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. It’s like baking—a great recipe needs the right ingredients!
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 handy tools:
- Diffchecker: This side-by-side comparison helps ensure your new lyrics flow just right.
- ChatGPT: Use it for fresh ideas. Ask:
Please rewrite the lyrics below while keeping the rhyme scheme and syllable count. Here are the original lyrics: [insert lyrics here].
Pro Tip: Don't be surprised if AI needs a little tweaking on the first go. Edit until it feels right.
Another Tip: Keep your changes subtle to maintain your message's impact.

Step 2: Record the Custom Lyrics
You’ll need to record those new lyrics. 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? Use tools like Synthesizerv for a “pilot vocal.” ☠️ Just a heads up: this requires some effort!
Step 3: 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 blend it with yours.
- Custom AI Models: Feeling brave? Build your own AI voice model. Check this out.
- Local Processing: If you code, there are GitHub projects for voice cloning.
Step 4: Obtain the Original Track
To craft a polished piece, 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: Use tools like LALAL.AI to separate vocals from instrumentals effectively.
Step 5: Prepare the Song Files for Mixing
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Instrumental track (just the music)
- Original vocal track
- Your converted AI voice file (custom lyrics)
Pro Tip: Free DAWs like GarageBand and Audacity work fine, but premium options like Logic Pro or Ableton offer more features.
Step 6: Mix the Track
Now, let’s bring it all together:
- 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.
