Making Your First Transformation

Ready to unlock the power of vocal transformation? Here's everything you need to know to get started.

Preparing Your Vocal in Your DAW

  • Remove all effects (i.e. reverb, delay, chorus, distortion). Pitch correction (i.e. Autotune) can be applied before or after, but we suggest removing it and applying it afterwards.
  • Export your solo vocal track (no harmonies or doubles)
  • Begin the bounce from the start of a bar, that way it's easy to align when you drop the transformed vocal back in.
  • Save the file in a supported format. We suggest MP3 to keep filesize low - this won't affect your output quality.

Choose Your Voice Model

  • Navigate to Tranform on the sidebar
  • The artist browser opens by default, but you can click Browse Artists if you are on the Transform window.
  • Listen to preview audio of different singers, and select an artist that matches your vision
  • Click Select Artist to proceed to the transform page

Upload Your Vocal

  • In the Input Audio section, click to upload your input vocal, or click record to make a direct recording with your device's microphone
  • You will see an estimate of the credits that will be deducted for your transformation
  • You can hit the Play button in the top right to listen to your selected input audio.

Adjust Your Settings

  • Set appropriate pitch shift for your conversion
  • Use the Sweetspot Analyzer to understand how you may need to shift the pitch of your input to match the model's range
  • As an example, when converting male to female, you may need to shift an octave up (12 semitones) to sound good

Generate and Download

  • Click the Generate button
  • Wait for conversion to complete
  • Preview the transformed result
  • Download your converted file if satisfied

Back to Your DAW

  • Import the transformed vocal
  • Align it with your original vocal position
  • Check the final result in context

Pro Tips

  • Always start with dry, clean, solo vocals
  • Begin exports at the start of a bar for easy alignment
  • Preview voices thoroughly before converting
  • Convert small sections to preserve credits
