Can AI Make Me Sound Like a Pro Singer? (with Audimee)

[@LanewoodStudios]

So how do you feel about AI vocals and what they can be used for?

[@dantestaccato]

I think AI can be a good thing in music. I never had access to singers and rappers so I started using Vocs AI and their artists

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@dantestaccato thanks for sharing!

[@TheCSteve]

Its fake ... Like Auto tune ..I prefer talented or good singers instead of this iI do everything alone thingy .. I am happy that i growed up in a time where people meet each other to make music .. And they did thier best to play as good as possible .. Auto tune and AI are just for the ones who dont cant sing or want to destroy thier real voice and pretend they have a voice what you hear .. Welcome in 2024 ..

[@LanewoodStudios]

Sure, it’s not for everybody. It’s also not going away though so I’d rather learn how to use it.

[@Wizball666]

I imagine using it to fatten background vocals would work really well. Instant Mutt Lange!

[@chillwalker]

Got the same problem: Composing since 1999 for living...but can't hold a single note ;-) And now, finally, I can write Songs without the barrier in my head "I need a Singer for the demo...ohnoooo...so much work..." Now I can do the writing.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it’s great for that 😎

[@LouYorkLife]

Yes, I no longer have to eal with the egotistical, delusional and entitled person inside the talent that I hire and pay, due to AI. Imagine paying for these demo singers, providing a safe space, vocal lessons, and professional studio with top notch engineers, and still have these singers think they are Mariah Carey without the resume. No more! Thank you, the gods of AI.

[@andredossantos6349]

​@@LouYorkLife that's what is holding my music release. I already do everything, now I learned how to make those metal screams but I really need a singer for melodic parts. And I'm tired of delusional, ego, full of shit people. I'll sure try this one out.

[@LanewoodStudios]

@andredossantos6349 yes give it a try!

[@ronniboi312]

Amen to that brother

[@johnplainsong9769]

This is the best of the AI vocal demo videos I've seen .... honest, useful, straightforward. I'm finding these ai services most useful for harmonies and backup vox.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thank you, very kind of you to say. And yes, they can be used very well for that.

[@FileTransferProtocol]

Very interesting. Fast forward a few years, and I see this included in Cubase. Track your lead vocal, and it will profile your voice, make an AI version of you and then instantly generate harmonies or background vocals for your track, or even doubling takes, in seconds instead of having to make a bunch of takes, and then comping them.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Great ideas, and yes that might be the future!

[@LouYorkLife]

I CAN'T wait for this part. Thanks for the dream!

[@tonyr.4778]

Dude, this has already been in Persons Studio One for years, including changing key for both audio and midi. The future is already here.

[@Hammerman48]

I love technology but I worry that feel will be lost making music this week.

[@Bradleybrookwood]

I would love to create a digital audio workstation that does exactly that. I would love to use logic but logic is becoming way too complicated and way too visual. I would love to make a digital audio workstation that really focused more on the music and less on the visuals. I would love to have a whole ton of knobs and sliders to make it easy for people to just use a navigate rather than having to constantly click on the screen or use a mouse. It gets tough sometimes when it comes to editing with the mouse like that because when you can't see You don't know if you're messing something up

[@frankmarini5391]

What I find amazing is the AI generated voices have your accent qualities incorporated. Amazing what technology can do.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes they take over all my bad habits too 😉.

[@brianfurlong]

Your comment about the vibe that each voice brings is very good. A good way to try out different vibes.

@@LanewoodStudios so with this app we cant really clone our own voice, right? it will sound something totally different?

​@@LanewoodStudios I've tried Audimee since you recommended it, and it's perfect for me. I'm only making music for my own creative purpose, and sharing with family, friends, and the worlds smallest fan base. Audimee is much more available for backing vocals than my adult children with awesome singing skills but oh so busy with their own lives.

[@monkeysinmygarden]

This was a great run through of this site and it's ability. For recording demo's this is an unbelievable tool. Fantastic.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chillwalker]

..and not only your voice. I barely work with vocal samples, cause The few that are really good, inspiring and, above all, actually usable due to their quality are so rare that other producers have already used them. In fact, me and a friend of mine used the same sample independently and when our (shared) record company asked us about it, we wondered who had "officially" remixed whom. But I recently found a vocal pack by chance that was so incredibly good that I immediately had two songs in my head with it. During the production (they were female RnB/Funk/Gospel songs) I thought to myself: "It's a shame. THIS SONG would be a great duet!... wait..." would be??" So I went to my trusted AI Vocal Site, uploaded one of the two verses, chose a nice male AI voice and turned the woman into a man (DON'T FORGET to transpose down an octave in the defaults!) THE ONLY PROBLEM IS NOW JUST: I bought the license to use these vocals. However, according to German copyright law, for example, changing a work of art(even if it has been licensed) is prohibited. I have to clarify with the producer of this sample series first... whether I'm allowed to do that ;-)

[@LanewoodStudios]

Great story and use of AI I think. The legal precedences of it all though …. we’re still discovering I guess 😉.

