We explored the impact of AI in the studio, with assisted mixing tools from iZotope, right up to full-on machine learning DAWs that can transfer the style of one producer to another project, among many other things. We'll look at how AI has infiltrated the DJ booth, as well as how hyper-personalised generative music apps could lead to an even-more-siloed listening experience across streaming platforms. It's fair to say contemporary pop music follows a certain formula . Those sometimes predictable patterns make it easier for AI to spot trends and more accurately recreate music. For dance music, those patterns are even clearer, generally following a four-, eight- and sixteen-bar arrangement mould, thanks in part to the modern DAW.
