What's New

Suno v6 is out — and from today every song in the AI Song Generator, the AI Music Generator and Song in Your Own Voice is made on it.

What changed. v6 is Suno's new flagship: according to its makers it follows the style more precisely, blends vocals and instruments more cleanly and holds quality across the whole track. It was trained on licensed catalogues from Warner Music, BMG and Believe — real recordings, not whatever could be scraped.

There is a choice now. Next to the standard v6 the model list offers v6 Wild: less predictable, with bolder, more textured results. A gamble by design — sometimes better than you asked for, sometimes nothing like it. Same charge.

Old tracks stay as they are: the caption under each still names the version that made it. The voice from “Song in Your Own Voice” sings on v6 too, no need to record it again.

If you still have tokens, this is the moment to compare with your earlier generations.

We built a tool against room boom in voice recordings.

Who it is for: audiobooks, podcasts, voice-over, lessons — anything recorded at home, in a closet or in a tight booth.

What it solves:

— «The voice sounds like a barrel». The tool finds the resonances in the pauses between phrases and shortens the ring instead of cutting a whole band out.
— «Noise reduction left an echo». That is exactly what happens: steady noise was masking the room, and a gate chops the ring off a fraction of a second after each word. Here the ring goes away without those cut-offs.
— «I remove the boom and lose the voice». An EQ cut at 200 Hz takes the pitch of the voice with it — for a woman reading aloud it sits right there. The tool removes only the excess and never takes the low end below the norm for a voice of that pitch.

There is a reference mode: load a chapter of yours that sounds right, and the low end of a boomy recording is matched to it. The narrator whose letter started all this had a chapter she had rejected because of the boom. After matching it to her own good chapter, the two differ by less than one and a half decibels.

We have opened a room where Premium members talk to each other. It looks roughly like this:

— Has anyone made vertical covers in the editor? I cannot keep the text centred.
— Use the guides. Let me send you a screenshot.
— I actually build mine in a different tool, it comes out faster. Want me to show you?

This is not support and not a feedback form. It is a conversation between people who use the same tools you do: they share tricks, show what came out, argue about ideas.

A good thought from the conversation can become an idea — others back it with votes and it gets a status. That is how you see what actually made it from words into work.

Who it is for: Premium members with a confirmed email.
Where: “Profile → Community” or on this page.

It will be quiet there at first, and that is fine. Communities grow over years, and right now we are laying the foundation.

Tell us what you are into. We genuinely want to know.

Maybe you are learning Korean. Or you sat down to chess and the computer still beats you. You knit, you embroider, you keep a garden, you are getting ready for the long winter evenings. Or someone you know is deep in a hobby and you would like to try it too — you just cannot see where to start.

We can build a tool for that. Or a course. Or a test that checks what you have learned. Or invent, together with you, something that exists nowhere yet.

If you have children and want their time to go into something worthwhile, we will make a place where they can try things and build things. Learn a 3D printer. Come back to a dream there were never hours for.

Our goal is 4500 tools. The plan for the coming months is already written, but it is nearly all about work — and we would like part of it to be about the soul.

Write to us here. And if a tool already exists but is not made the way you need, or something is missing from it, write to the same place: we keep improving them.

Let us say it up front, so you do not have to keep it in mind: we have no subscription. Premium is bought for a term — three months, six months or a year. When the term ends, the account simply becomes an ordinary one: everything you made stays where it is, only the raised limits switch off. There is nowhere to go and nothing to cancel.

Money leaves only by your decision: we never charge anything ourselves — we do not hold your card details. The payment is taken by Polar, with whom we have a signed agreement: they see the number, and all that reaches us is a message that the payment went through. We know how uneasy it feels to type a card into a website, and we tried to leave fewer reasons to worry.

If you decide to renew, it is 20% cheaper, and the discount is counted from the price in force at that moment. Prices do rise sometimes: what everything runs on gets dearer too, and what we earn goes back into the work.

That is how it is with us today. Nobody has asked us for automatic renewal yet — ask, and we will think about it. Whatever changes later, it will not touch a term already paid for.

Forgive us for raising this. The day comes anyway — better today, over a cup of tea.

Almost everything lives in the phone: photos of the grandchildren, letters, bills, subscriptions quietly taking money. If someone dies and nobody knows the passwords, the family stands at a closed door. Money in a bank turns up eventually. Photos do not.

