Show Notes
AI is changing music production faster than almost any technology we’ve seen before, but is it making records better? In Episode 2 of KNOBS, Simon Moro and Terry Hart dive into AI music tools, voice cloning, stem separation, Suno, machine learning plugins, and the growing tension between convenience and creativity. From real-world examples where AI saved expensive recording projects to the risks of artists becoming attached to AI demos, this episode explores what happens when machines start joining the creative process. This isn’t another “AI will replace musicians” discussion. It’s a practical conversation about what these tools actually do in real studios and whether the human side of music production still matters. Topics include AI vocals, mixing tools, songwriting workflows, studio recording, stem extraction, Suno, machine learning plugins and the future of audio production.
