the difference between a track worth releasing and one destined for the shelf is undeniable. Much of what now emerges on 4.0 platforms would never have been released back then. I would take an imperfect recording on an old cassette over a lifeless studio masterpiece any day. A great composition can always be re-recorded, refined, and revived. But a soulless track? It’s dead on arrival. 4.0 developers must take this to heart: artistry must always take precedence over technical refinement. For professional users, this is a crucial truth. Perhaps the average home listener doesn’t notice it immediately, but for those of us who care deeply about the soul of music, this direction feels like a step backward. Companies like Udio may deliver perfectly produced recordings, but they lack the soul that once set Suno apart. Even Suno’s recent work feels like a shadow of what it once was. Let’s hope they find their way back. Because without emotion, without stories, all that remains of music is an empty echo.
v4 not good, I remastered 4 of my tracks and they sound different from the original. Clicking noises in the background, oversaturated highs and bass. Bummer!
The V4 just change my persona voice a recreate several song with that persona she song Latina on V3.5 now she have different voice with new accent they need to fix that
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS! I wanna remaster a song that i’ve done with a different profile then my main account (where i have a paid subscription with the V4) but i can’t see the “get the whole song” option that i see with others people song in the app home. I’ve made the song public with the other account, but still i don’t see the option. U need another subscription in the other account? Or there’s a way without it? Please let me know 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks a lot

v4 not good,

Bummer!
Yep it’s not going to work for every situation. I’ve tried something similar but agree we have limited control about what we want the tool to do
The V4 just change my persona voice a recreate several song with that persona she song Latina on V3.5 now she have different voice with new accent they need to fix that
cool vid nice demo
Thanks check out my latest video for generations

Some songs particularly older generations do not show the remastered version
V4 is awesome, but the 4min limit didn't work for me, some of my songs are over 4min long.
That’s good news
So extend the songs? I've made 10 minute songs.
Quality is better, but sound is much more generic, cliché, and less creative now with v4.
Cool
Downgraded for Cover Song ... v3.5 is better for this function
Ok that’s a good option too
Well, still not convinced against udio. To bad.
