Sonura, also written Sonura Studio, is an artist-led AI music studio that creates loops, one-shots, vocals, sound effects, stems and full tracks from a text description. It runs in the browser and also inside a DAW through the Sonura Flow plugin. The company is based in London and was founded by Kindred Salway and Blue Bookhard, both musicians.
Sonura positions itself against tools that generate a finished song and leave little room to edit. It produces parts that can be shaped, layered and split into stems. The company says it builds on licensed music rather than scraped catalogs, and it lists membership of Music Technology UK. Its site names Suno, Udio, Splice, Soundraw, AIVA and Moises as tools it serves as an alternative to.
Work starts with a description. In the web studio a user types something like dusty boom bap drums at 90 BPM, and the part lands on the timeline at the project tempo. More parts are added the same way, or recorded as MIDI or audio. The site reports an average creation time under 10 seconds, with loops in 5 to 8 seconds.
From there the workflow resembles a normal DAW. Parts can be cut, looped and redone for a bar range, then arranged into sections and mixed with effects, sidechain and one-click mixing. Composer, the built-in chat assistant, can set the key or tempo, write parts and apply mix moves. The finished track exports as WAV or MP3, or as separate stems.
The core of the product is prompt-based creation of loops, one-shots, vocals, sound effects and full tracks across genres such as trap, house, techno, pop, jazz, lo-fi, drill and cinematic. Full tracks can be split into drums, bass, melody, vocals and FX stems, and stem export is available on every plan, including the free one.
Around that sits a working studio: a piano roll, MIDI and audio recording with a one-bar count-in, and a mixer with EQ, compression, reverb, delay, chorus, distortion and filters on each channel. Collaborators can be invited to a project as editors. The free Sonura Flow VST3 and AU plugin adds creation inside Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio and other hosts.

Sonura has a Free plan and three paid plans: Starter at $10/month, Pro at $20/month and Max at $45/month. The site shows higher figures ($20, $40 and $90) next to these prices. Plans are month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time.

Sonura Flow is a free VST3 and AU plugin for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Studio One, Bitwig, Cubase, Reaper and GarageBand on Mac and Windows. Stems and mixes can also be exported into any other DAW.
Yes, on every plan including Free. Any track can be split into drums, bass, melody, vocals and FX, and the full mix can be exported as WAV or MP3.
According to Sonura, Suno makes finished songs, while Sonura makes parts you can edit, with stems on every plan and a plugin that puts them in your DAW.
The company says no DAW knowledge or music theory is required, since users describe what they want. A reviewer quoted on the site describes going from zero to a complete song with almost no learning curve.