[@TheRealDEELProductions]

Right. the EU is very far ahead of helping people sort through the legalities of this sort of Tool. In the US, as in the olden days of yore; it is like the Wild Wild West in digital. By the time our Government gets around to actually clarifying some Terms of Use for AI Tools; those of us who are fascinated and intrigued will likely be trying to do whatever we can get away with.

[@kokoNanisson]

AI has achieved many milestones, including ChatGPT, and I believe it is starting to significantly impact music production. Every musician should now learn how to integrate AI into their daily work, which will provide huge value.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it’s definitely here to stay.

[@robh3702]

James sounds like Vertical Horizon vocalist Matt Scannell. Aston sounds like Stevie Nicks

[@LanewoodStudios]

Oh they definitely seem to be modeled a bit based on famous voices.

[@davidkeller8084]

Could be great for doubling vocals if you only have one track. This Sheet blows my mind.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes could be great for that!

[@scott21113]

This video is excellent - the comparisons and your examples are very helpful. It makes me think that in about 5-10 years we'll have outboard gear or pedal sized devices that will do this in real time. Probably it will be added as a feature in the next generation of workstations or arrangers like autotune and harmonizers, then separated as a single use piece of gear. I have a Roland VT-4, maybe the VT-12 will have a selection dial of 4-8 AI real time voice processors. Maybe Apple Logic 11 will do this - much like the named drummers. I can't wait for more of this technology.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thank you 🙏. More things to come in the future for sure.

[@PietroMinicelli]

I like your natural singing voice even if it’s rather sweet than perfect. I find these things fascinating but I promise in a few years most of the people will appreciate everything natural and „touchable“

[@LanewoodStudios]

Are you sure you listened to my voice and not the voice of the singer of our band (which is in the intro)? 😅

thanks for the thorough overview and comparing AI from a singer to AI generated from a non singer.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Glad it was useful!

[@PeterBatah]

Personally, I think that the technology could be useful when working with sketch vocals. I would not let it out of the studio though. Aslo helpful if one does not possess adequate vocal chops.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes exactly what I was trying here as well.

[@KordTaylor]

Thanks. Great video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Yes the legality is the questionable bit to me.

[@LanewoodStudios]

We‘ll see how that pans out.

[@cookbar55]

Excellent professional video thanks I’m trying to find out how AI software can improve my singing voice for personal use as a hobby. This is the best video on this I’ve seen so far by a long way and a great help. I am amazed at what can now be achieved and will definitely consider buying this software.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks, you can also check out the update to this video with some added features on the Audimee website. And if you're going to subscribe, maybe do so via my affiliate link in the description of those videos 😎😀.

[@markdeboerfotografie]

Grappig te horen dat de AI vocal ook het Nederlandse accent overneemt van de input van je eigen vocal. Tip: je kunt ook gewoon Nederlandstalige teksten als input gebruiken, dat levert best heel goede Nederlandse vocalen op.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Ha ha, ja je hoort mijn Nederlandse accent duidelijk als je dat herkent 😉. Zal het ook eens proberen met Nederlandse teksten dan 👍.

[@Mix3dbyMark]

Thanks for the video, AI vocals sounds great, what a technology , I’m shocked

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it’s pretty great!

[@LuizAlexandre_lalex]

Really depends on the input though. I think that it would be interesting if you showed a video with an out of tune vocal as input for the processed vocal. It will surely help the composers like myself along the way as usually the worst part is singing. I can handle guitars, bass and even drums, but singing 😂

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes the input is important but as I show in the video, I also tried it with my own voice and I’m definitely not a singer.

[@brockmiller574]

For whatever it's worth, I preferred your vocal for it's vulnerability, honesty, and authenticity over your singers vocal. I appreciate that taste is subjective. But I really felt like you were being a bit unkind to yourself. Everything has its place. Maybe someday you will find that place for your voice in the context of a personal expression. I wish you success in your future endeavors, sir.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Are you sure you listened to MY voice and not the one of our singer versus the AI in the intro ? 😉

[@tigabooma]

Maybe one day there will be a box that you connect to your microfone and that will convert your voice in (almost) realtime. So you can use this transformation on a live stage.

