Suno, a leading AI music model, has just released a major update - v5.5. This new version gives users more control over the music generated by the AI, which is a significant departure from previous updates that focused on improving fidelity and creating more natural vocals. The update includes three key features: Voices, My Taste, and Custom Models.

The Voices feature is one of the most requested by users, allowing them to train the vocal model on their own voice. This can be done by uploading clean accapellas, finished tracks with backing music, or by singing directly into the mic on their phone or laptop. The quality of the recording plays a significant role in determining the amount of data required for training. To prevent voice theft, Suno requires users to speak a verification phrase, although this may not be foolproof with existing AI models of celebrity voices.

Custom Models enable users to train Suno on their own music by uploading at least six tracks from their catalog and giving the custom model a name. This allows users to guide v5.5 responses to prompts using their own music. My Taste, on the other hand, learns users' tastes and preferences over time, applying them when generating music styles. While My Taste is available to all users, Voices and Custom Models are reserved for Pro and Premier subscribers.

Suno's v5.5 update is a significant step towards making AI music more personalized and user-friendly. The inclusion of Voices and Custom Models features will likely appeal to music producers and artists in Nigeria, who can now use AI to create music that reflects their unique style and sound. This development could potentially open up new opportunities for Nigerian music producers and artists to collaborate with AI and create innovative music.
