On this week’s podcast episode, I speak with legendary Nashville engineer and producer Ed Seay about AI generated demos, modern songwriting trends, mixing tools, and how the Nashville sound has evolved.
From demo studios being bypassed to why human instinct still cannot be replaced, this conversation offers an inside look at where music has been and where it is headed.
In This Episode
• How AI generated demos are changing the traditional studio process
• Why most listeners judge the result, not the process
• Mixing in the box and the evolution of plugins
• Saturation, tape emulation, and modern vibe tools
• Machine learning tools like Ozone and when to use them
• Why Nashville songs now have more writers than ever
• How streaming has changed song structure and length
And much more.
