1. How to make an organ house track with AI vocals

1

Start by setting the BPM in your DAW to 124. Choose a big kick drum, one that’s both full and deep. The kick drum level should be set at around -5 or -6 dB. Select a few simple percussion loops, including a hi-hat top loop, an open hi-hat, and a clap and add them into your session. 2

Create a blank eight-bar MIDI pattern, add a synth (we’re going with Omnisphere 2) and program in a note on the root note in the key of your track. Find a warm pad sound. For us in Omnisphere, we’ve gone with the Hybrid Warm String Section preset. Freeze the track and create a new blank audio track. Press Command and drag the frozen track to a new audio track. 3

For the organ bass, we add Korg’s M1 and select M1 House Split. Next, we make a blank MIDI pattern and create a simple bassline that plays in between the kick drum hits, on the offbeats. Program a musical idea that repeats for the first three bars, and changes on the fourth. Add groove to the organ by varying the length of the notes. 4

Next we’ll use Moises, an AI app that you can try for free to add vocals. Find vocals in the key of your track from an existing song. Use Moises (moises.ai) and upload the track by clicking track separation/new. Once done, export the vocals. Click on Voice Studio and choose a voice to use by clicking ‘Use Voice’. 5

Drag your vocal-only track to the Voice Studio in Moises, select a voice, and click ‘Process Vocals’. After the track is processed, drag it into your DAW and warp the vocals if there are any timing issues. We use Ableton’s Warp Mode and choose Complex. Add a slap delay effect to the vocals by creating a Return Track and adding Echoboy. 6

Send the vocals to a delay effect on a bus channel. Choose a 1/16 delay, which helps the vocals blend into the track. Keep the feedback set to zero. Roll off the low end below 250 Hz, and high end above 4 kHz. Set the mix to 100% wet. Reduce the Width (if that option is available). Lastly, increase (or add) the saturation.
