Episode 58: How AI Is Changing Music Mixing

Ever wondered how artificial intelligence might transform music production without replacing human creativity? In this eye-opening conversation with David Ronan, CEO of Roex Audio, we explore the fascinating world of AI-powered mixing and mastering tools that are changing how music creators work.David pulls back the curtain on Roex's innovative products: Mix Check Studio, which analyzes tracks and identifies mixing issues for free, and Automix, which can professionally mix up to 32 tracks in minutes rather than hours. What's particularly impressive is how these tools handle the mechanical, often tedious aspects of mixing while leaving the creative decisions to humans. "It doesn't do anything creative," David explains, "it does the corrective mixing... getting the levels correct enough that you're in the ballpark and can tweak it." The result? More time for music creators to focus on the artistic elements that make their sound unique.With a background that includes work at Native Instruments, leading research at AI Music (later acquired by Apple), and a PhD in music technology, David brings exceptional expertise to the table. He shares the remarkable journey of how Roex evolved from an academic project that could only mix four mono tracks over an entire day to a sophisticated system that can handle complex arrangements in minutes. Along the way, he dispels myths about AI replacing human engineers, emphasizing that these tools are assistive rather than replacements, democratizing professional-quality sound while enhancing the productivity of experienced professionals.Looking ahead, David reveals exciting plans for DAW integration and applications beyond music production into film, television, and game audio. Whether you're a bedroom producer struggling with technical aspects of mixing or a professional engineer looking to streamline workflow, this episode offers valuable insights into how AI can help you achieve better results while preserving your creative vision. Give it a listen and discover how embracing these new technologies might transform your music production process.https://www.roexaudio.com/Reach out to me !
