Learn it here. Make it yours.

Plain-language guides for artists who use AI tools and still want the work to be theirs — recording, mixing, finishing and disclosing, step by step.

6 min readRecord your first take at homeNo studio, no gear beyond the phone or laptop you already own.

01Pick a quiet room and a time of day with the least street or house noise. Soft furnishings beat empty rooms.
02Use headphones — never speakers — so the backing track can't bleed into your microphone.
03Open the Hum Recorder in the studio and set your tempo. Hum the melody once through just to warm up, then hit record.
04Do three takes without stopping to listen back. The third is almost always the most relaxed.
05Listen back with your eyes closed, pick the take with the best feel (not the cleanest one), and delete the rest — decisive beats hoarding.
06Download the take as a WAV and bring it into the Mix Desk as your first track.

8 min readTurn a hum into a full songFrom a melody in your head to an arranged, finished track.

01Hum the hook only — eight bars, the part you'd whistle at someone. Don't hum the whole song; the hook carries the identity.
02Record it in the Hum Recorder, then set the Loop Builder to the same tempo and tap out a drum pattern underneath it.
03If you play an instrument, record a simple chord layer. If you don't, hum the chords too — two hummed layers an octave apart make a surprisingly full bed.
04Open the Wave instrument and use it to add one lead line you couldn't easily play by hand. Record it while it's fresh.
05In the Mix Desk, arrange: verse, verse, hook, verse, hook, hook. Drop the drums out for one section — a hole draws the ear back in.
06Balance, then export your WAV. That file is yours — every note started as your voice.

7 min readMix your vocals without a studioThe five moves that matter more than any plugin bundle.

01Cut before you boost. Lower any hum or room rumble below roughly 80 Hz on the vocal first — a clean floor beats a shiny top.
02Find the boxy spot — usually 250–500 Hz — and pull it down a couple of decibels. That alone makes a bedroom vocal sound intentional.
03Repeat the chorus vocal into a second track and tuck it a few decibels under the lead instead of stacking heavy effects on one take.
04Put a slow, small reverb on the lead and a longer one only on hooks. Space that changes between sections makes a mix feel alive.
05Solo nothing for the last pass. Listen to the whole mix at conversational volume — if the vocal still sits right, it sits right.
06Export the WAV, sleep on it, and listen once more on your phone speaker before you call it done.

5 min readMastering, in plain EnglishOne polish pass — not a second chance to fix the mix.

01Mastering can't rescue a mix — it makes a good one consistent and loud enough. Fix problems in the mix first.
02One broad EQ move at most: a gentle high shelf for air, or a low cut below 30 Hz to give streaming loudness room.
03Add a limiter and aim for the loudest part of the song to just barely touch the ceiling. If it's crushing everything, back off.
04Compare against a track you admire at the same volume — not to copy it, but to catch a mix that's too dull or too harsh.
05Export one final 16-bit WAV. That's your master — keep it, name it well, and never re-export over it.

9 min readMake an AI demo your ownYou started a track in an AI tool. Here's the path to making it genuinely yours.

01Know what can't come with you: the generated audio and any AI-sung vocals. They stay behind — that's what keeps the song yours.
02Write out what's actually reusable: your title, lyric ideas, the melody you can hum from it, the structure you liked.
03Bring the demo into the Mix Desk as a reference track — muted while you work, audible only to compare against.
04Re-hum the melody with your voice. It will differ from the AI version. Good — that difference is your authorship.
05Re-play or re-sing every part you can. Use the Rebuild Room in the studio for a step-by-step plan matched to what you can perform.
06Run the Hybrid Check before you finish. It shows your human share and writes the disclosure line you'll publish with the track.
07Release it with the Human Hybrid label and a plain credit sheet. Owned, performed, disclosed — nothing to hide.

4 min readDisclose your AI roles with confidenceThe Human Hybrid label is a strength — say it plainly and keep the trust.

01List every place AI touched the track: sounds, stems, lyric drafts, mix assists. Vague credits read as hiding; specific ones read as craft.
02Put the human credits first and in more detail. 'Wrote, sang and mixed by X; AI-assisted stems selected by X' leads with the person.
03Use the same disclosure sentence everywhere — profile, track page, captions. Consistency is what builds a reputation.
04If asked how it was made, answer in one calm sentence and link your credit sheet. You never owe anyone an argument.
05Never erase AI from the credits after the fact. One caught omission undoes a hundred honest releases.
