HOW I USE AI TO PRODUCE MY CONCEPTS OF MUSIC

Описание: HOW I USE AI TO PRODUCE MY MUSIC CONCEPTS 🎶🤖

Afro-House | BandLab | AI-Assisted Workflow

In this video, I break down how I use AI as a creative co-producer — not to make music for me, but to help me understand, refine, and elevate the ideas I already have.

This track, “February” (working title), started as a flat, dreamy demo. Through intentional prompting, documentation, and a lot of trial and error, I used AI to help guide mixing decisions, FX choices, and space management — all while staying fully inside BandLab’s stock tools and limitations.

This is not about shortcuts.
It’s about learning why things work.

🎧 Project Overview

Genre: Afro-House / Afro-Tech (with old-school Kwaito influences)

Tempo & Key: 120 BPM, A-minor

Vibe: Dark, spiritual, gritty, lonely, reflective

Inspired by: Dlala Thukzin, Heavy K, Mi Casa, Funky Qla

🧠 The “AI Co-Producer” Workflow

I use AI to:

Diagnose why a mix feels boxy, flat, or crowded

Suggest BandLab-friendly FX chains

Create frequency pockets instead of just turning things down

Think in hierarchies (kick, vocal, percussion, texture)

Learn why certain settings I assumed were correct… actually weren’t

Everything starts with my ideas first — drums, chords, vocals, structure.
AI only comes after the foundation is already there.

🔊 What I Cover in This Video

The difference between a “hot mix” and hitting the digital ceiling

How I shaped Heavy K-style drums using EQ and compression

Turning a washed-out vocal into an intimate radio / telephone tone

Using duplicated vocals as atmosphere instead of clutter

Making space for vocals without killing the piano vibe

All of this is done using BandLab stock effects only.

⚖️ The Real Pros & Cons of Using AI in Music

Pros:

Accelerates learning

Forces you to think intentionally

Helps you understand why something works

Great for producers who are still developing their ears

Cons:

Preparing prompts and documents takes time

It can be mentally exhausting

You still have to experiment — a lot

It doesn’t replace intuition, it builds it

I’m slowly reaching the point where I can try most things on my own — and honestly, this video is just the surface of what’s possible.

🚫 Important Clarification

I do not use AI to generate full songs.
I don’t ask it to “make a hit.”
I don’t outsource creativity.

I create first.
Then I use AI to enhance, refine, and learn.

❤️ A Personal Note

I’m trying to grow this channel so I can eventually:

Sustain my creative life

Pay for tools and subscriptions

Upgrade my studio setup

Stop depending on my parents

Take full responsibility for my dreams

My goal is to reach 500 subscribers by my birthday 🎂
