AI is one of the biggest discoveries of the 21st century. In recent years AI has taken the place of our assistant.
Now most of the works are done with the help of AI. Even AI entered the music production industry. Now many music production workflows can be done with the help of AI.
In the last 2 years, several AI-powered music production tools have been launched that actually help in your music production needs.
In this blog post, I will introduce you to some of the best AI tools for music production.
Do, you want to join me in this?
Okay, let’s begin.
First off,
How AI is Changing the Music Production Industry
As I have told you above, AI or Artificial Intelligence is changing the whole world and music production is not untouched.
One day, I just typed in ChatGPT to write a song for me and amazingly it was a good quality song.
So, we can’t neglect the role of AI in the music production industry. In upcoming years AI will help us in music production like an assistant producer.
And, I am sure of this.
Even DAWs like Logic Pro are adopting AI to make the music production workflow easier than ever.
Ai Vs Traditional Music Production
Well, I know AI does not have the feel of a human brain and can’t produce music like us, though it can help in some of the work such as beat making, writing a song etc.
Traditional music is not going away. It was there thousands of years ago and will be there in the future.
That’s my thinking.
But, AI can help you out in your music production journey and let you produce with more sophisticated workflows.
So, we can’t ignore the role of AI in music production today.
