He highlights the tool’s ability to create music quickly but suggests it needs more customisation options tailored to DJing needs, such as better control over song structure and remixing capabilities. Reflecting on AI’s impact, Paz sees potential for AI to enhance DJ workflows by handling mundane tasks like music organisation and suggesting transitions, allowing DJs to focus more on creative aspects like live remixing and engaging with the audience.
Despite AI’s efficiencies, Paz emphasises a preference for the authenticity and spontaneity of live music performances.
