How AI Will Impact The Music Industry?

Hey Siri, shuffle-play how AI impacts music production. Regardless of what we do, we are always looking for ways to improve production. From the words to the rhythm, people are turning to AI to produce songs. Apps such as Spotify use AI to curate playlists tailored to their listeners. The use of AI in the music industry has the potential to revolutionize it, particularly in songwriting and production.

Artificial intelligence can help songwriters create new melodies, lyrics, and chord progressions that would be difficult to come up with on their own. The production process can also be improved by using AI for mixing and mastering. Using existing songs as a starting point, the algorithm can identify patterns and structures in order to create new music.The AI can analyze the chord progressions of a specific genre of music and suggest new chord progressions that are appropriate for it.

When AI is integrated into the production process, it can identify and correct issues in the mix. With plug-ins like Ozone 10, artists can create “the sound of chart-topping hits, or their favorite reference files using groundbreaking tone, dynamics, and width matching technology”. Artists can use it to modulate their needs, and receive help when they need it. It can offer suggestions and fix any issues, while understanding genre, tone, and dynamics. 

Many artists have found AI to be a useful tool. Arca, a musician and producer, who has produced tracks for Rosalía, Björk, FKA Twigs and many others has dabbled in the use of AI. With the help of Bronze, she created a song entirely made with AI. Previously, it played in the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Arca asserts in an interview that "AI will never play the same song twice". This tool's ability to continuously produce new tunes illustrates its usefulness. With Bronze, musicians can create a piece that never ends. Listeners can hear different songs from the same artist as it changes and evolves during each listen. Basically, it's a loop that the artist can use without having to make multiple songs.

Music production and songwriting could be revolutionized by artificial intelligence. The use of artificial intelligence allows songwriters to generate new ideas and sounds that they would not have been able to create without it. Music production can also be made more efficient with AI, including mixing and mastering. The future of the music industry will be exciting as AI technology continues to evolve.
