AI Music Production Tools That Are Changing How Music Gets Made

These days, it feels like AI is everywhere, so much so that it’s becoming harder to tell what’s real and what’s AI-generated. That shift is now making its way into the recording industry recently when an AI-generated song broke into the Top 50 charts in Germany. The track, created using the AI music generator Udio, came to life when artist Butterbro fed the software his own lyrics, resulting in a fully produced song. With new AI tools and capabilities launching seemingly every other day, it begs the question: Is AI music production enhancing creativity or automating it away? 

Amplifying Creativity Through Collaboration 

The argument for AI music production platforms such as Udio is that they are helping musicians break past creative blocks and speed up the production process by generating melodies, lyrics, harmonies and entire arrangements instantly from a text prompt. This allows producers to put together ideas quickly or explore other sounds or musical directions they may not have previously thought of. By the end of 2024, 60% of musicians and 36.8% of producers were using AI tools for composing, mastering, and production. 

The AI tools have also been used by artists and producers to speed up the tedious production process and expand current capabilities. Recently, Canadian artist Caribou used AI-generated elements while working on his latest album “Honey”. He used AI not to automate the creative process but rather to pull inspiration from it like different sounds, patterns, and progressions. 

Top AI Tools for Music Production in 2025  

• Udio – Text-to-music generator with advanced prompts 

• LALAL.AI – AI vocal remover and stem splitter 

• Landr – AI mastering engine 

• Amper Music – Royalty-free music creation platform 

Why AI Alone Isn’t Enough to Make Great Music 

We know that AI is literally everywhere, and it was just a matter of time until it made its way into the music industry. Despite the hype, AI-generated music obviously isn’t without controversy. While tools like Udio can speed up the process of actually creating the music, many argue that AI-generated music lacks the depth and emotion that artists put into their songs that listeners connect with.  

There are also growing concerns around the ethics of AI music production, particularly regarding how these models are trained. A lot of these systems have been trained on copyrighted work without the artist's consent, which has resulted in lawsuits and backlash. Recently, Universal Music Group has filed lawsuits against Udio and other AI music companies for copyright infringement sounding the alarms on unauthorized use of original recordings.

At the end of the day, AI music production is changing the way music gets made, from rapid-fire demos to smart mixing suggestions. As some of the people behind the glass we know that technology alone can’t replace human creativity, emotion, and instinct. Tools like Udio are exciting additions to the creative process, but they’re just tools. The magic still happens when real artists, engineers, and producers bring their vision to life.

AI Music Production FAQs 

What is AI music production? 

AI music production is the use of artificial intelligence tools to assist in creating music. These tools can generate melodies, lyrics, or even full tracks. 

Are AI-generated songs legal to release? 

This is still a gray area. Some AI music tools add a hidden “watermark” to the music they create so it can be tracked or identified later. Others may require you to buy a license if you want to use the music commercially. There's also concern that some AI models were trained using copyrighted songs without permission, which could lead to legal issues if that influence shows up in the music they generate. 

Can AI tools like Udio replace human producers? 

Not entirely. While AI can speed up the production process, it often lacks the emotional depth and storytelling that real people bring to the music process.
