I have no interest in AI composing for me however …I am eagerly hunting for one of the AI family that can reduce the time I spend editing.
That would significantly transform my creative process.

Heard some really good things about sonible smart eq4. A lot of people I know have had editing time freed up do to it
If Steinberg could implement a Ai system setup plan for your personal computer to take away all the issues with every new release that would be a major win , Customer support could be dropped , Ai could achieve everything via an online remote fixing service directly , Yep, putting people out of work but if these people can’t get it right from day one at least once out of 13 times should they be in the job ? 
Another use that I can see as workflow changing is the ability to talk to cubase as if collaborating with another musician. You can talk about how voicing’s would affect the tone. How you can modulate to create an idea. I could go on forever. But to have a Daw that is almost companion like and allows the thoughts of your consciousness to have something to bounce off. That could be cool…There’s nothing like working and getting in that zone with another musician. If AI is somehow able to get close to replicating that experience or enhancing it. I would be intrigued.
“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”.
I find beauty in imperfection, even if it would mean that I have to wait longer for certain thing, knowing that it took work and dedication behind it makes it beautiful - that is my opinion. Luckily we are entitled to different opinions, and can be friends even though that is the case

If I remember correctly there’s already research out there that shows how younger people have in some sense suffered from social media’s intrusion into their lives. It’s basically technology replacing human interaction in real life.
I really don’t think replacing humans with AI even in the case you suggest is going to be good for society as a whole. I think it’ll be a pretty bad thing. For the individual exception it’s going to be great, for society, terrible.
PS: I’ve already been ‘face-to-face’ with the social interactions of some from younger generations and it’s already depressing.

I totally agree with you about the lifetime experience. I am using it now for 42 years, starting on my atari ST in version 2 because from that version I could drag pieces of midi on my screen. The improvements grew by the years and now on version 13. It is a lifetime trip for me and I never get bored by it. I have no time or interest in any gaming because this IS the ultimate game. It keeps your brains and musical skills trained. You have to learn the new functions and train yourself to use them so its good for your producers skills, and very rewarding if your mix is sounding good. So I am one of the someones here in this forum, They do exist 
I would just like it to be able to fully understand the cubase manual and be able to contextually ask a chat bot to:
make my tracks wider, open media bay and find me a long cymbal sample, group all tracks that are red, turn down all channels by 5db, copy vst instrument 5 and open another 3 instances of the same plugin, backup my cubase profile, remove non vst3 plugins from my vst plugins list.
I just need an intelligent assistant, not interested in it writing a melody, those are the fun bits.
Stuff like that would be nice

I’d vote for that use case for sure!
We used to have these years ago, they were called “recording engineers” …

This breaks down what my thoughts were a lot better.
I gave it 1 minute and 28 seconds. In that time he manages to call voice commands AI, which is nonsensically beside the point, and then follows that up with “game changer”, an overused dumb phrase.
Is there any reason I should listen to the rest? Seems like “I have an opinion. No listen to it so I can make some money off of YouTube”.
PS: Who is this guy?
PPS: I was going to say that I would love to see that voice command feature in real life when there are 3-4 people in front of the DAW collaborating and the DAW is trying to pick up the commands, but then I remembered that we’re going to replace humans with machines anyway so it’s not really a problem…
Just to get my facts right. Siri is partial AI yes?
Which if is the case I imagine the voice commands he’s referring to would in my interpretation be Siri inside cubase…”hey cubey, can you select tracks one through 4 and trim the beginning of each by 3seconds”
Having autism I can say, (especially for people with my condition on more sever ends of the spectrum) having something like this would not just transform the entire process. But it could also open music to a bunch of people that otherwise would have never had a chance.
For me the big highlight is what AI could mean for DAW accessibility and entire communities that otherwise might never have had a chance. Blind people could work without limitations.
But I guess by some of the logic on here that’s not musical enough.
It’s kinda like Jodorowsky’s dune. The greatest film that was never made.
He was making a film from 2024 in the 80’s. The tech nor had the thinking of the day caught up to his vision.
I view Ai somewhat similarly. It is a tech from say 2050 but alot of it is being viewed by minds limited by the thinking we have in 2024. We can’t even conceive its function presently. So for the most part people are ridiculing it. Saying people will be stupider or lack skills they had in the good ol yesterday.
Change is scary. Always resisted……
Just look at the reaction to Cubase 13 lol
Time is our most valuable commodity so I appreciate any amount you gave. He’s definitely cringe with the delivery. Certainly gives some “cult salesman” vibes. But when you get past that some of the ideas I found interesting.
Though I recognise on this forum I’m in the minority*
Each to their own ways of creating and if you are on a tight deadline for creation I can understand you may wish for a shortcut process from time to time.
When I make music myself (for enjoyment, albeit fairly seriously) I like the feeling that everything a listener hears has originated from my own endeavour, that’s the entire reason behind making music for myself and a significant part of the satisfaction of completing a piece of work. It’s a personal and emotional expression.
I don’t want that taken away from me, even if it means working through various and tough problems. When I reflect they end up being satisfying and an important part of positive progress, learning and developing.
I tend only to create music when I have something I wish to express. Right now I have nothing to express so I am content to be in a period where I am not making a track. I enjoy other aspects of life knowing that I will start music making when I have something I wish to create or express.
For pure personal creativity, my own view is that I just do not want that need to be interrupted or interfered with.