[@LanewoodStudios]

One day ......

[@MaPa60]

Thanks for this walkthrough, great when a real producer test things like this! I feel this isn't really different than EZ Drummer, EZ Keys and more by Toontrack, now just with vocals. Same with guitars, where you profile amps with Kemper and what not. The backside is that this won't add any value if you're an artist yourself, to have AI vocals on your music, so for artist branding like if you have a band or a solo artist, using AI could cause issues with building a fanbase - at least if you are not upfront about it (But we have Gorillaz ect). Cool tools!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes, let's see where it all goes ....

[@WunHungLo99]

I think one strong application is for BVs. If you have to generate BVs from a lead and pitch shifting you're restricted to the timing and lyrics on that lead. With AI you can input unique musically credible BVs with proper phrasing, words, gender mix.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes that’s a good use!

[@alexissongsforyou]

This technology is changing so quickly ... I wonder if you might have the time and desire to create a "Lanewood Studio Updated AI Vocals Subchannel" that can be updated as the next new thing comes around. Today ... Audimee. Tomorrow ...? Either way - I love what you do, across your multiple channels, thank you!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Hi Felipe, go for it!

[@gasperettiarts]

I understand that lots of musicians are scared by AI or just dislike it, but there are cases in which AI can help musicians like me who compose songs but don't have anyone to sing. With softwares like this i can now compose my vocal parts and have AI "sing" them. I'm still the creator, AI is just like a virtual instrument.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes exactly 👍

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Wow, sounds pretty good actually. No glitches or drop offs clicks or other imperfections....What I did notice is that obviously the singers are all different but the vocal performances are exactly as the original. What makes singers different are all the nuances style and vibe they inject on each song. So all of that is not there. It's just the same performance with a different voice...

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes you are right. The advantage of that is that you're more in control of what is being produced of course, but it is missing the human character and diversity.

[@sillysideproductions]

Thank you. This was very helpful.

[@LanewoodStudios]

🙏

[@IngwerNarrisch]

Sounds perfect for harmonies und backing vocals you're not supposed to hear clearly.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Absolutely!

[@themidimachine]

I use Synthesizer-V, which is more of a song-writing tool than a vocal replacer. It is however, capable of results that can fool even singers that it was sung by a real singer and could be used on commercial releases. As a non-singer myself, it has revolutionized how I write songs. If someone gives me lyrics, I can compose a simple piano backing and topline vocal in an hour and provide a demo. Of course it takes longer to do a more complex arrangement, and to finesse, but to get the idea across to a lyricist, its gold. And it has become invaluable in writing my own lyrics, something I always struggled with when I had to rely on session vocalists. I have a couple of links to Alonetone playlists in my profile if you want to hear how that sounds. I struggle to finish productions, but its no longer ever the fault of the vocal line.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Must have a look at that as well. You can provide a link in a comment but it will only be visible after I approve it. Comments with links are held back until approved.

[@hannahbackward]

I just bought it and I'm looking forward to learning it. I saw they have ARA2 now if your DAW has it. Of course I use Ableton which didn't include it in next version (12) despite millions of Live users requesting it. What is your workflow? Any tips to go from zero to 100 in a few months? Anything to avoid? Thank you! They don't have a owner's manual so I'm just watching videos trying to understand the interface but I'm gathering advice from users.. Thank you!

[@ThePlanarchist]

Wow fascinating.....really impressive...and this is only going to get better. Already absolutely useable for backing and harmony vocals to strengthen a track. Thanks for sharing.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@earthelder2065]

Great video! I think this technology will be useful for artist who don't sing and want to demo a song idea. The AI voices are lacking unique character and feel of a real human voice, but I think they sound pretty good.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes they are best when they’re in addition to real vocals at the moment.

[@GuyTallo]

The Isabella model gives a cool country vibe. Suits the song better than a male vocal in my opinion.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes I agree, that vocal is very nice for this one.

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Thanks for another excellent in-depth video! I have a question - is Audimee just using to the pitch and character of the original vocal (the vocal to be transformed)? To explain further, if I was to record my vocals with a bit of background noise (maybe very soft traffic, birds, the hum of an air-conditioner etc) would all that noise be in the AI version? Or, if I was to use a cheap microphone or even an iPhone to record vocals, would the AI version have a similar low sound quality?

