LANDR, Sonible and iZotope: AI audio plugin walkthrough

Leroy demonstrates his preferred AI music production plugins through composition, vocal repair, mixing and mastering examples. His recommendations reflect his own workflow; the walkthrough does not establish offline operation or hardware requirements.

LANDR Composer generates chord progressions, bass lines and melodies that he drags into MIDI tracks. He also shows scenes for arranging song sections. Accentize dxRevive Pro handles background noise in a spoken recording, with deletion and restoration options. The author identifies the plugin as dxRevive Pro; the captions add an uncertain version number. With Synchro Arts VocAlign Pro, he captures a main vocal and aligns another backing vocal to it.

For mixing, Waves Curves Equator learns from the audio to address unwanted frequencies. Sonible smart:comp 2 analyzes drums and demonstrates compression settings and groups. This is the older second edition, not the smart:comp 3 edition currently featured in the catalog. In smart:EQ 4, Leroy selects source profiles, adjusts the suggested EQ and uses groups to place parts toward the front, middle or back of the mix.

The Neutron 5 example uses a reference piano recording to guide the sound of his own piano. LANDR Mastering analyzes a mix before he adjusts bass, treble and level. Ozone 12 provides another mastering example with analysis and music style controls. Leroy closes by stressing that users still need to understand equalizers and compressors.
