06 / How it was made
Made with singers.
Not instead of them.
Every voice in I AM CHOIR was contributed knowingly and with consent. The singers were paid for their work, and they share in the success of the tool through a royalty.
Nothing replaces humans singing together in a room. This is an expansion of what's possible: a gospel lift, a kids' choir hook or a terrace-sized gang vocal, for producers who couldn't book one before.

Instant chorus lift every time.
Lil AaronProducer · Lizzo, Travis Barker, Kim Petras
- Choir
- Gospel
- Mic
- U67
- Layers
- Off for the first pass
The system 6 steps
- Activate your license in iLok License Manager before you open your DAW.
- Load I AM CHOIR. Find it under AM I AUDIO (AU Instruments on a Software Instrument track in Logic, Other in Pro Tools).
- Consolidate or bounce one dry solo vocal phrase to a WAV or AIFF under 45 seconds.
- Import it with Browse Files. Trim long silence at the start and end.
- Pick Gospel + U67 for a sung line, or Shout for a shouted part. Leave harmonies and octaves off.
- Click Create Vocals, audition, then drag the output onto an audio track and line it up with your source vocal.
Thicken the final chorus
I AM CHOIR has quickly become one of my favorite ways to add life and thicken up choruses.
Zakk CerviniProducer, mixer · Blink-182, Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud
- Choir
- Gospel
- Mic
- U67 (then compare others)
- Layers
- Octave Down, then one harmony
The system 6 steps
- Bounce the lead vocal for the final chorus only. Keep it dry and under 45 seconds.
- Generate the main Gospel choir with harmonies off and drag it in.
- Set Key and Scale to match the song (check major vs minor), then add Octave Down and generate again.
- Add one harmony, Third Above, and audition it against the track before adding more.
- Drag each part out as its own stem so the main choir, octave and harmony each get their own fader.
- Tuck the choir a few dB under the lead, then automate it up as the chorus peaks.
Size without the phasing
I AM CHOIR gives me size without the phasing and cloudiness you get from artificial doubling and stacking. I've never had a plugin that could do this.
Mike PlotnikoffProducer, mixer, engineer · Aerosmith, Van Halen, Kelly Clarkson
- Choir
- Gospel or Kids
- Mic
- U67
- Layers
- Main choir first, octaves optional
The system 6 steps
- Mute your artificial doubles and stereo wideners on the section you want bigger.
- Process the dry lead through I AM CHOIR with layers off.
- For a wider stereo choir, record a second real take of the same part and process it too, or use two takes as a stereo input (one take per channel).
- Pan the two choir outputs left and right in your DAW.
- Blend a little of the original dry vocal back in for clarity.
- Bring back only the doubles you still miss. Most of the time you need fewer.
More power on an already stacked hook
When I've already completely stacked the hook with doubles and harmonies, I AM CHOIR is my go-to for more power.
Howard BensonProducer · My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach
- Choir
- Gospel
- Mic
- U67
- Layers
- Octave Down for weight
The system 6 steps
- Leave your existing stack alone. Bounce only the dry lead line of the hook.
- Generate the main choir plus Octave Down.
- Drag the parts out as separate stems and put them on a bus under your stack.
- High-pass the choir bus so it adds power above your low end, not mud.
- Lower or mute Octave Up if the hook already sits high. It can dominate a high vocal.
- Add reverb to taste, then A/B the hook with and without the bus.
Build a terrace-sized gang vocal
- Choir
- Shout (Gang Vocals)
- Mic
- C24 for clean, U67 for grit
- Layers
- Off. Build size with takes instead
The system 6 steps
- Record several separate shouted takes of the part. One voice per take.
- Process each take through Shout on its own.
- Compare C24 for a cleaner crowd against U67 for more grit on the same take.
- Drag every output in and spread them across the stereo field.
- Nudge a few takes a few milliseconds early or late so it feels like a real crowd.
- Glue the bus with gentle compression and a short room reverb.
A children's choir hook for the big moment
- Choir
- Kids (MUSYCA Children's Choir)
- Mic
- U67, then compare
- Layers
- Octave Up only if the line is low
The system 5 steps
- Pick a higher melody. Kids suits higher parts better than low ones.
- Record or bounce a clean, dry take of just that line.
- Generate with harmonies off and check the pronunciation of every word.
- If a long held note wobbles, split the phrase shorter and process again.
- Drag it in, then add a longer hall reverb than you would on a lead.
An experimental layer for pitch manipulation
Whether you're after the authentic sound of a full choir or an experimental group vocal layer for pitch manipulation, I AM CHOIR takes your productions to a new level.

- Mic

- Layers
- Generate everything, then chop
The system 4 steps
- Generate a full choir with octaves and harmonies on.
- Drag every stem in, then treat the choir as raw material.
- Pitch it, reverse it, chop it into a sampler or slice it on the grid for risers and transitions.
- Resample the result into a new pad or texture for your track.
Run a full song, section by section
You want choir across a whole arrangement, not just one chorus.
- Choir
- Per section
- Mic
- Per section
- Layers
- Per section
The system 6 steps
- Mark the sections that need choir (usually choruses, a bridge, the outro).
- Consolidate each section into its own WAV or AIFF under 45 seconds.
- Process sections one at a time in the same plugin instance or fresh ones.
- Name every output by section and layer, for example Chorus2_Gospel_OctDown.
- Arrange outputs on audio tracks and turn off Warp, Elastic Audio or Follow Tempo on those tracks.
- Mix the choir as its own bus across the whole song.
The clean input checklist
Results sound glitchy or unclear. Ninety percent of fixes start here.
- Choir
- Any
- Mic
- Any
- Layers
- Off while testing
The system 6 steps
- One singer, one part. Remove reverb, delay, distortion, doubles and harmonies from the input.
- Use an original dry recording, not a vocal separated from a finished mix.
- Healthy level, no clipping. Raise quiet audio with clean gain, not heavy limiting.
- Gentle pitch correction only where needed. Hard tuning can sound less natural once harmonized.
- Trim long silence and shorten the phrase.
- Test the main choir with layers off, then add layers one at a time.
Make the before and after Reel
- Choir
- Whatever you used
- Mic
- Same as your session
- Layers
- Same as your session
The system 6 steps
- Screen record your session: the dry vocal soloed for 3 to 5 seconds, then the choir unmuted on the same phrase.
- Put a big on-screen label on each half: BEFORE and AFTER.
- Show the plugin window for a second so people see the choir and mic you picked.
- Keep it under 30 seconds and lead with the after if you want a stronger hook.
- In the caption, say it runs on macOS and that the trial is 14 days with no credit card.
- If you are an AM I AUDIO partner, use your own tracked link and code.