We made Digital Will — go through it in an evening. It reminds you what to write down: where money and papers are, who takes the cat, which photos matter. It starts easy: Google and Apple let you name a person in advance, and they hand everything over. Two minutes, and half is done. Few know this: Telegram deletes an account on its own if you stop signing in, with all the messages. You cannot switch it off, but you can set a longer term.

Passwords are written separately and locked. The key is split into slips you give your family: one alone is useless, together they open it. Other sites ask you to hand your passwords to them. We do not. You can check right here that it opens. And if our site is gone one day, they open it without us — we wrote inside how.

Please do it while things are calm. If anything reads unclearly, say so in the comments.

Almost every burnout test hands back one number. That number is useless: someone worn out by life and someone worn out by their job get the same score, and what they should do is opposite.

The burnout test scores three scales apart: exhaustion in general, from work, and from dealing with people. It names which one leads, and the advice starts there — with work-related exhaustion a holiday treats the symptom, not the cause; with personal exhaustion a new employer usually changes nothing.

Plus two questions the questionnaire itself never asks: how long this has lasted, and whether rest still restores you. Without them a high score cannot tell burnout from a brutal week — and ICD-11 defines burnout exactly that way: chronic, and not successfully managed. Those answers move no score; they change the conclusion.

Built on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, an open instrument with published norms. It is not a diagnosis.

Every EQ test online works the same way: it asks how well you read people and hands your own answer back. That measures self-image, not skill.

Our EQ test is built differently. It has items with correct answers — real voices and faces from 91 actors. The difficulty of each clip was not assigned by us but measured: 2 443 people made 219 688 judgements on them, and your percentile is your rank among them.

The headline is not the score. It is the distance between how skilled you think you are and how you actually decide. If that gap is smaller than the margin of error, we say so: no finding.

Why now: half of our talking has moved to calls and text, where the face is gone and the voice is compressed. The test scores voice and face apart and shows which channel is your weaker one.

The explained breakdown of your mistakes runs on tokens. The test and the result stay open.

Folks keep saying these neural nets will knock the creativity clean out of a person. Not a bit of it. A man who has held a fiddle does not put it down — and nobody was ever sorry for a helping hand.

Here is how it goes. A genie out of a bottle does not live your life for you; he does what he is asked. Ask any old how and you get any old what. But say it plain — my gran is turning eighty, she has baked pies her whole life, she calls the cat Barsik — and out comes a poem about her, not about some gran in general.

So we have gone and made a poem generator.

Quatrains if you like, or a sonnet, or an acrostic with the first letters spelling out a name. Pick the metre and the rhyme scheme, or leave them be. Third line not to your taste — that one line gets written again and the rest stays put.

Who do folks write poems for? Not for themselves, that is certain. A friend’s birthday, the old folk’s anniversary, your wife on the fourteenth of February, the teacher in the class chat so she knows she is remembered. Sometimes it comes from the heart, sometimes from plain laziness. Both are honest enough in their way.

For Russian we go one step further and check the result against a stress dictionary: syllables counted line by line, stressed positions found, rhyming pairs compared. In the other languages the poem is written to the form you asked for.

It does not come free: poems run on tokens, and tokens are sold here too.

And if you look at it and say «dull as ditchwater» — say straight out what is missing. We will fix it. We are not proud.

The certificate maker is open: certificates of achievement, diplomas, certificates, thank-you letters, attestations and gift certificates.

Editor. Click a line to select it, drag it with snapping, double-click to edit it in place. Undo and redo.

Recipient list. Paste a column of names or load a CSV: as many rows, as many sheets. Russian names are declined row by row into the case the sentence needs. Numbering, ALL-CAPS normalisation, an award register as CSV.

Printing. Eleven vector frames, bleed, crop marks, a 50 mm control ruler and a printer correction. «Print the text only» is for forms already bought from a print shop. «Blank form» gives the design with no text, to fill in by hand.

Output. A PDF in which the text stays text. PNG. ZIP for a batch. A4, A5 and Letter — portrait and landscape; plus A3 and square.

We built a teleprompter, and we are looking for someone to help us get it right on set.

Why. An ordinary prompter moves text at a constant number of pixels per second. But a dense paragraph fits three times more words into the same height than a short line, so the pace swings. Measured: with the dial at 150 words per minute, lines went past at 36 to 288. Speed is now counted from the words on each line, so the pace you set holds everywhere.

