Let’s be real, making music is all about chasing that perfect sound you hear in your head. But when it comes to vocals, getting it just right can be a huge challenge. That’s why we’ve been diving deep into the world of AI vocal tools, getting our hands on the most talked-about software to see what it can really do.
The verdict? The days of robotic computer voices are long gone. We’ve been blown away by how good these tools are, so we wanted to share our experience with three of the best we tested: Dreamtonics Synthesizer V, Voice-Swap, and Sonarworks VoiceAI.
Dreamtonics Synthesizer V: Our Personal On-Call Singer
We’ve been looking for a virtual vocalist that feels real, and Dreamtonics Synthesizer V (or “SynthV”) is the closest we’ve ever come. We found this software lets you create incredibly realistic and emotional vocal tracks completely from scratch.
Our testing process felt a lot like using a regular DAW. We simply typed in lyrics, drew a melody on the piano roll, and listened as SynthV generated a singer who could nail every note, sing in multiple languages, and never needed a break. What impressed us most was how human it sounded. The AI engine adds all the little details—breaths, emotional wavers, and subtle imperfections—that make a performance feel alive. We even put its new rap engine to the test and got some seriously slick verses. For creating lead vocals, complex harmonies, or just getting a polished idea down fast, this was a winner in our book.
Voice-Swap: We Tried On a New Voice, Ethically!
This one was a super fun and fascinating tool to test. Voice-Swap has a unique pitch: sing a part yourself, and have it come out sounding like a completely different, professional artist. We had to try it.
We uploaded a few of our own vocal takes, and the AI transformed them to sound like artists from their roster. What we really appreciate is their ethical model. Voice-Swap partners directly with real singers who get a cut of the revenue, so there’s no shady business. It was a fantastic way to hear our own song ideas in a new light. For anyone stuck on a demo, we found it’s a brilliant way to sketch out new possibilities without booking a studio session.
Sonarworks VoiceAI: Real-Time Vocal Magic in Our Projects
We know Sonarworks for their top-tier audio correction software, so we were excited to test their new creative plugin, VoiceAI. It promised real-time voice morphing right inside our DAW, and it did not disappoint.
This thing was pure creative fuel during our sessions. We could sing a line and instantly flip through over 50 different voice characters and styles. The wildest part for us was turning our voices into other instruments. We hummed a bassline and heard it back as a funky bass guitar. We sang a simple melody and transformed it into a beautiful cello solo. It’s an incredibly fun and intuitive way to generate new parts and add unique sonic layers to a track. Sonarworks VoiceAI absolutely delivered on its promise of breaking down creative barriers.
The Verdict From Our Testing
After spending time with Synthesizer V, Voice-Swap, and Sonarworks VoiceAI, we can confidently say they are more than just tech demos—they are genuinely useful and inspiring creative partners. These tools aren’t here to replace human singers but to give every musician, producer, and songwriter new superpowers.
So, if you’ve ever felt limited by your vocal abilities or just want to explore some exciting new sounds, we highly recommend giving these tools a look. Based on our experience, the future of vocal production is here, and honestly, it’s a ton of fun.