Looking for workflows? Open the creator playbookHow does I AM CHOIR work?
It turns a recorded solo vocal into a choir performance. Import your audio, choose a choir and microphone, generate the vocals, then drag the result back into your DAW. It works from a recorded vocal file, not from MIDI notes or typed lyrics.
What is the best first test?
Activate your license in iLok License Manager, open your DAW, and import a short dry solo vocal under 45 seconds with Browse Files. Choose Gospel and U67 for a sung line, or Shout for a shouted part. Leave harmonies off, click Create Vocals, then drag the result onto an audio track.
Which choir should I choose?
Gospel is the starting point for melodic singing and fuller chorus parts. Kids suits higher melodies and a brighter texture. Shout is built for gang vocals and chants. For Gospel or Kids start with U67. For Shout compare C24 for a cleaner sound with U67 for more grit.
Which systems and formats are supported?
macOS 12 or later, in VST3, AU and AAX. Windows is in development, and you can sign up for the beta to test it early.
I can't find the plugin in my DAW.
Search for I AM CHOIR or the manufacturer AM I AUDIO. In Logic, look under AU Instruments on a Software Instrument track. In Pro Tools, check Other in the insert menu. Then confirm the license is active, restart the DAW and rescan plugins.
Is my audio uploaded for processing?
No. Choir processing happens locally on your computer. Internet is only needed for license activation and the one-time model download during setup.
Do I need an activation code?
No. Your license is deposited into the iLok account you enter at signup or checkout. Activate it in iLok License Manager (Available, right-click, Activate) before opening your DAW. Signing in to the website alone does not activate it. A physical iLok USB is optional.
My license is missing from iLok.
Check that the User ID in iLok License Manager matches the one you entered at checkout. Your iLok User ID can be different from your email. Look in Available and All Licenses, then close and reopen License Manager. Still missing? Email [email protected] with your order email and correct iLok User ID.
I bought it but it still says my trial expired.
The paid license is activated separately from the trial. Close your DAW, open iLok License Manager, find the paid I AM CHOIR license and activate it on your computer.
Can I use one license on two computers?
Yes. Each license includes two activations for computers or iLok devices. To move one, deactivate it in License Manager first.
Why does the choir sound glitchy or unclear?
Start with the input. Use one clearly recorded voice singing one part. Remove reverb, delay, distortion, doubles and harmonies. Trim long silence, avoid clipping, and test the main choir with layers off before adding them back one at a time.
The harmonies sound out of tune.
Check that Key and Scale match the song, including major versus minor. Then listen with harmonies off. If the main part follows an out-of-tune input, gently correct the source vocal first. Key and Scale shape the harmonies. They do not retune your main vocal.
Why do I only get the main choir?
Choose Octave Up, Octave Down or the harmony buttons before clicking Create Vocals. Only the parts you select are generated. On the output screen, scroll the list to find parts below the visible area.
The choir sounds too high or thin.
Octave Up can dominate an already high vocal. Export the parts as separate stems, lower or mute the octave-up track, and balance the main choir with the octave-down part. A little of the original vocal blended in helps clarity.
Should I use mono or stereo input?
Mono solo vocal is the easy start. For stereo input, put two different takes of the same part on the left and right channels. You can also process two mono takes and pan the outputs.
Does it work in other languages?
The models are tuned for English. Other languages can work, but pronunciation varies. Use the 14-day trial to test the exact phrases you need.
Which files can I import, and how do I do a full song?
WAV or AIFF with one singer on one line, under 45 seconds per file. For a full song, process verses, choruses or phrases separately and arrange the outputs in your DAW. Consolidate edited regions into a new file first.
Dragging audio into the plugin does not work.
Use Browse Files inside I AM CHOIR and pick the consolidated file from its folder. It is the most reliable option when your DAW does not support dragging from the timeline.
How do I export, and why does Bounce in Place fail?
Drag the generated audio out of I AM CHOIR onto audio tracks. Use each output's file icon for one part, or the Stems control for all parts. The preview does not play in sync with your timeline, so an instrument-track bounce will not capture it.
The exported choir is stretched or out of time.
Turn off tempo following on the destination track. In Ableton turn Warp off, in Pro Tools set Elastic Audio to None, and in Studio One disable Follow Tempo. Then import the output again.
Is it a subscription, or does it use credits?
Neither. It is a $199 perpetual license. Local choir conversions never use credits or tokens.
How long is the trial, and do I need to cancel it?
The trial is fully featured for 14 days, needs no credit card and simply expires. It never charges you or turns into a subscription.
Can I use the choir in released music?
Yes, including commercial songs and client work, under the license agreement. You cannot sell or share outputs as isolated samples or sample packs, build sample libraries or instruments from them, or use them for AI training. Check your distributor's current AI-disclosure policy before release.
