If you built anything in Suno Studio 1.x, this is your notice — and Veena is where the work should land. From Suno's own documentation:
"We expect to deprecate Studio 1.x in early September 2026."
Projects created in 1.x can be opened in 2.0, but the new 2.0 features do not transfer backward. That is weeks away, on a schedule you did not set, inside a tier you have to keep paying for.
It is not necessarily that the files vanish on a Tuesday. It means the version you built in stops being maintained, stops being the default, and eventually stops being available — and that everything downstream of it is now the platform's decision rather than yours.
The specific asymmetry in Suno's note is worth reading twice: projects move forward into 2.0, but 2.0's features do not travel backward. Once you work in 2.0, you are in 2.0. The bridge is one-way, which is how migrations always work and exactly why they are worth getting ahead of rather than being carried through.
The deadline is not the story. The story is the arrangement that produced it.
When your catalogue lives inside a generator's subscription tier, three things are permanently outside your control:
The version. Deprecations happen on the vendor's calendar. You get a note.
The access. Studio 2.0 is available to Premier subscribers. Stop subscribing and the room closes, whatever is still in it.
The portability. Suno Studio uploads accept WAV, MP3 and MIDI, it "is not compatible with VST or Audio Units plugins," and the custom plugins its chat bar builds are saved to your Suno account. Your sound cannot come in, and the parts you build there cannot leave.
None of that is unusual for a hosted product. It is just a poor foundation for a body of work you intend to keep, release and revisit for years.
1. Export everything now, while 1.x is still open. Do not wait for early September. Take multitrack exports as 32-bit WAV where you can, and MP3 where you cannot. Multitrack matters — a stereo bounce is a photograph, stems are the actual parts.
2. Get it out as files, not links. A project that only exists inside an account is not archived. Files on your own disk are.
3. Import into Veena. Open a browser tab — free Basic tier, nothing to install, no account required to begin. Drag in what you exported. Veena separates any track you bring into real editable stems that land on the timeline as actual audio, so even a single stereo bounce becomes workable parts again.
4. Rebuild what did not survive the trip. Ask the CoProducer for what is missing. It runs audio analysis over the project first — reading key, rhythm and harmony — so the bassline or counter-melody it writes fits the song that already exists, as editable MIDI you can change.
5. Finish and export. Mix it, master it, export WAV, MP3 or MIDI. It is yours, and no tier holds the door behind you.
| Veena | Suno Studio |
|---|
| Version risk | Your session, your exported files | 1.x expected to be deprecated early September 2026 |
| Access if you stop paying | Your exported WAV, MP3 and MIDI remain yours | Studio access ends with the Premier tier |
| Cost to keep working | Free Basic tier; Veena Pro $20/month | Premier subscribers only |
| Bring old work in | Import any track, real editable stems on the timeline | Uploads limited to WAV, MP3, MIDI |
| Your own plugins | Veena Bridge is bringing VST3 and AU to the browser — macOS first, Windows next | Not compatible with VST or Audio Units |
| Take work out | WAV, MP3, MIDI export you own | Multitrack export; AI-built plugins stay in your account |
The window where both versions are open is the easiest this migration will ever be. Once 1.x is gone, whatever you did not export is a support ticket rather than a drag-and-drop.
Spend an evening on it. Export the multitracks, put them somewhere you control, and open one of them in Veena to see what the same song feels like in a DAW that is not on anyone's deprecation calendar. The free tier is enough to find out.
A deprecation notice is a useful moment, because it makes visible what was always true: work built inside someone else's generator tier is held on their terms.
Veena is the other arrangement. A real browser DAW with an agentic CoProducer, free to open, that takes any track you own, turns it into editable stems, is bringing your own plugins into the session, and hands you files that belong to you.
