If you "personally arrange, engineer, and mix heavy punk rhythms, surf punk, and synthwave textures using professional mixing software", and AI usage is minimal or zero, please don't check the AI assisted box.
I check the box out of transparency because I use custom-trained AI tools in my sound design workflow before bringing everything into the mixing stage. I don't hide my process. The license is 100% commercially safe, the engineering is real, and the freebies are right there if you want to test the actual end-product quality. Cheers!
