He just wouldn’t be a day in the music industry without a breakup artificial intelligence history.
The last title? The public beta of Vocalist.ai – a “royalty-free” artificial intelligence voice transformation platform – has officially launched.
The voice tool, which claims to be “the first ever designed specifically for professional producers, songwriters, DJs and film and TV composers”, uses high-performance algorithms and GPU processing to transform voice inputs in singers and rappers.
An official press release states that “users can upload vocals – from a simple voice note on iPhone to a professionally recorded track – then choose from a growing library of meticulously curated and recorded vocal models.”
Users can transform their input voice into this new singer or rapper, featuring singers and rappers who have contributed to recordings and live performances of Beyonce, AviciiJustin Timberlake and Lizzo among featured voices.
The singers behind the vocal models receive royalties based on the use of their voices on the platform, which helps reward their contributions while providing no friction to creators who can use and publish their compositions royalty-free.
The team behind Vocalist AI includes songwriter/record producer and label owner Andrew Frampton (The script, Lewis CapaldiAlan Walker, Natasha Bedingfield, Pitbull, J. Balvin and R3hab) and platinum-selling songwriter/producer Max Farrar (Lewis Capaldi, The Script, Far East Movement and Au/Ra).
Commenting on the launch, Andrew Frampton said: “There is a growing sense within the creator economy that the future will belong to those who complement their writing and production with AI tools and the possibilities they offer. We approached Vocalist.ai entirely from the perspective of providing professionals with a tool that addresses the real challenges they face in the music production landscape. Our ‘voices’ come from a world-class talent pool and we are proud to work within a framework that rewards the artists involved.
The early access public beta is now available.
