Episode 25 - How I Actually Use AI in the Studio (Without Losing the Human Part)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m talking honestly about how I’m actually using AI in a real recording studio.
Not to write songs.
Not to replace musicians.
Not to chase trends.
But to handle the small, time-eating tasks that slow sessions down and pull me out of the room.
From turning handwritten charts into readable charts, to changing keys on the fly, organizing lyrics, documenting sessions, handling admin, and protecting creative energy — this is a real-world look at using AI as an assistant, not an artist.
I also talk about what I don’t use AI for, including music-generation tools. They’re impressive, but they’re not my lane.
This episode isn’t about the future of music — it’s about staying human, present, and focused while working day to day with artists, bands, and decades of recorded music.
If you’re a producer, engineer, musician, or creator who’s curious about AI but doesn’t want to lose the soul of the work, this one’s for you.
