8.1 Covers Feature

Use your Persona (or a new uploaded audio) to “re-sing” an existing Suno song.

Workflow:

1. Find a Suno song you like (yours or public)
2. Click “Create Cover”
3. Choose a Persona or upload reference audio
4. Generate

Result: Keeps original melody and arrangement, but with a new voice.

Use cases:

• Try different voices on the same song
• Sing AI-generated songs with your own voice
• Create alternate versions

8.2 Audio Input

Upload reference audio to guide generation:

1. Melody reference: Hum a melody — AI references the melodic contour
2. Rhythm reference: Tap a rhythm — AI references the groove
3. Full song reference: Upload a song — AI references the overall feel

Notes:

• AI “references” rather than “copies” — results may differ from expectations
• Better audio quality = more accurate AI understanding
• You’re responsible for copyright

8.3 Practical Recommendations

Audio Input is still unstable. If you have a clear vision, text prompts are often more controllable.

Good for:

• Vague melody ideas you can’t notate
• Exploring AI’s creativity from a sound

Not ideal for:

• Exact song replication
• Stable, repeatable output
