The recording studio has always been a place where technology and artistry negotiate, and the conversation happening right now is the most exciting in a generation. AI tools are genuinely changing what is possible inside the production process: accelerating the tedious, unlocking the experimental, and opening creative territory that simply did not exist five years ago.

This panel brings together producers, artists, and the technologists building the next generation of studio tools for an honest, practice-first conversation about what is actually happening in real sessions with real music. How are working producers integrating AI into their daily workflows and what has surprised them most? How are the communities around these platforms responding to new AI features, and what is that feedback building toward? What does the next generation of creators expect from their tools, and what are developers already building to meet them?

Beyond the product roadmaps and the vendor promises, this is a conversation about sound, instinct, and the irreducibly human decisions that sit at the center of every great record, and how AI, at its best, gives the people making those decisions more room to make them well.
