Artificial intelligence is on the lips of professionals in almost every creative industry.
It is approached with as much fear as enthusiasm.
The music industry is no exception.
Artificial intelligence has been making its way into audio plug-in architecture for some time, but last year seems to have marked a turning point with the widespread use of AI plug-ins.
From melody writing to mixing tools, we’ve rounded up a wide range of tools for you to check out.
10 AI plugins producers must try
Mawf is an interesting little tool that uses neural networks – an artificial intelligence method – to reinterpret the tone of an incoming signal and reimagine it as a different instrument.
For example, you can input a synth melody into Mawf and, with a few clicks, transform that synth melody into a natural-sounding trumpet melody.
What’s really great is that Mawf’s algorithms can reinterpret any sound you give it – it doesn’t have to be a traditional instrument.
This means you can try your hand at turning rain sounds, sound effects or even your dog’s bark into an instrument of your choice.
Orb Producer Suite 3 is a set of AI-infused plugins designed to facilitate the writing of chord progressions and melodies.
The four plugins in Orb Producer Suite 3 (Orb Chords, Orb Melody, Orb Bass and Orb Arpeggio) all use artificial intelligence to generate MIDI. Orb Chords is a wavetable synth that lets you generate an unlimited number of original chord progressions.
Once a progression has been generated, you have the freedom to modify it as much as you like. Orb Melody is designed for melody creation.
As with Orb Chords, you can modify the generated melody as you wish. Orb Bass lets you create a bass line perfectly suited to your song by analyzing the entire harmony of your project.
For an instant sense of well-being, look no further than Orb Arpeggio.
This AI-powered arpeggio generator can do it all for you, or you can dive into more complex control and design the arpeggio of your dreams.
iZotope has integrated AI technology into a number of its plug-ins.
Ozone and Vocal Assistant both incorporate this technology, as does iZotope’s mixing suite. Neutron 4. Neutron 4 is a suite of mixing tools.
One of these tools is Assistant View, which uses artificial intelligence to create an effects chain made up of the other effects provided in the Neutron 4 package. Assistant View listens to your track and analyzes it.
It automatically detects different types of instrument, such as guitar, vocals, bass and drums, then creates customized effect chains using its artificial intelligence technology. Neutron’s Assistant View can also dynamically match the tonality of your track to that of a reference track, again thanks to AI.
Clever, isn’t it?
Sistema by guk ai is a synthesizer with artificial intelligence that uses its built-in algorithms to design synthetic patches based on a few indications given by the user.
To get a patch from Sistema, all you have to do is tell it the category of sound you want to create (e.g. bell, pluck, lead, bass, etc.) and choose the desired character from a few options.
Sistema then takes this information and uses its AI to generate a totally unique synth patch.
If you’re not satisfied, you can generate a new patch using the same inputs – the AI will create a totally new patch every time, so you’ll always have fresh sounds.
Sonible has made a name for itself by integrating artificial intelligence into the design of its plug-ins. smart:comp 2 is the latest iteration.
What makes smart:comp 2 so special is the fact that it’s a fantastic compressor without any AI elements.
It has a unique yet intuitive interface and the ability to perform spectral compression.
Spectral compression is essentially multiband compression on steroids.
When spectral compression is activated, each part of the spectrum is compressed separately, resulting in a very smooth, tonally balanced signal.
The AI in smart:comp 2 analyzes the audio passing through it and compresses it according to a compression profile you select.
Compression profiles are trained on hundreds of recordings to achieve the smoothest, cleanest compression sound possible.
What’s in a name?
Well, when it comes to Baby Audio TAIPTheanswer is an acronym for artificial intelligence. TAIP is a tape saturation plugin that uses artificial intelligence to add analog warmth and harmonic richness to your audio.
Baby Audio has provided its algorithm with training data of dry and processed audio from various tape recorders, teaching the algorithm to identify the differences between dry and processed audio.
Once the AI knows the differences, it can apply them to the audio passing through TAIP.
TAIP also comes with presets created by some producers who have a very impressive customer base.
Mark Needman (Fleetwood Mac, Elton John), Max Jaeger (Ariana Grande, Drake) and Cesar Sogbe (Prince, Jennifer Lopez) have all provided presets for TAIP.
The Collective’s FAST Bundle (part of the same audio family as Focusrite, Novation and Ampify) is an AI mixing suite designed to give producers fast results so they can save time on mixing and spend more time creating. 
The FAST Bundle includes FAST Compressor, FAST Equaliser, FAST Reveal, FAST Verb and FAST Limiter.
Each of the plugins in the suite uses Sonible’s intelligent engine to adjust parameters according to the source material.
As with all Sonible products, FAST bundle offers many different instrument profiles, allowing FAST plugins to make mixing decisions based on the audio you’re working with.
Atlas 2 is a sample organizer and drum machine that uses artificial intelligence to match samples to each other, giving you a lightning-fast workflow and allowing you to concentrate on your creativity. 
Atlas 2 analyzes your sample collection and organizes it into a superb visual map.
Types of drum hits are grouped together and, within each of these groups, hits with similar characteristics are placed in close proximity to each other.
All these groupings are determined by Atlas 2’s AI algorithm, which analyzes and categorizes your sample collection.
Build kits inside Atlas 2 and speed up this process by adding one or two samples to the kit and automatically filling in the rest of the kit’s pads based on the one-shots you’ve already loaded.
You can then sequence a rhythm using Atlas 2’s built-in sequencer and use the sample-by-sample editor to fine-tune the kit as you wish.
Audiolab’s Emergent Drums is a unique AI plugin that can generate drum samples for use in your tracks. Emergent Drums uses no source recordings to create samples.
All drum sounds created with Emergent Drums are created entirely from scratch using the plugin’s artificial intelligence technology.
Of course, the great advantage of using AI-generated drum samples, as opposed to traditional drum samples from sample packs, is that nobody can have the same sample as you.
This is a truly novel use of artificial intelligence in music production, which can have enormous benefits for producers looking to create a unique sound.
Melody Sauce 2 uses Evabeat’s AI-powered PhraseBuilder engine to generate melodies and ideas that producers can use in their production.
Melody Sauce 2’s built-in artificial intelligence enables producers to write melodies that fit in with the rest of the elements of their tracks without any knowledge of music production.
It’s a kind of personal music production assistant.
Its artificial intelligence engine is trained to write melodies for you in a range of genres including Hip Hop, Trap, EDM, House & Techno, Pop, Reggaeton, and R&B.
Version 2 of Melody Sauce builds on everything that was great about Melody Sauce 1 with improved algorithms that enable it to write even better melodies and phrases.
