Today we’re spotlighting CB-AI and an in-depth tutorial that shows how to make precise lyric edits in Suno’s new editor—without rebuilding your whole track. If you’ve ever needed to swap a phrase, insert a word, or update a chorus across repeats, this is the workflow to learn.

What You’ll Master
- Set up success: Match Lyrics to Audio for accurate tracking
- Organize your song into clean, named sections (Hook/Verse/Instrumental)

- Technique 2: Add words without breaking timing
- Technique 3: Update repeated sections (e.g., chorus) consistently
Fast Start Cheatsheet
Foundation
- … → Remix/Editor → Open in Editor
- Run Match Lyrics to Audio before any edits
- Name & color sections (e.g., Hook 1, Verse 1)
- Use the beat ruler (think in groups of 4 and 8)
Micro Edits
- Select the exact phrase → Replace Lyrics
- Click Fix Alignment (pink handles) to match span precisely
- Match syllable count & phrasing for best results
- Commit → Heal Edits on the following section to smooth tone
Key Ideas from the Video (with Timestamps)
- 00:52 Demo: hear the base song for context
- 05:21 Match Lyrics to Audio: make Suno “know” the true words before editing
- 11:40 Organize Sections: split on musical boundaries (beats/phrases), label & color
- 16:03 Technique 1: replace a small phrase; align span; match syllables
- 22:26 Heal Edits: blend the replacement into the next section
- 24:59 Technique 2: add words (e.g., fix “in feels” → “in the fields”) and preserve timing
- 31:23 Technique 3: copy a successful replacement across repeated hooks/choruses using beat counts
Pro Tips
- Alignment first. Poor span selection = poor generations.
- Count syllables. If you must change count, add tiny pauses (commas) or test variants.
- Heal smart. If the voice timbre shifts, run Heal Edits and trim its range.
- Beat math. Note start beat and length (in beats) of a good replacement; reuse those numbers on repeats.
- Version discipline. Commit good takes; keep notes on which generations worked and why.
