We'll walk you through normalizing audio, using essential plugins, and finalizing your song for a polished, radio-ready sound. Perfect for any creator looking to make their AI-generated music stand out.
So you've created an incredible track with Suno AI, but something feels a little... off. Maybe the volume dips in certain places, or it just doesn't hit as hard as your favorite songs. This is a common hurdle—the default mastering on AI-generated music can sometimes lack that final professional polish.
But don't worry! You can take control and give your music the loudness and consistency it deserves. Here’s how you can manually master your Suno tracks for free using a powerful Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like the free version of FL Studio.
Step 1: Balance the Volume with Normalization
First, let's fix any uneven volume levels. If your verse is much quieter than your chorus, normalizing will help create a more consistent listening experience.
- Action: Open your track in an audio editor (in FL Studio, right-click the waveform and select "Edit in audio editor").
- Process: Select the quieter sections of your song's waveform and apply the "Normalize" function. This boosts the volume of the selected part to a standard level, evening it out with the rest of the track.
Step 2: Enhance and Polish with Plugins
Now for the fun part. Head over to the master channel in the mixer. This is where you'll add effects that process your entire track, gluing everything together.
- Add Power with Soundgoodizer: This simple plugin is fantastic for adding warmth, punch, and perceived loudness. A little goes a long way!
- Widen the Sound with Fruity Stereo Shaper: Want your track to feel bigger and more immersive? Use this to widen the stereo image, making the music sound like it's wrapping around the listener.
- Sculpt Your Sound with Fruity Parametric EQ 2: Think of an EQ as a sonic chisel. Use it to cut out unwanted frequencies. A common practice is to gently roll off the very low-end rumble (below 30-40Hz) and any harsh high-end hiss to clean up the mix.
Step 3: Finalize and Prevent Distortion
Your track is loud and full, but you need to make sure it doesn't "clip"—that ugly distortion that happens when the volume is too high. A visualizer and a limiter are your best friends here.
- Monitor Your Levels: Use a tool like Wave Candy to watch your track's waveform in real-time. Your goal is to keep the loudest peaks from going above -0.3 dB to leave a little headroom.
- Set a Safety Net with a Limiter: Add a limiter (like Fruity Limiter) at the very end of your effects chain. This acts as a protective ceiling, preventing any unexpected peaks from causing distortion and ensuring a clean, powerful final output.
Hear the Difference for Yourself
Words can only do so much. The best way to understand the impact of mastering is to hear it. Check out these before-and-after examples:
