The Studio That Didn’t Exist Five Years Ago
Five years ago, producing a release-quality track required thousands of dollars in equipment, years of training, and access to a professional studio. Today, the AI music generation market has reached $2.8 billion, and tools that generate complete songs from text descriptions are used by millions of producers — from bedroom beginners to Grammy-winning professionals.
This isn’t about replacing musicians. It’s about giving everyone access to tools that were previously locked behind expensive software and decades of training.

Your AI Music Toolkit
Here’s the landscape of tools you’ll learn to use, organized by what they do:

✅ Quick Check: Why should you learn multiple AI music tools instead of just one? Because each tool excels at a different part of the production process. Suno generates ideas fast. Udio gives you stems to work with. BandLab lets you arrange for free. LANDR masters the final track. A professional workflow chains these tools together.
Setting Up Your Free Studio
You can start producing with zero investment. Here’s your Day 1 setup:
- Create a Suno account (free tier: 50 credits/day) — for generating song ideas
- Create a BandLab account (completely free) — your DAW for editing and arranging
- Create a Lalal.ai account (free tier) — for separating stems
- Bookmark LANDR’s free mastering — for polishing your final mix
That’s it. Four free tools that cover the entire production pipeline from idea to finished track.
The AI-Assisted Workflow
Throughout this course, you’ll learn this production workflow:
Idea → Generation → Arrangement → Mixing → Mastering → Distribution
At every stage, AI handles the heavy lifting while you make the creative decisions. You’re the producer. AI is your session band, your mixing engineer, and your mastering house — all available 24/7 for free.
