Optimizing Your Vocal Inputs

Your input vocal plays a crucial role in the final output quality. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal results with your vocal transformations.

Basic Requirements

  • Isolated Solo Vocal: Use a clean, single vocal track without harmonies or double-tracking
  • No Effects: Upload raw vocals without reverb, delay, chorus, or any other effects
  • Clean Audio: Ensure your recording is free from distortion, pops, clicks, or artifacts
  • Minimal Background Noise: Avoid headphone bleed and background interference

Best Practices for Better Results

1. Match Your Vocal Range

Align your voice as closely as possible with the target model's range. While pitch-shifting is available, it has limitations:

  • Large pitch shifts may sound unnatural
  • If the range difference is significant, consider re-recording your input
  • Stay within a comfortable vocal range for the most natural results

2. Embrace Imitation

If your transformation isn't achieving the desired feel:

  • Try re-recording while imagining the target singer's style
  • Mimic their vocal characteristics as best you can
  • Remember that small changes to your input can significantly impact the output

3. Experiment with Your Approach

Don't be afraid to try different approaches:

  • Vary your vocal tone
  • Adjust the emotional intensity
  • Change how you express the lyrics
  • Test different singing styles and techniques
