Great job Bob, I bought this for myself for Christmas and this program is outstanding. Thank you for explaining the functions so clearly. You now have a new subscriber.

[@Nerladefensoradelosinocentes]

I love Ace. Thanks Bob!!!

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@Nerladefensoradelosinocentes This really enhanced my enjoyment of it for sure!

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Used Ace for a bit this summer. My complaint was the lack of usable voices, and how difficult vocal replacement was without spending a lot of time editing. Ace told me they would soon be rolling out many more features, and it appears we're seeing it now. Good for them. Also huge respect to Ace for paying Clara. I cannot stress this last part enough.

[@BobDoyleMedia]

It really does feel like a new program with the new voices - plus it REALLY helped to spend time with them. They admit they could do a better job with tutorials, but I'm loving it. Not perfect, and still takes work, but the tools are there!

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

You This is insane! I started playing with Ace almost a year ago, after watching two tutorials on it. I was really impressed with it, but didn't like how much editing needed to be done, especially since I use a lot of Hebrew terms in my music, which is hard to get Ace models to sing. I'm still playing with it, and appreciate that they're still updating it, and that they have good support! The choir feature is insane! Not sure it's practical for me personally, but I'll definitely try it out anyways! Your channel is amazing Bob, and I really appreciate the fact that we can see you doing the work! Most AI channels use AI generated videos and voices/people to demonstrate their work, which honestly makes it more annoying!

[@BobDoyleMedia]

Thanks so much!

[@hunabku1975]

This is beyond amazing!!! Thank for.sharing Bob!! ❤❤❤

[@DarkStoneCastle]

If you buy the program outright, how long do you get free future updates, if at all?

[@alondraolivo-j6j]

That is a great improvement. I use it to make church music, and it is fantastic! And it is fast, not slow and time-consuming like the other voices ai are

😮 OMG! All of my dreams are coming true! FANTASTIC VIDEO & BRILLIANT SOFTWARE

[@thomasschon]

This reminds me of how I remember Battlestar Galactica (2004). I want this to serve as the ambient background sound to the story of the final chapters of my life.

[@mgbchoralmusic6443]

This choir feature looks great. Can't wait to try it. I still find that a lot of the male voices sound like they have an almost Spanish accent! I've been playing with the phonetic spellings for pronunciations which helps a bit. I think some of the voices are more pop or hip hop than I want for choir demos/rehearsal tracks. Low notes, especially long low sustained notes of oo and ah are not great. So far though I am managing to get some good results.

I think you should do a live on this kinda stuff, I know great youtubers (such as yourself) that do lives even if they have handful of people watching it live, but what is good that anyone like me that know little about stuff like this software, can go watch the live later and see what mistakes you make, or what changes are good, and the few are watching will help or ask useful questions, I like long videos without cutting, it give me more confidence that I can do it too,

[@simchyr9120]

Have you or anyone else here try to train a unison choir voice with RVC? I have studio quality choir stems, but when I train them, it sounds nothing like the original sound, with many artifacts. I wonder if it's possible, maybe it has to do with the RVC pre-trained? PS I enjoy every video of yours, very educational, the best on KZbin.

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@simchyr9120 that is very kind of you to say. I have not personally tried to train a unison choir, but I have heard some NOT really good examples of people‘s attempts. But it was a long time ago on some random voice model site.

[@powerfunk6588]

Can you create a powerful belting rock voice? I haven't heard one in ace, or any other ai voice software. But Suno can create them. Do you know why that is? I'm guessing it's because the specific tone of a belting voice is very difficult to reproduce.

[@DjGolucky]

Bob thanks, you're so good

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@DjGolucky Thanks so much!

[@isajoha9962]

Finally a tool that seems to have a cool workflow. 😀 Can ACE generate lyrics eg via ChatGPT also adapted to the midi melody? Instead of having to tweak every little word part manually by hand. Being able to create a whole vocal instantly is worth a lot and not loosing the inspiration flow. Tweaking words can be done afterward when finalising a track or replacing with new lyrics, could be more like a post production thing using AI. AI voices in general starts to exceed average real singers in quality. Did a remix the other week and it had kind of uninspiring sounding voices and uneven recording quality.

[@HarryClipzFilmz]

Can we bring voices from other platforms like Udio to train them?

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@HarryClipzFilmz they do allow you to train one custom voice at no extra charge. I did one for me and it turned out pretty good although it was samples of me talking rather than singing. To use voices from Udio or Suno, you’d have to isolate enough voices to make a quality data set and I don’t think you’d be happy with the results.