We have talk about this some years now
What i realy want or wanted for a long time is some auto loudness stuff that i can set like -9 db that have noise in it that i cant hear. And when the sound start to brake thrue -9db lets say ±0,5db of the noise it stop and its good. Say a button that is on master out or a new tupé of channel lets say LPM channel ”loudness pre ”post” master channel”:). Like pre volume in the routing but on tracks and like VCA Ok lets make it more hands on.
Im Done with everything and i am good with the tune so far and decide to move on to the mixing phase. there I put up about 20-40 tracks that I will soften and mix down to bus level. I add my tracks and my buses and the new bus channel LPM before or after all my audio tracks. I press all the channels that I want to be included in the LPM channel or the LPM channels that go to each bus. when it’s ready, I open the LPM channel and set my values as what noise I want and what level and sensitivity. say I set the settings to -9db and brown noise and sensitivity to how much the audio channel is allowed to go above or below -9bd. and that I can set ready-made equal-loudness contours such as the Fletcher–Munson curve and other genres of music, etc. require slightly different settings. when I’m done with what I want. then I just press a button on the LPM channel and all audio channels auto-adjust to it. and if it sounds good, I press another button to implement this on each individual audio channel. and when it’s done, I can disable the LPM channel and all settings are set to each channel.
that I want a new channel like “LPM” is that you get done much faster with a tedious task that can be difficult and time-consuming to get the first step to a balanced mix that sounds purely loudness-wise. so from the idea until you get everything you want out and ready until you start mixing for real and form your next song that will be a world hit in your head hehe, it’s a work step that can save hours.
and I have one more thing, that you make an auto unphaser module, for example when you are working on, say, sub bass and kick, it always becomes work and time-consuming to adjust the sound curves so that they are tight enough but still do not phase each other as it always does at the transition between the sounds like bass and kick in a mix with already a lot in the low end. so to create the feeling of air faster between the sounds but still tight enough that it sounds good and driving, where you get right on just the small part of the sound apart from the module synthesizing away the phasing. hope you understand what I mean same where you can save time on mixes that are very heavy from 40-228 or more.
I see these two AI-based modules as doable and something that probably many people want, to get rid of annoying tedious moments.
or what do you think others? 
blev mycket som vanligt nu igen
or an AI synth that sew th gpt fast extremely much easier. and an infinite auto generator for bass synth pad chord etc. which is self-taught on tmillions of songs and mostly in underground music and basically everything on different streaming platforms until it becomes self-taught on arp, melody chord etc. on all the different music branches that exist. this is available today, tested many of them and it feels like you have to do all the work yourself anyway and they are not that good. same with the chatgpt synth, there you have to enter things like you yourself sat as vangelis and dialed in the sound. there you should only have to write the song and which synth sound you want and then there should be controls to fine-tune. and don’t enter what you want for effects and hire a lot.
so it’s just a matter of coding a code for two different AI plugins up and in with it in the neuro network for a year or so:) the same applies to AI compressor and AI Expander to get a good and fast rms and true peek basis
a i is great I think, think for yourself, how many people here like to change to winter tires and or wash the car? We can pay others who do that, that’s how I look at AI in production.
a surveying engineer to measure all the gravel piles with GPS to find out the quantities and how much has been worked up and when to settle and that no one has stolen anything. today he programs a route for a drone. and press a button and the drone flies its route and measures the distance between it and the ground. when it is ready, the engineer receives the measurement data, which he superimposes yesterday’s measurement data. and presses a button and gets exact daily amounts of different materials. same same
