The perception of AI in music production often gets a bad rap—”no soul,” “lacks human touch,” and so on. But when it comes to mastering music, does AI still fall short?
In this video, we put AI mastering assistants head-to-head against professional human mastering engineers. We hit the road to Brighton Electric to test musicians and producers and find out:
👉 Can musicians & producers tell the difference?
👉 Which master will be their favorite?
👉 And can YOU guess correctly?
We used IK Multimedia’s T-Racks Master Match X & iZotope Ozone’s Mastering Assistant to build up the AI masters, and two professional mastering engineers in the UK for our human masters.
Think you can spot the difference? Take the test and let us know your score in the comments!
