The Quick DIY Explanation

The EVEN Quicker Way

Step 1: Write Your Custom Lyrics

Start by crafting some new lyrics that flow with the song's rhythm. 

2025 UPDATE: I suggest using the AI lyric swap tool. Simply paste the original lyrics, toss in your ideas, and watch it generate new lyrics. It even highlights your changes and lets you know about any mismatches!

Here are some other handy tools:

• Diffchecker: This side-by-side comparison helps ensure your new lyrics flow just right.
• ChatGPT: Use it for fresh ideas. You can ask the AI something like:

Please rewrite the lyrics below to be about my new ideas while keeping the rhyme scheme and syllable count. Here are my ideas: [insert ideas here]. Here are the original lyrics: [insert lyrics here].

Pro Tip: Don't be surprised if AI output needs some tweaking. Edit until it feels right - this is what it takes to get good generative AI results - whether it's generating words, images, or videos. 

Another Huge Tip! Keep your changes to the original lyrics subtle to maintain your message's impact. If the syllables or rhymes are significantly different, it will feel "off" to listeners.

Step 2: Obtain the Original Track

To craft a polished piece, you'll need to gather the original track's elements:

• Official Instrumentals: Look for these on music platforms.
• Karaoke Versions: These are great bases to start with.
• AI Isolation (What I do): Use tools like LALAL.AI to separate vocals from instrumentals effectively.

Step 3: Record the Custom Lyrics

You'll need to record those new lyrics as a pilot vocal for AI to guide the timing and melody. Here's how:

• DIY Recording: Feeling up to it? Fire up your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and record yourself:
  • Free options: GarageBand (Mac) and Audacity (Windows)
  • Paid options: Ableton, Logic, Reaper
• Home Recording Tips:
  • Pick a quiet space—no distractions.
  • Use a pop filter to control sharp sounds.
  • Stay about 6 inches from the mic.
  • Try multiple takes and pick the best.
• Hire a Pro: Fiverr or Upwork are fantastic for finding vocalists.
• Synthetic Vocals: Want to dabble with programming a vocal? Use tools like Synthesizerv for a "pilot vocal." ☠️ Just a heads up: this takes A LOT of effort - from a time + cost perspective, it makes more sense to use a real singer.

Step 4: Convert the Audio with AI Voice Cloning

Next, you want to transform your voice recording to match the original artist:

• Voice Cloning Tools: Try services like Jammable or Weights.gg. They analyze the singer's voice and "replace" your vocal tone.
• Custom AI Models: Feeling brave? Build your own AI voice model. Check this out.
• Local Processing: If you are coding-inclined, there are GitHub projects for voice cloning.

Step 5: Mix and Prepare the Final Track

Now it's time to bring everything together. Here's what you'll need:

1. Instrumental track (just the music)
2. Original vocal track
3. Your converted AI voice files (custom lyrics) - if your goal is reproducing the sections of most popular songs, you will most likely have multiple AI-created audio files.

Pro Tip: Free DAWs like GarageBand and Audacity work fine, but premium options like Logic Pro or Ableton offer more features.

For the final mix:

• Remove the original vocals where needed and replace them with your AI vocals.
• Add effects to blend the AI sound with the original.
• Use AI tools like iZotope Plugins for stellar mixing.

Mixing Tips:

• Use EQ to align the AI vocals with the original.
• Add reverb for a cohesive sound.
• Compress tracks for balanced levels.
• Adjust timing to sync everything seamlessly.

Avoid These Mistakes:

• Don't overdo it—start with light effects.
• Keep an eye on volume consistency.
• Use crossfades for smoother transitions.

Feeling overwhelmed by mixing? No worries! Check out YouTube for tutorials on audio mixing. Some favorites include:
