“Sonarworks SoundID VoiceAI Plugin – A Rock-Solid Game-Changer
As a music producer working across genres but with a heart rooted in rock and grit, the SoundID VoiceAI plugin from Sonarworks blew me away. It’s rare to find a plugin that actually does what it promises, but this one nails it—clean, natural voice enhancement with zero fuss. Whether I’m tracking vocals or doing VO work, it just works, and sounds killer.
The Sonarworks site is slick and everything I needed—tech specs, sound demos, install guides—was easy to find. No guesswork, no rabbit holes. After purchase, the setup was fast and smooth. I was up and running in under 10 minutes, which is what you want when you’ve got an artist waiting or inspiration striking.

“Tres belles voix !
Multiples choix !
Une amélioration :
1) Avoir la possibilité de changer de voix sans être obligé de refaire une capture.
2) Pouvoir télécharger plusieurs voix à la fois.”
“I purchased SoundID VocalAI. I am an amateur songwriter with hundreds of songs written and recorded over the years. It's my favorite thing to do. I approached VocalAI as a tool to give me more options and flexibility when creating my demos. For my best tunes, I still want a real lead singer, but getting there VocalAI is now an indispensible tool. And it's a hellava lot of fun to use.
The core of the software works effortlessly once you learn the basics. (PS: My DAW is Sonar by Cakewalk - I haven't had any issues). By "core", I mean the process of replacing the tonality of an existing vocal with another - from man, women and even child. It's like having your vocal cavity/chords replaced.
One thing I like about VoiceAI is you are NOT replacing one vocal with an artificially created vocal. The basic performance which comes from the original singers articulations and pitching is still there. Some may call VocalAI's a "cheat", but really it's no more a "cheat" than using an "EQ" or compressor. The vocal performance, in my case, is all me. But the tonality of the vocal is now much more enjoyable to listen to.
It's not a perfect piece of software, however. There's no deal breakers as far as I am concerned, but there are some "optional features" that need finesse to use. For example, you can create vocal doubles on the fly and while they sound ok, they are not as good as the real deal. But for comping, they can work.
But as I said, the core functionality of VocalAI is off-the-charts kick-butt as far as I am concerned. I'm writing a song now where a female vocal would be best. I applied "Rebecca" to replace my voice (no octive shifting was needed) and I've played it for several people none of which knew it was really me singing! How cool is that!?
I own the perpetual version and unless you are only going to use vocalAI for one song that is definately the way to go. There are also more features in the perpetual version and it's faster since the processing is done on your computer.
I'm not a sonarworks fanboy nor am I paid for this review. It just has done so much for my song crafting experience. It has been a "watershed moment" for me.
It's not perfect, yet. But the developers are issuing updates routinely which shows the software is still receiving love.
I rated it as 4 stars. It should really be 4.5, and I will give it a 5 as the software is fully polished. But it's damn good, and plenty fun, to use now.”
“Amazing plugging with a lot of capabilities and give some life to your projects. It became a tool I use in all my projects and I’m looking forward to future features they are going to add since it still has a lot of potential.”
“Big investment, sadly it now stops working with the AI disabled button blanked out in Studio One. I have perpetual license, and since the last upgrade it has failed, disappointed, hopefully sonarworks will fix this issue asap .”
