6 AI-powered intelligent plugins that could change the way you make music

Core music-making skills don't have a shelf life – if you could write, record and produce a great track in the past, those abilities are just as valid now as they ever were. Those skills might still need a little updating though. Music technology – both in terms of how we make it, and how we listen – is changing all the time, and it's always worth keeping up with the latest developments. When we talk about'intelligent' or'smart' plugins, we're generally using these as catch-all terms for a variety of technologies involving some combination of forensic audio analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning. These are all terms that crop up in plugin promotional materials with increasing regularity.
