AI Producer & LAW – Finally safe? What’s legal and what you really own
 
AI can take a lot of work off your hands in the studio: it delivers ideas, accelerates workflows, assists with mastering, generates sounds, and even supports vocals, cover art, or complete songs. But which tools are actually worth using? And what of it can you ultimately use commercially? In this masterclass, we’ll show you how to integrate AI into your day-to-day producer workflow in a meaningful way – practical, application-focused, and without dry legal jargon. You’ll learn which applications are comparatively safe, where copyright and personality rights become relevant, and why not everything that is technically possible ultimately belongs to you.
 
AI in the studio: assistant or liability?
 
This masterclass brings clarity to a topic that is currently causing uncertainty for many producers: Where can you use AI relatively safely, and where should you take a closer look at the license terms? When does inspiration turn into a le­ gal risk? And why is your own creative contribution not only musically import­ ant, but legally relevant as well? Instead of drowning in legal jargon, you’ll get a practical roadmap for everyday studio work: we’ll look at typical AI applicati­ ons ranging from mixing and mastering to MIDI, loops, lyrics, and artwork, all the way to complete songs, voice cloning, and soundalikes. You’ll also get a clear traffic­light system, quick answers to the most important producer questions, and an interview with specialist attorney Tho­ mas Seggewiß, also known as Nerdanwalt.

Test: Waldorf Iridium MK2 – Sampler, FM-Synth, Granular-Machine ...
 
Is the Iridium MK2 a must-have upgrade for owners of the first version? That depends largely on how much you value expanded sample storage and more sophisticated layered sound structures. For newcomers, however, the MK2 sets a new benchmark in the world of digital desktop synthesizers, refining the already powerful Iridium platform exactly where it matters most – memory capacity, processing power, and flexibility.
