Workflow Examples

Common recipes for different use cases.

Minimal — just get stems into Ableton

1
2
suno-to-ableton process ~/suno-exports/my-song --export-als
# Open processed/Song.als in Ableton

Full analysis — inspect before committing

# 1. Read-only scan — see BPM, stem inventory, alignment info
suno-to-ableton analyze ~/suno-exports/my-song

# 2. Dry run — see what processing would do without writing files
suno-to-ableton process ~/suno-exports/my-song --dry-run

# 3. Process for real
suno-to-ableton process ~/suno-exports/my-song --export-als

Fix bad stems

When Suno's stems have bleed or quality issues, generate AI alternatives and auto-pick the better version:

1
2
3
4
5
suno-to-ableton process ~/suno-exports/my-song \
  --separate-missing \
  --choose-stems \
  --apply \
  --export-als

See Stem Quality Judgment and Separation Strategy for details.

Clean up MIDI for your own synths

When you want to use Suno's MIDI with your own instruments but the transcription has wrong notes:

1
2
3
4
5
suno-to-ableton process ~/suno-exports/my-song \
  --repair-midi \
  --requantize-midi --requantize-mode light \
  --apply \
  --export-als

See Harmonic MIDI Repair and MIDI Requantization for details.

Deep analysis — everything on

Run every advanced feature for maximum analysis and cleanup:

suno-to-ableton process ~/suno-exports/my-song \
  --export-als \
  --detect-sections \
  --choose-grid-anchor \
  --repair-midi \
  --requantize-midi --requantize-mode light \
  --separate-missing \
  --choose-stems \
  --apply

Preview without applying

Most advanced features support preview mode — analyze and print results without modifying files. Just omit --apply:

# See what MIDI repair would fix
suno-to-ableton repair-midi ~/suno-exports/my-song

# See which stems would be replaced
suno-to-ableton choose-stems ~/suno-exports/my-song

# See detected sections
suno-to-ableton detect-sections ~/suno-exports/my-song

Batch processing

Process multiple songs in sequence:

1
2
3
4
for song in ~/suno-exports/*/; do
  echo "Processing: $song"
  suno-to-ableton process "$song" --export-als
done