[@HarryClipzFilmz]

@@BobDoyleMedia I meant could I isolate the voice from the song itself and train that voice is what I meant.

[@RodsBobavich]

What did you use for the animation of the choir at the begining?

[@BobDoyleMedia]

That was actually my first try with Runway Act-1 - which is amazing - and there will absolutely be a video on it - hopefully next week.

[@BobDoyleMedia]

To clarify, the 4 heads at the end of it were with Hedra.

[@RodsBobavich]

​@@BobDoyleMedia Please do. The new stuff with Act One Video source look really promising. You could do a whole episode just on Runway Act One and generative expand with first frame image. I think what you need to do is expand both ways twice to get an ultra wide shot and then pan in post so you can place the avatar wherever. I want to pull the trigger on Runway Unlimited but funds are tight at the moment.

[@MabelYolanda-c9i]

Coupon discount? Because the price point compared to Pro Tools, or NI Kontakt libraries is way too expensive.

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@MabelYolanda-c9i you cannot do what you can do with Ace with the Kontact libraries and ProTools. It’s apples and oranges. You would use this tool along with those libraries. And again, whenever it comes down to money, it depends on what kind of return you’re getting on your investment. Are you producing pieces of music with this that will earn you revenue? If not, then price is a nearly irrelevant thing to focus on or make a judgment about since you don’t really have anything to gauge it with in terms of it’s real value to you in a production environment.

[@fulldivemedia]

Wow you are cooking with magic, if you had this 30 years ago, ether you will be the richest person or the music industry would send assassins for you hehe Thanks, I love music and your take on them

Does the software support Vietnamese vocals? And is there a one-time payment method for all?

[@danielbanic3738]

I was expecting a mass choir of hundreds of singers or more at once , is that avallable in ACE ? They are always availble in keyboard samples and software plugins that I use.

[@BobDoyleMedia]

You can add and add and add. Not sure what the limit is, but I’m sure you can get the sound you’re looking for.

[@danielbanic3738]

@@BobDoyleMedia Ok , thats good , form my multitrack recroder experience , you just need around 7 to 10 vocies to make a chorus but it's a lot of work , it;s just better to do like the keyboard samples and have just one sample to have a chorus of people.

[@micah_noel]

I tried Ace the other day because they had a money-back guarantee and figured it wouldn’t hurt. But I spent about 3 hours with it and couldn’t even a few words to sound right. The workflow is not user friendly at all. By contrast, Suno is so easy to use that literally anyone can use it and it’s destroying the music industry with people who create music with no skill and just a couple of clicks. As a musician of 40 years I can see it’s value as part of my workflow. And with Suno I can have it sing the exact words I want it to and with a little work it can get close with the notes. Nothing like midi of course but letting it do its own thing a little bit produces great results anyway. I wish there was a middle ground. For example I have one song where one verse doesn’t quite follow the scansion and melody I want. It sounds okay the way it is but I really want it to match the pattern of the other verses and I’ve tried so many times to get it to sing it a different way but it won’t do it. A little midi editing for Suno could go a long way. But Ace Studio is way of the mark for ease of use.

[@joesalz9963]

I compose for choir, that means I write both the music and the lyrics. Getting Suno or Udio to sing my songs and make them sound like my song is utterly futile. It always takes way too much liberty, to the point it isn't really my song anymore. Even Suno's new upload feature is a step in the right direction, but still gives you practically zero control. Ace Studio Ai, on the other hand, will take your music (without modifying it) and adding the lyrics EXACTLY as you want them to sound. I just want my music sung by good sounding voices, that's all I want. Neither Suno nor Udio can do that, they come up with their own stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love Suno and use it, but if you're a composer, it is not very useful at all if you have written your own music. I may give Ace Studio a try, like I said, I just want my songs, sung by good sounding voices so I can record them.

[@micah_noel]

@ I agree but I also would categorize the Suno experience as a sort of virtual collaboration. If I gave a vocalist my music and lyrics they might do something entirely different from what I imagined. But of course with a real person it’s much more likely that I won’t like it at all(at least in my experience working with singers and other musicians). And I can ask it to keep trying again indefinitely, which is also something I wouldn’t try with a real person. So I’m okay with sacrificing a little of the control. If I’m using my lyrics and my music then I think it’s still my song. And I think that as the technology improves we’ll have even more control, regardless of the popular opinion to the contrary. I just found ACE to have an incredibly difficult interface.