What is inside. Voice tracking across the whole script: improvise, go quiet, or start a paragraph again — it waits and picks you up. Mirror and vertical flip for beam-splitter rigs. Recording on camera, with the script over the image so your eyes stay at the lens. Second screen by link or QR. Sections, speaker labels and pause beats written in the text itself.

Who it is for. Videographers, podcasters, streamers, teachers, audiobook narrators — anyone who reads on camera.

The ask. If you have worked with a studio prompter — on a stand, behind beam-splitter glass — write to us. We need someone to say what is wrong here: which speeds are realistic, where the reading line belongs, what is missing on a shoot. support@timbrica.com, or the "Suggest an idea" button on the tool page.

Yesterday someone sent us a photo of a nose.

No caption. No complaint. Just a nose. We looked at it for about five minutes and realised something needed saying.

We do not improve your videos. We do not fix your phone screens. We do not slow your audio down. We do not revive your flash drives. You do all of that yourself, on your own machine, with our tools. We only build them.

So please do not send us your drawings. Your cats and dogs. Your films. Your voice messages. Songs an AI sang for you, or music you wrote yourself. It all lands in our inbox, where actual humans sit and look at your cats in silence. Send it to your friends instead — they will be happier about it than we are.

There is one exception, and it matters: when a tool breaks, we often cannot tell why without your file. That is when to write — moc.acirbmet@troppus — and add a line about what went wrong. Those messages we wait for and read.

Everything else is by design. We do not keep uploaded files. Most tools run right inside your browser, so the file never reaches us at all. Where a server is unavoidable, the tool says so itself: the file stays with us while it is being processed, then it is deleted. We do not open it.

We only see what you send us yourselves. A nose, for example.

That is deliberate, so you can work on whatever you like without wondering who is watching. Nobody is watching. Honestly, we prefer it that way.

P.S. The nose is still here. We still do not know what to do with it.

Quick test: what shape is the flag of Nepal?

It is not a rectangle. Two pennants stacked one above the other, and it is taller than it is wide — the only national flag in the world like that. Switzerland and the Vatican are square. Qatar is stretched to 28:11. Togo’s proportion is the golden ratio, and it stands alone in that.

Why did you not know this? Because icon sets force every flag into the same frame. That is where the feeling that flags all look alike comes from: they were made that way to keep layouts easy.

We do not do that. The catalogue holds 279 flags in 30 different proportions, and every one of them is taken from the flag’s own file rather than from a table. Nepal here is a pennon whose cut-away corners have no mass and catch no wind.

The wind is real too, by the way. But start with the shape.

People hang the table on a wall and treat it as a reference sheet. It is really a predictive machine: an element’s place tells you what to expect from it. Mendeleev left empty cells and described the properties of elements nobody had found — the first of them turned up four years later and matched his notes.

We rebuilt the table so that this is visible. Hover over a cell and the electron shells and the atom diagram appear. Switch the colouring to electronegativity and periodicity becomes a picture: fluorine is the darkest, and it is clear why.

One thing in particular is taught wrongly. The rule “the higher oxide follows the group number” gives F₂O₇ for fluorine, OO₃ for oxygen and Cu₂O for copper — three mistakes in a row. Here the formula is derived from the oxidation state, so fluorine has none at all. That is a good reason to discuss in class why a rule does not hold everywhere.

Beside it: the solubility chart with row and column highlighting, the activity series, and molar mass including hydrates. It prints on A4.

We walk two roads at once: building what is new and strengthening what is built.

Last week belonged to sound. The week before it belonged to files that refuse to open. We took up repair not out of love for repair: we discovered, almost by accident, that people bring damaged files into our ordinary tools — and not one person, not two. So we built dedicated repair tools, and along the way taught the audio tools to cope on their own: a broken header or a cut-off recording they now step over quietly and carry on. When that fails they say so plainly, and move the file to audio repair with one button.

This week is the week of teachers and educators. Something is already on the shelf: tools for educators. Tell us what is missing there — the new term will arrive sooner than it looks. We charge nothing to build what you ask for; just write: moc.acirbmet@troppus

To those we made promises to: we remember. What was promised is in testing.

We do not build one tool per profession — we build dozens. That is how English turned out: assembled both for those who teach and for those who learn.

And so you do not leave empty-handed: word of the day — a new English word every day.
