ACE Studio
ACE Studio is an AI-powered generative music workspace built for music producers. It turns MIDI and lyrics into expressive, studio-quality AI singing vocals, generates natural-sounding AI instruments, clones voices, splits stems, and composes music for video — all in one application. With 160+ royalty-free voices, 40+ instruments, and deep MIDI control, ACE Studio is designed for serious production workflows and connects to DAWs via the ACE Bridge plugin.
What is ACE Studio?
ACE Studio is an all-in-one AI music studio — a desktop application for Windows and macOS that combines AI vocals, AI instruments, voice cloning, a voice changer, a stem splitter, generative music kits, and video scoring in a single workspace. It is designed around expressive performance rather than auto-song generation: instead of one-click full-track generators, ACE Studio gives creators precise control over pitch, timing, vibrato, and emotion.
The core feature is Vocal Synth, which turns MIDI melodies and lyrics into studio-quality AI singing vocals. The platform offers more than 160 royalty-free AI voices (the homepage highlights 140+) across 8 languages, covering pop, R&B, cinematic, opera, and rap styles, plus a Choir Mode that assembles pop, gospel, kids', or opera choirs by drag and drop. Voice Cloning lets users upload vocal samples and train their own AI singing voice models in a few clicks, while Voice Changer transforms a voice into different characters or creative instrument sounds.
For instruments, ACE Studio provides 40+ royalty-free AI instruments with natural-play, auto-expressive performance generated from MIDI input, including Ensemble Mode for layered performances on a single track and the world's first AI string sections, recorded with the Budapest Art Orchestra. Generative Kits add Inspire Me, Add a Layer, and Music Enhancer tools for generating track ideas, building layers from text descriptions, and refining rough audio. Audio utilities include a Stem Splitter for separating tracks into stems and Vocal-to-MIDI / Audio-to-MIDI conversion for turning audio into editable MIDI.
The Video Composer uses an AI agent that analyzes every scene and cut in a video timeline, composes music that fits the mood, and adds editable sound effects. The ACE Bridge plugin (VST3, AU, AAX) connects the app to DAWs with ARA-based tempo sync. AI rendering runs in the cloud for fast performance on average laptops. ACE Studio also emphasizes artist rights: models are trained in partnership with real artists who receive royalty shares, and pre-made voices and instruments are royalty-free for commercial use.

Who is ACE Studio for?
ACE Studio is built for music producers, songwriters, composers, and creators who want professional-grade AI music tools without giving up expressive control. It targets real musicians rather than casual one-click song generators: people who work with MIDI, DAWs, and production workflows and want AI vocals and instruments that behave like studio performances. Primary users include independent producers and beatmakers who need demo vocals, backing vocals, or lead vocal ideas quickly without hiring session singers; songwriters who want to hear their lyrics sung in different voices, genres, and languages; film, game, and media composers who need realistic string sections and orchestral arrangements straight from MIDI; and video creators, YouTubers, and content teams who need original, royalty-free music and sound effects that match their footage. ACE Studio also suits vocalists and artists who want to clone their own voice for faster iteration or an extended range; educators and students in music programs (the site lists Berklee, CalArts, and other institutions among trusted users); and producers who work with existing audio, using the stem splitter and vocal-to-MIDI tools to repurpose tracks. Beginners can start with preset voices, instrument templates, drag-and-drop editing, and guided workflows, while advanced users get phoneme editing, expression shaping, vibrato control, and detailed MIDI adjustments. Because the app integrates with DAWs through the ACE Bridge plugin (VST3, AU, AAX) with ARA tempo sync, it fits directly into existing studio setups. Teams and enterprises can use seat-based plans with centralized billing and shared credits.
