I Tested 100+ AI Music Tools in My Studio — These Are the Only 3 Worth It

On today’s episode, I’m breaking down the AI tools that have completely changed my music production workflow. There’s a lot of fear around AI replacing musicians, but I believe there’s a huge difference between assistive AI and generative AI—and knowing how to use each one can make you a faster, better, and more creative producer without sacrificing your originality.

In this video, I walk you through the AI plugins and tools I actually use inside my DAW, including Output Co-Producer, Waves Curves AQ, iZotope Neutron, Ozone, and Suno. You’ll see how I use AI for songwriting inspiration, production, EQ, mixing, mastering, stem separation, MIDI generation, and creative ideation while still maintaining control over the final product.

We also discuss the difference between assistive AI and fully generative AI, how to use AI without giving up your creativity, and why understanding ownership, copyright, and platform terms is still one of the most important parts of working with AI today.

Whether you’re just getting started with AI music or you’re looking to speed up your workflow, these are the tools I recommend checking out first.
