We’re not quite there yet, but LEVELS from Mastering the Mix is designed as a simple graphical representation of any signal being fed into it with one important difference – it intervenes when it ‘thinks’ you’re going too far. In fact, it’s already started to appear inside certain plugins but how long until AI does the work for us, using reference material to craft a sonic picture and apply that picture to our mix without us lifting a finger? Whether we like it or not, it won’t be long before AI makes its way into our studios.
