According to the survey conducted by Tracklib, a platform that provides licensed samples and stems for music production, 25% of music producers are now using AI in their craft, although a significant majority (73.9%) use it primarily for stem separation rather than generating entire songs or musical elements.[1] The survey found that a large majority (82.2%) of non-AI users cite artistic and creative reasons for not using the technology, while 34.5% cite quality concerns.[1] There is also a divide between perceptions of "assistive AI," which aids in the music creation process, and "generative AI," which directly creates elements of songs or entire songs, with a majority of respondents holding a negative view of generative AI.[1] Despite the apparent resistance, 70% of respondents expect AI to have a "large" or "massive" impact on music production in the future.[1] The survey also found that willingness to pay for AI technology is low, with nearly three-quarters of AI users using only free tools.[1]