[@LanewoodStudios]

The original recording should be as clean as possible. On the current interface they even provide the possibility to filter out noise/reverb etc.

[@yudhoi]

[@LanewoodStudios]

I've since relaxed on the de-essing a bit in more recent videos. But now I get comments that there's too much sibilance again ;). I guess it's also a matter of taste.

[@musicmaniac1949]

Very informative video and well demonstrated. I am a non-singer that desperately needs a singer when writing a song. I'm not sure I could even sing as well as you...okay, I'm sure I can't...lol. But you have given a great demo with just the comparisons I've been looking for. I work for a publisher and I can't even send him any more than lyrics to my songs. So this was exactly what I was looking for. My concerns are more to do with copyright ownership and buying some version outright instead of a subscription. Are my creative works able to be used by the company to further train their AIs? Adobe is getting some serious push-back from their users due to their new End User License Agreement. But this product is doing exactly what I need. As to your question about not using a real singer, my answer is no, this is both legally and morally acceptable in my view. There are so many legal implications that still need to be sorted by the courts, so time will tell. But these AI singers know exactly what their voices are used for and are being paid at the front end...so singers are being paid. Great video. Thank you.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks and glad it was helpful. No idea about whether your input is used to train their AI but I for one don’t really care. But you can use the voice in commercial releases when you’re on a paid plan.

I did end up buying an AI (Vois) product because of this video. I did not buy your recommendation because it only has subscription; this one, you can buy 'credits' outright; I just done a test with three lines of a song (female to male-down a perfect fifth) and it was amazing.

What I really, really would like to know is how well you can capture your own singer, and what effort it'd take. Got the problem that he removed (to another country, sadly) and I have stuff open that I'd like to get done with...

[@LanewoodStudios]

I didn't test that exactly but I tried it with a vocal from a sample library in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKPYhGt-eZKmqc0 And that worked quite well. As long as you have clean vocal recordings from your singer for 10 - 15 minutes it should probably work quite well.

[@rasputin1917]

Not even Prime Time TV channels don't have that lengthy commercial breaks@@LanewoodStudios

[@derfinne5460]

Thank you very much! Does it work with other languages than englisch?

[@LanewoodStudios]

I haven't tried it myself but I heard from others that they that some good results with Dutch (my native language) as well for example. So give it a try!

[@derfinne5460]

Thank you!

[@luisito19821982]

Can you use any language on the conversion or is it just English??

[@LanewoodStudios]

I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve seen multiple people comment that is even works in their foreign language. Just try it first.

[@sir_kafka]

I actually enjoyed your vocals without autotune the most, they were the only ones that didn't feel fake popmusic-ish. all the ai voices are so annoying, also the falsetto thing it's more musical without it imho

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thank you!

[@normjones6916]

I agree your vocals had a real connection to the lyrics and soul of the song, well done, sing your songs

I am using Audimee. Just started. When I import into cubase the converted file seems to be at a different sample rate so does not line up. I am tracking at 44.1K 16 bit. What should I set cubast at? Thanks for any info

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes I believe I mention in the video that the sample rate of the files they produce is a bit weird. But when you import into Cubase just let Cubase convert to the sample rate of your project and then there should be no problem.

[@JamesPresley]

@@LanewoodStudios thank you sir for the quick response. Cubase is not converting but I have a couple of work arounds. I will let you know my solution once I settle on that. I appreciate you and your channel. :)

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@JamesPresley thanks. When you drag your way audio into the Cubase project it comes up with a pop-up dialog in which you can say what to do with the audio. If that doesn’t happen, maybe you have disabled it? See forums.steinberg.net/t/convert-dialog-box-missing-when-importing/675629

@@LanewoodStudios thanks for that info. That could be it. I don’t get that dialog box. I will be back in my studio in a few hours and try that. I will let you know the results. Thanks again. :)

Crazy times indeed... Does it also able to work on other languages then English with those "AI singers" , say Russian, Hebrew, German, Arabic etc...

[@LanewoodStudios]

Hmm interesting question. Haven’t tried that. Give it a go on the free tier and let us know 😉.

[@mozizo11]

@@LanewoodStudios yes it does ! tried few bars of a Georgian language , some letters and syllables that are not exist in english. replaced to the closest ones, so it sound a beat like a singer that doesn't know the language perfect, or with accent, but nevertheless, its doing the job 👌

@@mozizo11 ha, great that you tried and for letting us know 👍

[@canberkguitar-sg6qu]

Hey will you make a tutorial about how to fix ai voice with auto tune?

