Since the start of 2026, the music world has changed
AI Music has now made up at least 28% up to 40% of daily uploads onto these platforms, and a decent chunk belongs to people pushing out AI music solely for profit over any form of creativity
 
With the addition of Spotify "carefully" labeling real musicians who do not use AI Generation, their requirements have left many musicians who don’t use any AI Generation and just below this requirement in the dust.

 
I feel that two additions to both of these platforms will let users / listeners who use these music platforms daily be able to fully understand in a complete transparent way on WHO they are listening to and WHAT they are listening to.
 
If there is enough evidence to show that the artist on this platform is AI Generated and not a real-life musician, it should have an "May Contain AI Generation" label on the artist profile itself, similar to how Spotify now has "Verified By Spotify" so the listener understands that the person behind the songs they are listening to with full transparency.
If there is enough evidence to show that the song on this platform is AI Generated, it should be listed next to the artist name on these platforms with "May Contain AI Generation", so if a listener finds the song on a "Mix" or a "Radio" they are listening to, they are able to view that the song could have AI Generation involved with it.
Considering that both of these platforms have allowed AI Generated Music to be put on the platform and have started to implement a crude method to verify musicians who don’t use AI at all, we need to at least have full transparency that the track was either made by a real human or made by an AI or an Hybrid AI/Human track

Hey, I am a beginner producer and want to release music. I am working on a clubby Charlie XCX-style song and am not sure how to make the vocals sound good. I use Cubase Elements and am not sure how to make it sound clear and give it that glitchy autotune effect. Does anyone have any tips?

Hola a todos en la comunidad!
Quisiera preguntarles sobre el funcionamiento y la lógica detrás del NE555, especialmente para su uso en osciladores y sintetizadores analógicos.
Soy novato en el mundo de la electrónica, les agradecería si procuran dar una explicación no tan técnica y un poco mas digerible.
Muchas gracias!

So A little context I run an online business, and for the past few months I haven’t been able to create anything I’m actually proud of.

Everything either ends up sounding way too generic or way too experimental, it feels like I’ve lost the balance I used to have creatively.

I think work stress might be a huge part of it, the last few weeks especially have been ridiculously stressful and I’m finding it really hard to get into the right headspace to think creatively.

Do you guys ever go through phases like this?
Any advice would help

I think a lot of producers jump into vocal EQ too fast without being fully sure what they are trying to fix.

Sometimes the issue is mud. Sometimes it is harshness, boxiness, nasal tone, weak presence, or too much sibilance. And sometimes the vocal is fine on its own, but it is fighting the instrumental.

For me, a big part of vocal EQ is diagnosis before adjustment.

What vocal EQ problem gives you the most trouble when mixing?

• mud
• harshness
• boxiness
• nasal tone
• not enough presence
• too much sibilance
