I had this really mind-bending experience recently, and honestly, I’d recommend it to all non-professional musicians.

About 20 years ago, I made a song by myself on a laptop using a software called Reason. I’m not even sure it still exists. I used its digital instruments and manually built the track sound by sound. I created a recognizable melody, though the song itself was pretty bad since I wasn’t, and still am not, a musician.

A few days ago, I uploaded that old song to Suno and asked it to improve it while keeping the original melody and influencing it with a specific style.

The result was honestly surreal to me. It felt incredibly real and genuinely awesome.

Now I’m wondering: who owns the copyright of that new song?

Obviously, I own the original melody and track. But what about the AI-improved version? Or going even broader, if I whistle a completely original melody and upload it to Suno asking it to turn it into a full song, then who would actually hold the copyright?

Why is it that whenever I post AI stuff in an AI subreddit, anti-AI people show up and immediately start fighting? They often begin by criticizing the actual AI work or art, but eventually they reveal that their real issue is AI itself. Very often, it ends with them insulting other people.

Isn’t that kind of crazy? I wouldn’t go into a candy shop just to rant about sugar, or go to a football match just to attack football fans. What is wrong with these people? Are they kids? Just deeply frustrated?
It honestly feels like some of them exist only to aggressively attack others, threaten people, and force their worldview into places that are specifically meant for AI creators and enthusiasts. They act like ideological terrorists.

Images were made with Nano Banana.
The video was created with Seedance 2.0 in HD, then upscaled to 4K with Topaz Labs.
Music was made with Suno. The lip sync was done partly with Seedance and partly with ElevenLabs.
The story and lyrics were written by me.

The total cost was around $1000, with about 90% of it going toward Seedance.

The most time-consuming part of the process was writing the story, dialogue, and detailed screenplay directions for the actions, camera angles, and emotions that were later used to generate the videos.

I think AI filmmaking is essentially screenplay and story writing. The rest is more about execution. Of course, because of the nature of generative AI, unexpected things happen all the time, which often leads to small changes that can actually improve the story.

I’m a beginner with Suno. I used ElevenLabs before, so there are still some things I don’t know.

I generated a song with multiple instruments, a good rhythm, and a perfect piano melody. I only wanted to keep the piano melody, not something similar, but that exact melody. So I separated the stems with Suno and downloaded them.

However, when I checked the piano track, the quality was very low, almost like parts of the sound waves were missing in some sections.

I heard there’s a way to improve the quality of audio in Suno. Which feature should I use to improve the quality of a separated stem track?

EDIT: I was curious about the approach others use, not interested in platform recommendations.

When you use Seedance, do you add characters as separate reference images, or do you edit them into the main image first?

I’ve noticed characters feel much more lifelike when they’re added separately. If I bake them into the main image beforehand (like with Nano Bana), they still look realistic, just not as alive.

Finally, my account got unsuspended. I received an email saying they made a mistake and restored my account.

It took almost 30 days and multiple appeals. I did three things:
1: I removed old, unused accounts from my phone.
2: My secondary active account was using an email alias linked to the suspended account, so I changed it to a completely new email.
3: I logged out of both my secondary and suspended accounts, then logged back in with the suspended one.

About 4 hours later, I received this email:
“Hello, we have reviewed your appeal request for your account. Our automated systems have determined there was no violation and have restored your account to full functionality. Thanks, X Support.”

Since then, it's been working fully.
