Music Production Tools in 2022
A curated list of AI-powered and modern tools for music producers in 2022. From chord detection to mastering, visualizers to cover art generation - everything you need for your music workflow.
Lately, I’ve been using AI to speed up music production. Not to compose music (yet 😅), but for all the little annoying stuff that normally eats hours.
Here’s my modern workflow for remixing a song:
1️⃣ Get Your Software
Grab your DAW or VSTs — I usually check Professional Audio Software Blog. Pro tip: support devs when you can!
2️⃣ Find the Chords
- Chordify → instant chord progressions. Saves tons of ear training time.
3️⃣ Extract Vocals
- Acapella-extractor.com → free
- LALAL.AI → premium, AI-powered stem separation
Separate vocals, drums, bass, etc. Perfect for remixing!
4️⃣ Master Your Track
No more guessing EQ and compression — AI analyzes and masters your track.
5️⃣ Visuals & Cover Art
- Butterchurn Visualizer → mesmerizing audio-reactive visuals
- Kaleidosync → Spotify-connected
- WOMBO Dream → AI-generated cover art (type a prompt, get instant art!)
Social media loves visuals — these tools make it effortless.
⚡ My Actual Workflow
- Browse Spotify for inspiration
- Extract vocals with LALAL.AI
- Analyze chords with Chordify
- Produce remix in DAW
- Quick master with Bakuage
- Make a visual with Butterchurn
- Generate cover art with WOMBO
- Upload to SoundCloud/Spotify
Boom — hours of work condensed into a day.
🔮 Why It Matters
AI tools remove boring technical barriers, letting bedroom producers compete with pros. You learn faster, iterate faster, and focus on the fun stuff — creativity.
The challenge now? Standing out. The ocean of content is massive.
