About ACE Studio

Timedomain is a technology company founded in 2022 by Joe Guo, a sound algorithm engineer and product designer. The company operates in the artificial intelligence sector, with its flagship product being ACE Studio, an AI-powered vocal synthesis software. This desktop application is designed for music producers, songwriters, and creators, enabling them to generate realistic singing vocals by inputting MIDI and lyrics.

ACE Studio's core technology allows users to synthesize voices with a high degree of emotional expression and detail. The platform offers over 80 royalty-free, pre-made AI singers across various genres like pop, rock, R&B, and opera, supporting languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. A key feature is the ability for users to create their own custom AI voice models by uploading vocal samples, a service known as "Custom Singer". The software also includes tools for detailed vocal editing, allowing control over parameters like pitch, vibrato, breath, and tension. Additionally, the 'VoiceMix' feature enables the blending of different AI singers to create unique vocal timbres.

The business model is subscription-based, offering different tiers such as 'Artist' and 'Artist Pro' plans which provide access to the platform's features, AI vocalists, and slots for creating custom voices. Revenue is generated through these recurring subscriptions, with a 14-day free trial available. The company emphasizes a royalty-free license for the vocals created, allowing for commercial use. ACE Studio integrates with digital audio workstations (DAWs) through its ACE Bridge plugin, facilitating a smoother workflow for music producers. In September 2024, ACE Studio joined the AI for Music Initiative, highlighting its commitment to the ethical and responsible use of AI in music.
