A finished audio file is no longer enough to prove that a person actually made it. The concept of “origin … Read more
AI stem separation has changed what producers, engineers, DJs, remixers, and post-production teams can do with finished audio. A process once described by engineers as trying to “un-bake a cake” is now handled by neural networks that can estimate vocals, drums, bass, dialogue, ambience, and other elements from a completed stereo mix.
