How to master Suno piano for a sleep or study channel
A sleep piano master should disappear into the room. If you hear the limiter pumping, the video will not last two hours. Use a quieter target and less processing than a pop preset.
Channel rules that beat generic AI mastering
Keep dynamics. Keep stereo stable. Do not brighten the top until it hisses on earbuds. Check the last 30 seconds of a long loop — fatigue shows up there first.
Preset
Piano / Lullaby, about -16 LUFS, True Peak -1.5 dBTP if the peaks are jumpy. Export 24-bit WAV, then encode the YouTube file from that WAV.
Run it in Suno Audio Lab and listen at the volume you actually sleep to, not studio loud.
FAQ
Should rain and piano be as loud as each other?
No. Rain beds can sit lower. If both are maxed, the mix becomes noise.
