ACE Studio
AI singing-voice workstation: MIDI + lyrics in, studio-quality vocals out.
About
ACE Studio is a music-production-focused vocal synthesis platform for macOS and Windows. You feed it MIDI and lyrics, and it renders editable vocal performances from a library of 140+ royalty-free AI singers spanning pop, rock, opera, hip-hop and R&B, singing in eight languages including English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. A piano-roll editor gives detailed control over pitch, timing, vibrato, pronunciation, breathing and emotional intensity, and custom voice models can be trained from your own recordings while VoiceMix blends existing voices into hybrid timbres.
Version 2.0 expands beyond vocals into a full production suite with AI instruments (violin, cello, saxophone and more generated from MIDI rather than sampled), a Generative AI Kit for idea sparking, stem splitting and vocal-to-MIDI conversion. It integrates with DAWs via VST3/AU/AAX bridge plugins. Pricing is a lifetime license (Artist £398, Artist Pro £528) rather than a subscription — unusual in this market and a genuine differentiator, though buyers should confirm what future major-version upgrades cost.
