The integration of artificial intelligence into music production has significantly expanded both the creative and technical possibilities available to producers. Emerging AI-powered plugins and software are now being used for tasks such as stem separation, beat creation, mixing and mastering, sound design, and creative assistance. By automating complex and time-consuming processes, AI has streamlined workflows and reduced production time. Experimentation sometimes follows. For instance, producers are using AI to generate unique compositions, manipulate vocals with voice changers, and explore non-linear sampling techniques that push the boundaries of traditional music-making.
