How to Export Suno AI Stems to FL Studio for Mixing
Learn how to separate Suno AI tracks into stems (vocals, drums, bass) and import them into FL Studio for professional mixing. A complete workflow guide for AI music producers.
One of the biggest challenges with AI music generators like Suno AI is that they usually give you a single, flattened audio file. If you want to mix the drums, process the vocals, or rearrange the bassline in a DAW like FL Studio, you're stuck.
In this guide, I'll show you my exact workflow for turning a flat Suno generation into workable stems that you can mix and master professionally.
The Problem: One File, No Control
When you generate a song on Suno, you get a complete mix. This is great for listening, but terrible for production. You can't:
- Sidechain the kick to the bass
- Add reverb only to the vocals
- Fix a muddy low end without ruining the rest of the track
To fix this, we need to "demix" the track using AI stem separation.
Step 1: Get the Highest Quality Audio
First, make sure you download the audio from Suno in the highest quality possible.
- Go to your Suno Library.
- Click the "..." menu on your track.
- Select Download Audio.
[!TIP] If you have a Pro account, check if WAV download is available. MP3s introduce compression artifacts that can make stem separation sound "swirly."

Step 2: Separate the Stems
There are several tools to do this. My favorite free option is Ultimate Vocal Remover (UVR5), but there are easier online alternatives too.
Option A: Ultimate Vocal Remover (Best Quality)
UVR5 is a free, open-source program that runs locally on your computer. It uses advanced AI models to separate tracks with incredible precision.
- Download: Get it from GitHub.
- Model: Use the "MDX-Net" models for the cleanest separation.
- Output: Select "Instrumental/Vocals" first, then split the instrumental into "Drums/Bass/Other."
Option B: Online Splitters (Easiest)
If you don't want to install software, sites like Fadr or Lalal.ai work well, though they may have paid limits.
Step 3: Import into FL Studio
Once you have your separate files (Vocals.wav, Drums.wav, Bass.wav, Other.wav), it's time to bring them into FL Studio.
- Open FL Studio and set your project tempo.
- Note: You'll need to find the BPM of your Suno track. Tap tempo or use an online BPM detector.
- Drag and drop your stem files into the Playlist.
- Align the Grid: Make sure the downbeat hits exactly on the grid line. You might need to trim silence from the start of the stems.
Step 4: Processing and Mixing
Now the fun begins. Treat these stems like you recorded them yourself.
- Vocals: Add your favorite compressor (like OTT or Pro-Q 3) and some reverb.
- Drums: Use a transient shaper to bring back some punch that might have been lost in the separation process.
- Bass: Make sure it's mono below 120Hz.
Conclusion
By separating your Suno tracks into stems, you unlock a whole new level of creative control. You're no longer just "generating" music—you're producing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Currently, Suno AI does not offer a direct "export stems" feature for all users, though it is a requested feature. You typically need to use third-party AI stem splitters to separate the audio.
Tools like Ultimate Vocal Remover (UVR5) and various online AI splitters are popular choices for separating Suno tracks into high-quality stems.
