The Future of AI in Music: What's Next After 2026

Image
By SOUNDSLANKA Team — November 7, 2026 Short answer: AI will not replace human musicians. It will split music in two: cheap, instant AI music for background listening and games, and scarcer human music for fans who care who made it. Creators who use AI as a tool and prove they are real will win. Here is the evidence. What did 2026 actually look like? In January 2025, Deezer received about 10,000 fully AI-generated tracks a day. By January 2026 it was past 60,000 a day. By April 2026 it was nearly 75,000 a day — roughly 44% of everything uploaded. By June 2026, at peak, it was nearly 90,000 a day, more than half of all new uploads. And yet almost nobody was listening. Those tracks were only 1% to 3% of streams on Deezer, up from about 0.5% in mid-2025. Deezer says up to 85% of the streams they did get in 2025 were fraudulent — bots and farms inflating numbers to chase royalties. In November 2025 an AI-generated song reached number one on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales...

Submit Your Music & Tools

Do you make a VST plugin, a sample pack, a KONTAKT instrument, an AI music tool or a tutorial that producers would love — free or paid? We would like to hear about it. SOUNDSLANKA features free and premium tools for music producers around the world — and every feature starts with a submission like yours.

What We Are Looking For

  • VST, AU and AAX plugins
  • Sample packs, loops and presets
  • KONTAKT instruments and libraries
  • AI music tools — generators, stem separation, mastering, vocal tools
  • Tutorials, templates and producer resources

Free and paid products are both welcome — just tell us the price clearly.

How to Submit

Send us your product through our Contact page. Please include:

  1. The name of your product, and a link where we can try it.
  2. What it does, and which DAWs and systems it works with.
  3. What it costs — free, paid, or free with a paid version — and what the paid version adds.
  4. Anything else that helps us understand it — a short demo video or a few screenshots, for example.

What Happens Next

We read every submission. If your product fits the site, we will download it, test it ourselves, and write an honest guide or review. We only write about tools we have actually tried. If it does not fit — for example, if it is not a music production tool, or it only works on a system we cannot test — we will let you know when we can.

Our Rules

  • Your product must be legal and safe to download and use, with no hidden charges — free or paid, the price must be stated clearly.
  • It must be legal and safe — no cracked software, no pirated samples, no malware.
  • You must own the rights to it, or be authorised to share it.
  • Do not send us passwords, licence keys or private account details.

Editorial Independence

A feature on SOUNDSLANKA is earned, not bought. We do not charge for submissions, and a feature is not a promise of a positive review — we write what we honestly find. If you would like a guaranteed placement, please see our Advertise With Us page instead.

Thank you for making tools for producers. Send your submission through our Contact page — we look forward to trying it.

AI Film Scoring: How AI Is Changing Movie Music

Image
By SOUNDSLANKA Team — November 7, 2026 Picture it. The lights go down, and for a second there is nothing but black. Then a mountain ridge appears at dusk, a lone figure walks toward it, and the strings begin — low at first, almost a held breath, then swelling until your chest tightens with it. You do not think about the music. That is the point. Good film music is invisible until it is gone. Now ask the awkward question: who wrote that swell? Ten years ago the answer was obvious — a composer, working for months. Today it is more complicated. Sometimes a human wrote it. Sometimes an AI wrote a first version and a human rebuilt it. Sometimes an AI wrote it in full, in minutes, for a short film that could never have afforded an orchestra. And sometimes, in a game, nobody wrote it in advance at all, because the music is being made while you play. In short: AI is changing film scoring by making usable, scene-matched music fast and cheap — for temp tracks, short films, indie games and ti...

Best AI Plugins for FL Studio, Ableton and Logic

Image
By SOUNDSLANKA Team — November 7, 2026 I spent a Saturday last month installing every AI plugin I could get my hands on, and by Sunday night I had learned something uncomfortable: most of them do the same three things, and half of them do those things worse than the tools already sitting inside my DAW. The good ones, though, genuinely changed how fast I work. This guide is the short version of that weekend, plus the months of actual sessions since. Short answer: The best AI plugins are MIDI Agent for AI MIDI, iZotope Neutron 5 for mixing, Ozone 12 for mastering, Synplant 2 for sound design, and LANDR Composer for chords. All work in FL Studio, Ableton and Logic — format, not DAW brand, is what matters, with strong free options. Why Does Almost Every AI Plugin Work in All Three DAWs? Here is the thing nobody tells you when you are shopping: DAWs do not really "support AI plugins" as a category. They support plugin formats. FL Studio and Ableton Live both run VST3 on Wind...
