2 Ways To Recreate Group Vocals With AI

AI can mimic voices, but merging the unique styles of multiple singers? Now that’s an intriguing challenge. Let’s explore how to recreate those vibrant group vocals you love from popular tracks.

Strategies for Handling Group Vocals

When I tackle group vocals with AI, I usually choose between two main paths.

Option 1: Create a mono group vocal model and then expand it. This route is faster, but the sound may lack that perfect quality.

Option 2: Build each vocal layer individually with a solo model. It takes longer but results in a fuller, richer sound.

Right now, many public AI models are still finding their way with stereo group vocals. But there’s no need to worry—platforms like Udio can produce realistic stereo group vocals, even if they can't convert existing vocals just yet.

Creating a Mono Group Vocal Model

This approach works wonders when the singers blend well or harmonize in octaves. I pull together all instances of those group vocals from the song to train the AI model. Just keep your expectations in check—you won’t get polished, radio-ready vocals on the first try.

This method is perfect for demos or tracks where you want a genuine feel.

I begin by isolating the group vocals and let the AI weave them into a harmonious sound. Just be careful with pitch discrepancies or wavering notes—they can be tricky to fix, even with tools like Melodyne.

The upside? It saves me from having to recreate every little detail from the original vocals.

Creating Each Vocal Layer with a Solo Vocal Model

This method breaks down each vocal layer one by one. It’s a meticulous process that requires a keen ear for details.

Imagine pulling together the powerhouse vocals of Freddie Mercury, mixing in Taylor Swift’s counter melody, with James Brown providing those soulful backups. I treat each voice individually before blending them into the final piece.

While it’s time-consuming, the results are worth it.

Combining Both Strategies

I often mix these methods, particularly during a lyric swap. I layer an AI-generated group vocal for texture while enhancing it with polished solo harmonies for depth.

Here’s hoping someone invents a handy tool to automate this soon!

Mixing Tips for Group Vocals

Using a compressor on your vocal bus is a game-changer. It helps to “glue” those vocals together. A touch of saturation can kick up the energy in your mix and cover any AI slip-ups. Personally, I love using Nectar for this.

For mixing, check out tools like Nectar and Neutron. Keep your harmonies simple—AI can struggle with overly complex arrangements. Sticking to one octave usually does the trick, but trying multiple harmonies? That’s a whole different story.
