Have you ever captured the perfect vocal take, only to discover it's ruined by air conditioning hum, computer fan noise, or your neighbor's enthusiastic dog? We've all been there, and that's exactly why we created Vocal Prep by AutoTune®, our amazing new AI-powered vocal cleanup tool that transforms noise into silence, while your performance stays untouched.

How Vocal Prep Works: Simple, Fast, Effective

Using Vocal Prep couldn't be easier:

  1. Import your audio - Simply drag and drop your vocal file into the app, or click "Browse files" to select it. Vocal Prep supports all standard formats (.wav, .aiff, .flac and .mp3)
  2. Let Ai do its magic - Once imported, Vocal Prep automatically begins cleaning your audio. A typical 3-minute vocal takes less than 10 seconds to process.
  3. Compare the difference - The simple interface lets you toggle between "Original," "Prep’d," and "Removed" views in the spectrograph display, allowing you to both see and hear exactly what noise has been eliminated.
  4. Export and use - With one click, export your studio-quality vocal as a .wav file, ready to use in any project.

From Bedroom Studios to Billboard Charts

The ease of access to record music anywhere has been revolutionary, but noisy environments have remained a challenge for creators everywhere. Bedroom producers, podcasters, content creators, news reporters, and even professional studios dealing with unexpected noise issues can now level the playing field with Vocal Prep.

Imagine capturing a perfect vocal take in your bedroom and having it sound just like a recording made in a $10,000 isolation booth. That's not just convenient, it's creatively freeing. Your best ideas often come at unexpected moments, and now you can capture them with professional quality regardless of where inspiration strikes.

"We built Vocal Prep because great vocals deserve to be heard clearly, no matter where they were recorded," says Antares CEO Jeff Wright. "The technology is sophisticated, but the experience is simple, exactly as it should be."
