The requirement to either pay a lot for or learn how to do mastering always seemed unnecessary to me.

Stuff like mixing, equalizing, sidechaining and eternal sample hunts all take a lot of time as well... It's why making music is one of the hobbies I had to let go.

Can't wait to get my hands on an AI powered DAW that skips all the tedious stuff!

Am I still the one making the music? Well, I'd argue the 300+ hours I'll probably sink into finetuning all the other stuff will say yes.



While the mixing process is certainly a frustrating one, it’s also the part I’m most addicted to. I mix something almost every day, whether it’s my own work or other multitracks “acquired” from the internet. It’s so much fun working backwards on a song I’m familiar with and going “ok, how the hell did they make the kick sound like that?!” and figuring it out :)


Where can one find multitracks on the internet?


Cambridge Music Technology has a great list of multi tracks for learning the art of mixing. The submissions cover many genres.

Tbh as much as I'm against stuff like this, I think a mixing and mastering AI could be useful since it is the less creative part of the process. I highly object to AI composing music though.
