I'm curious if there are any AI tools available that can help me put together MIDI drums and assist with mixing music. Specifically, I'm looking for something that can make adjustments to the drum patterns and give feedback on the overall mix quality.

I created a plugin called Midi Agent that helps with some drum programming. However, using AI for drums can be tricky since rhythm is complex. If you give it specific instructions like kick on 4/4 and snare on the 2s and 4s, along with 16th note shakers, it'll do a decent job. But if you just say "jazz drum kit," it might struggle a bit. We're still years away from AI efficiently analyzing and providing feedback on mixes in a DAW; it's a tough challenge because audio processing is super complicated, especially when it needs to happen in real-time. There’s a setup called Ableton MCP that you can connect to, but it's not very user-friendly and has limitations.
You could just hire a drummer! 😂
Haha, I wish! Unfortunately, I don’t have access to that option.
