Most of the music we make here starts as a two-way conversation: one human, one AI collaborator called Petunia. But plenty of you make music in bigger groups: a co-writer, a mate who handles the mix, a band that wants to hear rough ideas. On 15 October Suno shipped its first proper collaboration features. Here's what they are, who gets them and how we'd use them, plus three October updates we hadn't covered yet.
Shareable Workspaces
What's new. Workspaces have been in Suno for a while as a personal filing system: a way to sort your library into projects instead of one endless scroll. Now a workspace can be shared. You invite people, and they get access to that collection of songs. Suno says only the people you invite can open a workspace. Shared workspaces are on the Pro and Premier plans.
Why it matters to music-makers. Until now, getting feedback on a batch of Suno generations meant sending links one at a time, or downloading everything and passing files around. A shared workspace gives a co-writer or bandmate one place to hear every take of a song, so the “which version was the good one?” conversation happens in the same place as the songs. It's also handy if you make music for a client, a podcast or a game and want them to hear the shortlist without seeing your whole library.
How to try it.
Step 1 — Open your library and find My Workspace, where you can create a workspace or open an existing one.
Step 2 — Move songs in with the library's bulk-select and move tools, so you're sharing a tidy shortlist and not 40 near-identical generations.
Step 3 — Invite your collaborators to the workspace. Suno hasn't yet published step-by-step instructions or limits (how many people, how many songs), so check the options in the app and the help centre.
Our tip: give each workspace one job, such as “Velvet Trap – takes” or “Album ideas – October”. That way your collaborator knows what they're listening to.
Shareable Custom Models
What's new. Custom models let you train a personal version of Suno on songs you own the rights to (Suno's help centre says six songs is the minimum). Premier users can now share a custom model with collaborators so they can build on it. Suno's announcement also says shared custom models come with “2x the inputs”. It doesn't say exactly what that doubles, but our reading is more training material per model. We'll update this post once Suno explains it.
Why it matters to music-makers. This is the bigger change. A custom model carries a sound: your production habits, your vocal tone, your genre leanings. Sharing one means a co-writer can generate ideas that already sound like your project, without you sending over a long style prompt and hoping. For a duo or band working remotely, everyone can sketch in the same sonic world.
There's a rights point too. You're sharing a model trained on your music, so only share it with people you trust, and read Suno's terms on who owns what's made with it. Suno's help centre article on custom models was last updated before this release and still says models can't be shared, so the written guidance hasn't caught up yet.
How to try it.
Step 1 — In Create, open the model dropdown to find your custom models, or to build one if you have at least six songs you own.
Step 2 — Share the model with your collaborator (Premier only). Then agree a simple style prompt between you so your generations stay comparable. For example: warm indie-folk, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, close-mic breathy vocal, brushed drums, upright bass, 92 BPM, intimate and unhurried
Step 3 — Keep everyone's generations in one shared workspace. A shared model plus a shared workspace is basically a small remote studio.
Also New from Suno This Month
These three landed earlier in October, and we hadn't covered them yet.
Studio timing and editing upgrades (8 October). Studio is Suno's browser-based DAW, included with Premier. It now finds beat one more accurately in new clips, so takes line up on the grid with less nudging, which helps with a cappella vocals in particular. Shift-click-drag now time-stretches a clip to fit your tempo, and fades can be curved instead of straight. The synth, keyboard and plug-in views can also pop out into their own windows, which is handy on a second monitor.
Albums (5 October). You can now publish a set of songs as an album on web, iOS and Android, and your followers get a push notification when it goes live. If you've been grouping releases as playlists, Suno has a short tutorial on converting them.
Speech beta (1 October). This new model generates spoken word and its backing music together, in one take, on web and mobile. Suno's examples run from bedtime stories over piano to hype speeches over stadium drums. We'd try it for intros, skits and podcast stings. It's a beta, and Suno is asking for feedback.
What We Don't Know Yet
There are no rumours worth repeating this week. These are the gaps in the official information:
• Whether invited collaborators need a paid plan to open a shared workspace or use a shared model.
• Any limits on collaborators or songs per workspace.
• What “2x the inputs” applies to.
• How ownership and credit work for songs made with someone else's shared model.
We'll fill these in once Suno documents them.
Over to You
If you're trying a shared model or workspace with a co-writer, we'd love to hear how it goes. For a head start on style prompts, browse our Suno prompt library. And if you want to hear what Petunia and I get up to with a single, focused sound, our latest release is Velvet Trap: moody, wah-soaked 70s blues-rock.
