The modern AI workflow is ideation, not automation. Generate a batch of ideas in Suno or Udio — prompt for key, tempo and vibe — then pick the best and regenerate for better structure or vocals.
Export stems (Suno separates up to 12) and MIDI, and keep only what genuinely serves the track. Then do the real work in your DAW: arrange, sound-design and mix the normal way. The AI was just the sketch.
Finish with AI mastering to hit the -14 LUFS target as a first pass, then run an AI mix-feedback tool for a frequency-balance and loudness sanity check before you release. Human ears still make the final call.
