ToolifyNav verdict
ACE Studio fills a gap that text-to-song generators leave open: precise control over a sung part. Writing a melody, typing lyrics and getting a convincing vocal back, then editing it note by note, gives producers a usable demo singer or even a final take without booking a session. The 2.0 instruments and strings broaden it into a compact AI workstation. It asks for musical literacy in return, and generative extras run on credits beyond the base fee. Songwriters and composers who already work in MIDI will see the most direct return from it.
About
About ACE Studio
ACE Studio is aimed at music producers rather than prompt-to-song hobbyists. Its core is a singing voice synthesizer: you enter a melody as MIDI, type lyrics, and choose from more than 140 royalty-free AI voices across eight languages, in styles ranging from pop and R&B to opera, rap and kids' choir. Pitch, timing and expression can be edited note by note, and Choir Mode lets you drag several voices into a pop, gospel or opera ensemble.
Version 2.0 extends the same idea to instruments. AI virtual instruments generate natural performances from MIDI without massive sample libraries, Ensemble Mode layers several players on one track, and an AI string section recorded with the Budapest Art Orchestra aims at a cinematic sound straight from MIDI input. Voice cloning trains a singing model from your own samples, and a voice changer turns a recorded vocal into a different character.
Beyond synthesis, ACE Studio includes a stem splitter, vocal-to-MIDI conversion that also extracts lyrics, generative kits for sparking and layering ideas, a music-video generator and a video composer that scores backing tracks to footage. Subscriptions include unlimited use of the voices and instruments, while generative features draw on monthly credits, and a rent-to-own option converts two years of payments into a perpetual license.
