ACE Studio 2 Foundations
Level 1 — AI Singing Synthesis
Build a complete working knowledge of ACE Studio 2: the interface, MIDI and lyric workflow, voice model library, basic pitch and timing editing, breath and humanization controls, and the export pipeline that connects ACE Studio to your DAW. By Session 12 you have a finished professional-quality AI vocal performance ready for production use.
From first launch to a finished AI vocal performance — the complete ACE Studio 2 foundation.
Over 12 sessions you will learn the ACE Studio 2 interface and signal flow, MIDI import and piano roll basics, lyric input and phoneme alignment, the voice model library and how to audition and select voices, basic pitch and timing editing, breath and consonant controls, the humanization system, standalone versus plugin operation, and your first complete DAW export. Every session includes a production exercise with a downloadable worksheet.
By Session 12 you will have a finished AI vocal performance from scratch — correct phoneme alignment, natural breath placement, a shaped performance with intentional dynamics — and the ACE Studio 2 workflow fluency required to move directly into Level 2 Creative Control.
The foundation that makes Level 2 Creative Control possible.
ACE Studio 2 Foundations focuses entirely on core workflow: understanding the tool, building your first AI vocal performance with professional intention, and exporting it into a production-ready DAW session. Nothing is assumed except that you have access to ACE Studio 2 and want to use it professionally.
Completing this level unlocks Level 2 Creative Control (advanced expression, multi-voice arrangements, genre-specific techniques) and Level 3 Professional (pipeline integration, commercial release workflow, monetization strategy).
