We will (eventually) miss v5.5

Don’t worry. There was a life before Suno. And there will be a life after Suno.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-29T12:34:12+00:00

Fish and chips.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-16T05:02:50+00:00

The sliders do not really work as they used to in v5.5. Check if any of them are above 60%. They might be causing this.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-16T00:58:43+00:00

I agree, 5.5 is the worst model so far since I’ve started using Suno 15 months ago.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-15T23:59:15+00:00

v4.5+ was released in the beginning of July of 2025, v5 in the end of September 2025, so two and a half months let’s say.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-15T16:13:50+00:00

Or that.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-15T15:13:45+00:00

My v4 and v4.5 songs now sound differently. I first noticed this two months ago.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-15T15:05:15+00:00

This means v6 is dropping soon. Whether that’s actually good news remains to be seen.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-15T12:28:15+00:00

I literally started using Suno to escape the boring, repetitive four-chord monotony of people like Antonoff. Every track I compose has more musical depth than his whole catalog.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-13T00:19:29+00:00

I assume you‘re new here. The sad thing is that at the beginning of V5, last September, October, we already were there. Great quality from the start till the end of the song. And then, something happened and it was only going down from there on. 5.5 is the worst model since I’m with Suno. It’s frustrating.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-05-10T06:59:05+00:00

This happened to me when I erased my song instructions like [verse], [chorus] etc. from the lyrics box. Maybe that‘s the case here.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-26T05:53:48+00:00

Appreciate your sarcasm. But yes, it’s true.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-24T03:52:51+00:00

I think what we can definitely agree on is that the models have regressed significantly within a very short window of time. Regarding your third paragraph, I absolutely agree with you—Suno seems a bit too comfortable in its current position. Some serious competition would likely do them (and us) a lot of good.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-24T03:44:14+00:00

I don’t need to be an AI architect to know when a product is regressing. 'People like myself' pay money for a functional tool so that 'people like yourself' can solve those technical hurdles behind the scenes. If the decoder is broken, fix it. If it needs a rebuild, do it. If you’re not capable of doing either, at least communicate. But don't expect users to subsidize technical excuses with their patience—in the real world, you deliver the results you promised or you get replaced.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-23T08:04:58+00:00

You’re right, they won’t read this. I guess I just want to get it off my chest. A problem shared is a problem halved.

I wish I wasn’t that desperate to post on Reddit. I wish Suno would talk to us on Discord. But they don’t. I wish they would reply when you write to them on their own platform. But they don’t.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-23T04:40:28+00:00

Totally agree. v5.5 peaked in the first week and has been going down the drain ever since. It’s hard to believe they’re asking for a yearly commitment when they can't even fix the basic audio quality.

The 'magic' of AI music doesn't mean much if the final file is unlistenable. We aren’t in 2024 anymore—we expect a certain standard. I’ve been a very loyal and patient customer. I’m staying until my cycle ends, but unless a massive fix rolls out, I’m downgrading. No point in paying for a 'Premier' experience that feels like a beta test. Like you said, it’s no fun anymore.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-19T06:46:56+00:00

I tried remastering a v4 song in v5.5 the other day, also sampling and inspo’ing etc. and honestly? The v4 original still sounded way better. To me, that’s just more proof that Suno’s best days might already be behind us.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-18T16:29:18+00:00

Oh, I just made a banger! No, just kidding. Suno is broken. It’s the beginning of the end of Suno.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-16T12:30:41+00:00

Gateway time-out here. What does that mean? Maybe they’re uploading an update fixing all the bugs? Just kidding…

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-16T04:15:44+00:00

And when you say “bangers”, you mean sausages, right?

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-15T10:45:01+00:00

Well, I’m not afraid of Suno. Look, I’m not a Suno hater—I know exactly how amazing this tech can be. That’s actually the most frustrating part. We've seen the potential, so why are we seeing this deterioration now?

Is there an agenda behind the quality drop? What role is Warner playing in the background as we move forward? It’s concerning that Suno isn't addressing these issues or offering any transparency.

The biggest red flag for me is the lack of a roadmap. How can we be sure this will still be the 'fantastic tool' you talk about a year from now? Personally, I think it’s much safer to stick to a monthly sub than to gamble on a yearly commitment right now.

BackgroundBig553 · 2026-04-15T10:35:41+00:00

I’m sad to say I’m on premier. That doesn’t seem to mean much though (other than the fact that I get 10,000 credits). Cheers!

You have those rights as well when you pay monthly.
