Importing and comping AI vocals in FL Studio
Fl Studio
Demo summary
The creator downloads the generated AI vocals and imports them into FL Studio, using NewTone for pitch correction and chopping multiple takes to create a final vocal hook.
Step-by-step
- Download the generated AI vocal files
- Drag and drop the vocal samples into the FL Studio playlist
- Right-click the sample and select Pitch correct sample to open NewTone
- Set the Scale and Key (e.g., D sharp minor) in NewTone
- Select Snap to scale to align the pitch
- Identify the best sections from multiple takes to comp them together
- Chop and rearrange the preferred segments to create a vocal hook or background effect
Options
- Use the vocal as a main hook or as a background vocal chop effect
- Manually repitch specific segments within NewTone
Watch out for
- Some AI-generated takes may get cut off at the end
Tips
- Download multiple variations of the same prompt to find better endings or specific emotional deliveries
- Look for takes where the waveform appears full to ensure the phrase wasn't cut short
- Combine the best parts of different takes (comping) rather than relying on a single generation

“the 808's crying kind of sounds hard to me. So I might run with that and just kind of chop it up”
