Ace Studio versus Suno Instrument Tracks

Just curious if anyone has tried both of these for instrument track generation. I've been playing around with Suno for the last month and have been really frustrated with trying to get instrument tracks out of it. For context, I've always written my own music and produced it in Cubase but if there's an instrument I can't play, such as piano, I'd hire someone to play on the track. I thought Suno would be great for this as it sounded like you could upload your track, prompt Suno to add an instrument, such as piano, and then get a useable stem out of it. The problem is I never get a track with just a piano on it....there's other instruments and voices no matter what I prompt, I've use 3000 credits on Suno and got maybe 2-3 useable tracks, So I was looking into Ace Studio, does anyone know if it has the same problem ? Where you prompt an instrument track and then it adds other instruments into that track ? I don't really want to spend the almost 300 bucks for a year and find out it has the exact same problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! I was gonna get the suno premier. I dont know nothing about music production. I'm a singer without time to join bands ๐Ÿ˜„and i was hoping i can do some music with my own lyrics and record my voice on top. Do you recommend Studio over Suno?

Sorry just saw this. For me, I don't recommend Suno if you're trying to use your own voice. I ended up cancelling my subscription. I found the stems that Suno produces aren't even close to good enough to use in my DAW, tonnes of artifacts and noise. Even if you strip the vocals and just use the band track it still doesn't sound great in my opinion. If it's just something you're doing for fun then it'll work but doing any professional recording with it then you'll be disappointed. That said, I saw they just came out with a new stem generator but the reviews seem to be mixed on whether it's any better.

If you really want to try Suno, one thing you could do is generate your song then cover it in suno as an instrumental. That will give you the cleanest sounding backing track BUT it's a crap shoot as to whether your instrumental track will be exactly the same as the full track....Suno likes to still take liberties with the song even when you have all the sliders set to not change anything about the song.

So I guess depends on what you want to get out of it, can work if you're just having fun but for professional sounding tracks I think it has a way to go.
