In this episode of the AI Music Podcast, we explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming every aspect of the music industry. We move beyond the hype to uncover the practical tools and strategies that artists are using today, from instant song generation with text prompts to automated professional mastering that levels the playing field for independent creators. We reveal a powerful case study on monetizing AI-generated music, focusing on a specific, high-payout strategy. Discover why a platform like Tidal, with its $7.33 per 1000 plays payout rate, is becoming a secret weapon for artists who can produce music at scale using AI, even with a 2-3 month reporting delay. This episode's key takeaways: - How can you use simple text prompts to co-write entire songs with AI? - What AI mastering tools can give your tracks a professional studio sound in minutes? - Why is a higher per-stream payout rate more important than a platform's total user count? - What is the strategic trade-off between fast reporting and high royalties in music streaming? - Can an AI-generated music catalog truly create a sustainable income stream? - How is AI forcing us to redefine the role of the human artist in a world of automated creation? - Is the future of music human-AI collaboration, or a battle for the spotlight?