[@joesalz9963]

@@micah_noel Suno doesn't really give you much control over what you want the music to sound like, which is both the beauty and downside to AI generate music. It is pretty random. It is great for generating random stuff, but not yet good enough to use your own compositions. As I said before, I write my own music, I just need better sounding voices to sing it. I always like to hear what my music would sound like if sung by real singers. I tried to do this with Suno and with their new upload feature, it tried to stick to my tune, but it was heavily modified. I've tried everything, but most versions it generate were unrecognizable from my tune. Now, if I just gave it my lyrics and prompted it to create something, it did an awesome job, but unfortunately it isn't my own composition. Suno is great if you don't compose your own music and just want random stuff. I ended up buying ACE Studio, and I didn't find the interface that bad, it seems like pretty much any other DAW. The one issue I had at first, it that it always failed to render or was taking a while to render. When I imported my midi it did a semi-decent job assigning lyrics to the right notes, still took like 20 minutes or so of manual modifications, but in the end I had my own music sung by better sound voices than the stock "oohs" and "ahhs". For me it is working great so far. It does take more tweaking than I anticipated, but it is the best tool for me right now. Hopefully Suno will do something similar or get better at leveraging your own compositions. I am a paid Suno subscriber by the way :)

[@chasvox2]

Nice presentation, indeed. The mitigating factor is: So far as I know, many, if not all, music libraries will NOT accept AI generated material for cues. (TAXI makes a big deal of this in their solicitations...DISCLAIMER: I get their email briefs, but am not a member...)...However, the ACE approach might be good for proof of concept composition....

[@BobDoyleMedia]

It would be interesting to see if those rules apply to something like this. This isn’t generating any kind of music from a model that has copyrights. This is only voices, they are all original to the platform. The music itself is written by the musician. I’m not sure how those rules would apply.

[@FrankBela-n5b]

Is her voice a part of the $200 price tag and how is it possible to use such a widely known singer, commercially in your own commercial music or product?

[@jambrosiamusicstudios9112]

Still sounds like computer voices. Am I the only one hearing this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Not USABLE 12:04

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@jambrosiamusicstudios9112 first of all, if you’re hearing AI voices at all, it’s because you’ve listened to a lot of of them, and you are sensitive to them. The general public has no clue. They wouldn’t know this from real. It’s absolutely usable in this form, at least to me, and I would imagine others,depending on the use case. Just my opinion, of course. Thanks so much for watching.

[@Fret-Reps]

Looks like a great tool. I didn’t watch the whole video, I just scrolled to see where you talk about pricing. I didn’t see anything on that. This is obviously a commercial, why don’t you talk about pricing? Of course I went to the website but the pricing is confusing. What does it mean, “(price)/mo. Rent for 2 years to own”? To me that means you pay for two years and then you own it from there on and you don’t pay rent anymore. If this is the case, what not just say own it forever for $397.92. Can you verify this? Thanks 🙏

[@BobDoyleMedia]

@@Fret-Reps I generally don’t talk about price unless there is a sale. Because all of these companies are in such crazy competition that prices change all the time and it becomes old information in a video. I prefer just to let people go to the site and see what the current deal is. Just my choice. They told me there is an option to just pay it all at once. I feel it’s a bit confusing as well.

[@Fret-Reps]

@ thanks, I see what you mean. Is the only difference between Artist and Artist Pro the “shared project storage” and “custom voice slot amount”? And is the Shared storage a cloud storage. If I store on my computer, can I have as many gigs storage I want? Sorry for all the question, but you are kind of their sales rep.

[@joesalz9963]

Dude, you can easily look up pricing lmao. it is $16/mo or $22/mo paid yearly for 2 years. After that you own a lifetime license, no more payments.

[@mgbchoralmusic6443]

Yes, the consonants really need to be adjusted. This was one of the biggest parts of the learning curve for me...figuring out to get all the consonants, especially end of notes all sounding clearly. Takes time but I'm getting much faster.

[@jkbristol]

They no longer have a monthly price option. The way it’s worded is weird if you’re not careful I thought I was going to pay $16 but $199 came off my card for a year plan. They have no phone customer service only email. I had the monthly plan before but couldn’t login so I attempted it with a new email. They are actually still trying to charge for monthly even though they say it doesn’t exist anymore. It’s criminal.