[@LanewoodStudios]

I find that I use the same way for AI voices as for 'real' voices. And I already have a video for that on the channel. Does it not work for you?

[@Emily_M81]

Aston sounds VERY close to Hayley Williams - their demo of her even does her band Paramore's Misery Business. Damn, I was hoping you had the $12 account, because they don't specify the bitrate of the MP3s and the free MP3 is 192kHz. I'm not paying them for less than 256 or better still 320/VBR🙃 But now I doubt it is, 16-bit 40kHz??? screw this company LOL I'd accept 44.1 even, 40 is just weird o.O They should have an FAQ with the audio specs, or better yet ON THE PLAN BUY PAGE like a company not being sketchy would do Thanks for sharing :) In my brief use (Free Account) I definitely noticed that warble on longer notes, better on some voices than others.

[@LanewoodStudios]

I discussed the 40KHz with them as bit non-standard and they indicated that the algorithm currently works most efficient at that bit rate. They may change it later. Can be easily converted while importing into your DAW anyway.

[@Emily_M81]

Just with Variaudio in Cubase. I have a separate video about that 😉.

My vocal is not the one in the beginning but later on in the video. It’s …. well at least very limited.

[@myriaddsystems]

I think this will ultimately stifle individual creativity as well, limiting diversity and ultimately killing music

[@LanewoodStudios]

I don't know, it will change things for sure but drum machines and VSTis have not killed the use of real drummers and musicians.

I guess an idea would be to pay someone on fiver to give you a good demo then use this when that doesn’t work out.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes another good option too!

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Actors, musicians, producers, directors, animators, editors, studios, programmers, engineers and many many more are now obsolete.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Well, drum machines have not made drummers obsolete but it’s going to change for sure.

[@SandorFule]

Long time ago, singing was equal to live singing. Every song was uniqe, personal and unrepeatable. Then came recording, and every song became repeatable, impersonal. Now, here is AI, and we will never know, what comes from the loudspeakers, is a human, or just a computer.

[@LanewoodStudios]

I guess nothing endures but change, even if we don’t like it 😉.

[@Hammerman48]

I think it’s ok for demos…..but I wouldn’t want to see this being used for released material.

[@LanewoodStudios]

It’s getting better all the time. In a full mix you may not be able to tell the difference anymore.

[@mikeonb4c]

Oh dear. It seems to me that what AI can't (yet) do is create either the emotion or a subtle and unique personality to a vocal. Even for a demo, these are things that could be crucial to selling a song. And where, for example, the video author has to drop down to low notes because he can't handle the falsetto high notes, the AI only copies that: the inference behind the words is completely changed by singing the lines low instead of high. And then, I reflect on part of what makes a pop song a hit, and I think it is because the artist as a person resonates with an audience (hence all the TC interviews that follow etc). AI makes a complete nonsense of all of this by de-humanising what ought to have some human artistry (faults and all) and personality in it. So I'm out, as they say on Dragon's Den (and yes I'm a singer, and so are/were Lou Reed, Mark Knopfler, Dylan, Leonard Cohen etc, who could not be called great singers in the technical sense but who can nevertheless deliver a spellbinding performance - why is that I wonder, and no prizes for guessing).

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks for your input. We’ll see how it all pans out.

[@ronniboi312]

NO... you can alter the pitch or adjust the low pitched phrases with Melodyne to keep your original idea intact if you want to. This is simply a tool for helping the songwriting process along, I wouldn't personally look to release something with an AI vocal, (but that time WILL come)and for now this is perfect if I need a female vocal demo voice in the correct pitch for an artist.

[@Otchengazoom]

14:22 I can't recognize any "ethical" problem here. You can use any available tool to produce your music. Also the new technologies always make somebody jobless... It's just a natural law.

[@johannamit4388]

​@@LanewoodStudiosit could and will impact the livelihoods of some musicians. It will also challenge notions of creativity and originality in music. Spotify has removed thousands of AI generated music from their database. I guess it can be a good tool for indie artists but shouldn't be used on the final release.

[@ronniboi312]

they should never have been in work in the first place

[@HeathcliffBlair]

Interesting. Thanks. The vocal styles provided by the service are quite limited actually. Very poppy and pretty bland. Personally, I would be much more interested if they offered jazz or classical/operatic voices. Although that degree of expressivity may be beyond the AI at the moment. Cheers.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks and yes more variety would be great.
