“Due to the time it takes SoundAI to process a typical 3 to 5 minute audio track, I found it slowed down my workflow considerably when auditioning the different VoiceAI artist presets. Sure there is an in built audio clip of each artist preset but a feature that allows users to hear a 5 to 10 second clip of the presets singing the actual unprocessed audio vocals in their DAW would be more timely and informative.
Once an artist preset is chosen and AI processing is applied, there is very little or no control over how the presets deliver the vocal proformances as there is in Dreamtonics Synthesizer V for example. So for instance, there is no way to change the accent or pronounciation of words or vocal emphasis such as vibrato etc.
Otherwise SoundAI is a fantastic idea with a promising future. I would re purchase if some upgrades are made.”
“This is total madness! I've been waiting for so many years to finally be able to transform my uninteresting voice into a version worthy of presenting to anyone without bleeding ears. The voices are very pleasant and varied. I needed a feisty, screaming and typical rock voice the most and I finally found it in this program (please add a few more in this style). As a composer with an ugly voice, I can finally start publishing my ideas without asking absolutely anyone to sing the melody line as I imagine it. I also tried to replace the voiceover timbre of the narrator with Ai, but in my case the Polish language has difficult rustling consonants and the algorithm still needs to be refined, but in English I think it is possible to replace the voice without any problems - and here I emphasize that VoiceAi proves that it is not only used for singing vocal samples, but also spoken ones, which is not mentioned anywhere in the description or demonstrations on YT. I also respect Sonarworks for their policy of not forcing subscriptions, but I can calmly use the VoiceAi capabilities without stressing about renewals and the need to use the internet. Huge respect for that! I am excited and very grateful for what you have done.”
“Amazing but still a little scary. Voice to voice conversion works really well and fast. Choice of timbres/voices is large and already pretty well balanced. Voice to instrument conversion could be improved, because the instruments don't sound too realistic. What would be really great would be a MIDI out to choose the instrument yourself. Overall an amazing tool for content creators.”
“Too little for the headvoice singer. When change to female voice from a male, sometime there are unwanted high freq electric noise ( 8k-12k Hz) generated.”
“The plugin works without any problems within the DAW (Cubase 13Pro). The different voices are perfect to apply to different genres. Clear purchase recommendation”
“I am an amateur song writer. The songs that I write vary in the type of singer that is appropriate for the song: gender, age, vocal timbre, etc. This has been a stumbling block and deep frustration for me for several years since the idealized "song voice" in my head could never be realized since there would be no practical way for me in finding and auditioning appropriate singers and then paying them for their efforts, and then recording them in a small bedroom studio.
With the advent of the much-purported AI revolution in the news, I wondered if there was a chance that some tech developer(s) created and made available a plug-in for DAW that offered what I hoped for was a solution to my dilemma.
About eight weeks ago I did a quick web search inquiring about AI vocal production and lo and behold SoundID VoiceAI came up. I was intrigued, so I investigated the web site and read all of the info. I thought that this was too good to be true. I'm not pessimistic by nature, but I have been burned before by plug-ins that "promised the world" but fell far short.
Still curious, I searched YouTube for reviews of this product and found several. The reviewers sounded surprised and delighted that this product actually did what it said it would do. Hmmm. My spirits lifted a bit, but I decided to think about it for a while . . . about six weeks.
Then my curiosity couldn't be contained any longer so I decided to take the plunge. I purchased the "Perpetual" package. The payment and download were straight forward, no hiccups even for me.
In application in my Logic Pro DAW, it took a few tries to get the gist of how to use the AI Voice plug-in, but was truly delighted at the results. The voice samples actually sounded how I imagined them: the children sounded like children, the teens like teens, and mature and seniors like they should. Win-win. I will use this plug-in with great anticipation and confidence from here on out.
I do have two qualms, though. On a vocal track where I have used the VoiceAI, if there is a lengthy space of twenty or thirty seconds or more of silence followed by more vocals, the plug-in shuts off during the silence and won't turn back on for the next vocal part on that track. This was very frustrating at first but was quickly resolved by recording "scratch vocals" over the "silent spaces" between the intended vocals and then turning down the volume so the "scratch vocals" wouldn't be heard. This kept the plug-in operating continually for the length of the track. Is this a glitch of feature, I don't know.
And there is a slight hint from time to time of an “artificial-nis” of the VoiceAI sound, but really not enough for me to be concerned about, and I’m a stickler.
The other qualm is I wish there was a broader variety of senior-mature voices to round-out the vocal offerings. All-in-all, I'm delighted at with this product, would highly recommendit to anyone and am thrilled with my results.”
