Remastering Old Demos with AI: Surprises and Shortcomings

The author used Suno AI to reimagine their old demo songs, with surprisingly good results. The AI effectively captured song structure, lyrics, and instrumental parts, adapting them to chosen genres. While not a perfect recreation, the AI-generated versions retained the original mood and even improved on certain aspects, like the ending of "Hold on to the boy." However, the AI struggled with polyphonic melodies, resulting in muddy mixes, and the generated songs still require human refinement before release. Overall, Suno AI offers exciting possibilities for music creation but necessitates post-processing.
