A conversation popped up on another platform about the role of AI in music production, generally as its used in the mastering process. Now I’m not sure how much AI that actually involves and see it more as a set of rules that will map your song or music to a contemporary ‘good mix’… basically control the EQ, RMS peak and LUFS. Things like this are becoming more and more prominent on music histinf sites.
I do use AI in some processing as I use software like Steinberg’s SpectraLayers to ‘un-layer’ and un-mix tonal qualities, and so on but I don’t use it in mastering. I do that the old fashioned way.
Your thoughts…? Yay or nay…?
I don’t work in a typical or mainstream genre either. My own mixing methods are unorthodox and I generally master ‘un-loud’ so things like Ozone wouldn’t help me anyway. Guides to me are still reference tracks but yes, I see them as helping a great deal in some production for some people.
