Xport Studio vs Ace Studio
Ace Studio is an AI vocal synthesizer · type lyrics, draw a melody, hear an AI singer perform it. Xport Studio is a voice conversion + music production toolkit · start with a real or AI-generated vocal and shape it with the production tools you'd otherwise need three other apps for.
The short version: Ace Studio is a generative tool · you give it a melody and lyrics, it generates sung audio in an AI singer's voice. Xport Studio is a transformation + production tool · you bring an existing vocal (human or AI-generated) and convert its voice, split stems, mix, master, and ship. Many producers use both · Ace to write demos with AI vocals, then Xport to convert them to a real singer's voice and finish the production.

Feature by feature
An existing audio file. Drop in a vocal stem (sung by you, sampled, or AI-generated elsewhere), pick a target voice, get a converted file back.
MIDI notes + lyrics + AI singer selection. You compose the melody (or import a MIDI file), type the words, choose a voice, and the AI generates sung audio.
RVC v2 models · bring any .pth file from HuggingFace (thousands available) or train your own in Train Clone. Library lives on your disk.
Curated roster of AI singers across English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Voices are part of the platform; can't import arbitrary external models.
Voice conversion preserves the phrasing, timing, and emotion of the source vocal · you bring the performance, the AI changes the voice.
Granular synthesis controls · pitch curves, vibrato depth, breath envelope, dynamics. Excellent for composers who want to sculpt every nuance.
Six free tools alongside voice: Key/BPM Finder, Stem Splitter, Noise Remover, Mix & Master, Audio Converter, Trimmer.
Vocal-focused. You'd typically export the sung vocal and finish in a DAW (Ableton, Logic, FL Studio).
Fully offline after Voice Modeling Pack install. Audio never leaves your machine.
Desktop app with hybrid architecture · some inference is local, some calls their servers. Verify their current privacy policy if your work is NDA-sensitive.
Free during beta. One-time license post-beta. Free tools stay free.
Free trial + paid tiers. Pricing varies by region and feature set · check their official pricing page for current numbers.
Anything that produces a vocal stem · your own recording, a Vocaloid / Ace export, a sampled clip. Convert + finish here.
A DAW for arrangement and final mixing. Many producers use Ace + a separate vocal-cleaner + a separate mastering tool. Xport collapses those last steps into one app.
Use both, honestly
Ace and Xport aren't really competitors · they're stages of the same workflow. Write the song with AI vocals in Ace, then convert + mix + master in Xport. Many producers do exactly this.
