I am currently shopping for VSTs and effect plugins free or not and I am seeing things like "Humanize track" "AI Mixing and Mastering assistant" etc., it is going to be in everything.
Yes, the money is to make a person sound great, without the work, then AI.
For me, while I will use the tools, I have to find where I will cut it off. Kind of like the Amish, as some point you live inside a self imposed tech time frame. I have mine in my little pea brain, I push the tech, push the sound, push the music. But it is still my own self imposed boundaries.
For me, I do it for my own reasons, therefore I do it to my own set of rules. If I were a painter, I would be reluctant to go digital, (I wouldn't care, just an example), if I ran an old hot rod, points, etc.
Just ask yourself, where do I want to go and more importantly, how do I want to get there? I think for 99.9% of us, that is the real question. I will not be famous, not do I want to be at this point in time of my life.
