Machine learning and neural networks allow us to create new possibilities for production workflows and in signal processing by identifying unique characteristics and helping users manage complex relationships between audio signals.
Developing ‘smart’ processing tools is giving us new capabilities, it is important that the tools are useful rather than solutions looking for the problem. This involves intelligent UI design and an understanding of traditional production challenges.
We’ll look at a few examples of how AI manifests in state of the art tools and products that are created for audio restoration, mixing and mastering and we’ll speculate about what might be possible in the future.
